Alright folks, Rusty here on the beach mic.
Gotta be honest, the next 16 days at Tramandai Pier (Platforma) are a bit of a mixed plate – a whole heap of average with just a couple of really solid opportunities. Patience is the key.
We start this Sunday, July 12th with small, clean waves. Nothing special, but it's a start. Water temp is a nippy 57°, which is way colder than normal, so make sure you've got your thickest rubber on.
The middle of the week is where it gets a little frustrating. We get a lot of bumpy, onshore wind days. The swell sticks around 5ft on Wednesday the 15th, but it's a short-period, weak 7-second wave. The combined energy is moderate (454), but the shape will be poor.
We get a couple of clean windows like Sunday the 19th and Thursday the 23rd, with lighter winds and cleaner faces. But the swell is small, just 3ft to 6ft. Good for a longboard or a fun fish.
The real highlight, and the one you need to pencil in, is Sunday the 26th. We've got a big, long-period groundswell from the S/SW coming in. Expect solid 7ft to 8ft sets with a 14-second period, packing very strong wave energy (2854+). This is for experts only. Winds are light but a bit cross, so the conditions won't be totally pristine. Monday the 27th is even bigger, cranking 10ft from the SSE with a very-long 16-second period, but onshore winds will trash it, making it more of a spectacle for kite surfers than a paddle session. Aim for the 26th for the best of the big stuff.
For everything else, pick your windows carefully. The long-range forecast looks promising, but it's still a ways off. I'll be out there on the 26th.
