The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up.
The first real surf doesn’t show until Tuesday the 1st, so you got a quiet start.
Tuesday morning (1st September) – Tramandai Pier (Platforma). We’re looking at 7ft from the east, but it’s a short period windswell at 8 seconds. The silver lining is a light cross-offshore wind from the SW, keeping things clean. The combined energy is moderate at 623. Water temp is about normal for the season.
Wednesday morning (2nd September) is the pick of the early week. Swell drops to 6ft from the ESE, period stretches to 9 seconds – better shape. Light W cross-offshore breeze, clean conditions all around. Energy sits at 521. This is a solid, fun session.
There’s a lull from Thursday afternoon through Saturday morning (3rd–5th September) – small and crummy.
Sunday morning (6th September) – a 7ft S swell with a moderate cross-offshore breeze, but the wind is up so it’s a bit rough. Only marginal.
Monday morning (7th September) is a real stand-out. Offshore wind from the W, 6ft swell from the SSE, period at 10 seconds, combined energy 707. Clean, lined-up, and quiet. That’s a gem.
The middle of the month gets messy until Thursday morning (10th September) when a big 8ft ENE swell hits, short period, combined energy of 1145. It’s lumpy and onshore – only for the hardcore.
Friday morning (11th September) cleans up – 7ft from the ENE, 10-second period, cross-offshore SW wind, energy 791. That’s another good one, but the swell is getting sizeable.
The big dog shows up Saturday and Sunday (12th–13th September) – 8ft from the S and SSE, periods of 12–13 seconds, combined energy hitting 2390 to 2423 – that’s very strong energy. That is expert-only territory, with onshore wind and chop. The water temp is still average for the time of year, but the ocean will have some serious power.
After that, the second week fades into small, blown-out conditions.
If you’re planning, Wednesday morning (2nd September) and Monday morning (7th September) are your best bets. Clean, fun, and solid waves.
Rusty out.
