The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Tramandai Pier (Platforma). It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so we’ll take it day by day.
We’re starting off with a bit of a wait. The surf is on the table Wednesday afternoon, but it’s gonna be a messy one. A 8ft swell from the SSE with a 15-second period, giving it a lot of energy (2266), but that cross-on wind from the ENE at 16 mph is going to chop it up. The water is sitting at 59°F, which is a bit colder than you’d expect for this time of year. Not the one to paddle out for.
Thursday stays average. The swell drops a touch, and that cross-shore wind keeps things bumpy. Friday morning picks up a bit with a 7ft swell from the ENE, but the wind is still cross-on, making it only marginal. We’re still waiting for a real window.
Now, Saturday the 29th of August is where things start to look up. The swell is a solid 5ft from the ENE, but the real magic is that light cross-offshore wind from the SW. It’s clean. The energy is moderate (416), and it’s a genuine chance for some fun waves. It’s not the biggest, but the conditions are right.
The real standout, though, is Monday the 31st of August afternoon. The swell is a solid 8ft from the E with a decent 8-second period, and combined energy (737) is solid. But the wind switches to a light, clean cross-offshore from the W. That’s the recipe for a very good session. This is the best on offer in the first week.
After that, things get a bit quieter. Tuesday the 1st of September has clean conditions but the swell drops right off to 3ft, so it’s not worth getting too excited about. The following week has a few clean days, but the swell is small.
Keep an eye on Tuesday the 8th of September. The morning looks incredible with a 8ft E swell, light offshore wind, and clean conditions. But then the afternoon blows up to 10ft. That’s big. It’s clean, but that’s expert territory only at this break. The 8th of September morning is a serious contender for the best window, but it’s over a week away, so keep your fingers crossed it holds.
The last few days of the forecast show some bigger swells, but the wind is mostly onshore and messy. There’s a long gap of poor conditions from the 4th of September to the 7th of September, so don’t hold your breath then.
The very best bet is Monday the 31st of August afternoon. Clean conditions, a solid 8ft swell from the E, and the wind is working for you. Get out there.
Rusty.
