Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tramandai Pier (Platforma) over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let's break this down. We're looking at Tramandai Pier (Platforma), a beach/pier setup that's exposed to the swell but only picks up waves from a south-southeast direction. Thing is, it's inconsistent, so we need to wait for the right alignment.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a write-off. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are a mess – cross-onshore winds and short-period, choppy junk. Not worth paddling out.
Sunday the 26th is where it starts to get interesting. Sunday morning we've got a north wind swinging offshore, cleaning up a 6 ft swell from the east. The energy is moderate (563), and the break should be clean. Sunday afternoon gets even better – the wind drops to glassy, dead calm, with a clean 4 ft wave. The swell period is short (8 seconds), so it'll be a little fat and fun, but for a glassy session, this is the pick of the first week. Get on it.
Then we hit a flat spell. Monday the 27th through Tuesday the 29th is all tiny, weak, and mostly onshore. Barely a ripple. Wednesday the 30th shows a pulse of 6 ft from the south with a longer 12-second period and solid energy (899), but the wind is onshore and it's rated as marginal. Still, for the brave, there might be a few.
Saturday the 1st of August is the standout. Morning brings a 6 ft swell from the east-northeast, clean with a cross-offshore southwesterly breeze. The energy is strong (798), and it's looking very good. This is the best on offer – a proper chest-to-head-high day with clean walls. It'll have some push.
After that, the second week looks average. Sunday the 2nd drops right off, and then we get a windy, lumpy mess from the 3rd through the 5th. Strong onshore breezes and building swell, but it's blown out. By Saturday the 8th of August, things clean up again – a 3 ft south-easterly swell with light offshore winds, clean. A nice little morning session to close the outlook.
Overall, don't waste your time on the first few days. Sunday the 26th afternoon for a glassy, playful session, and then lock in Saturday the 1st of August for the best, clean, strong swell of the period.
