Tramandai Pier (Platforma) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Right off the bat, the outlook for Tramandai Pier (Platforma) is a mixed bag over the next two weeks. The wave energy is moderate in the early days, around 383, but it’s a bit of a waiting game for the real standout sessions. The water temp is sitting at 62°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Saturday morning, July 25th, is your first real chance with a clean 4 ft swell from the ESE. The wind is glassy, coming light from the NE, and that’s a major positive. The swell period is 8 seconds, so it’s a short period wind swell, but it’ll be clean and offshore-friendly. Expect decent shape for an intermediate surfer.

Sunday afternoon, July 26th, is another glassy window. The swell drops a touch to 4 ft from the E, still with that same 8-second period, but the light NE wind is glass again. The energy is moderate at 257. It’s a good, clean option for a Sunday session.

The next true standout comes on Thursday morning, July 30th. Swell is 4 ft from the S, with a 9-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SW. That’s a recipe for better-shaped waves, with moderate energy at 272. This is a solid pick.

Now, the best of the whole forecast is Saturday, August 1st. The morning sees a bigger 6 ft swell from the ENE, but it’s short period at 8 seconds and the wind is a moderate cross-offshore from the NNW. The energy is strong at 502, so it’s pushing into the moderate-to-strong range. The afternoon is the real gem: 4 ft from the ENE, clean offshore wind from the NW, and light breeze under clear skies. The energy is 255. For a Saturday, this is your best bet. The swell is big enough to be fun for intermediates, but if you’re a beginner, 6 ft might be a bit much.

Tuesday afternoon, August 4th, is another highlight. Swell is 6 ft from the ENE, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the SW. Energy is 543, and it’s a very good session. The waves will be well-shaped, and the crowd is listed as “sometimes,” so it might get a bit busy, but nothing too heavy.

Wednesday morning, August 5th, offers a glassy 5 ft from the E, with a moderate 8-second period. That’s a solid session for intermediates, but it’s getting close to the “too big for beginners” line.

The second week has a few moments, but nothing that screams “drop everything.” Thursday afternoon, August 6th, has a glassy 4 ft from the ENE, and the energy is 200. Friday morning, August 7th, is also glassy with a 3 ft ENE swell, but only 149 energy, so it’s a bit ordinary.

Overall, the best on offer is the Saturday afternoon, August 1st, and the Tuesday afternoon, August 4th. Both have clean wind, decent swell size, and moderate energy. The rest of the window has some clean moments, but they’re not as strong.

Rusty, signing off.
