The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, checking in for your local surf outlook.

Alright, mate, let’s be straight up. This run for Tramandai Pier (Platforma) is a mixed bag with a couple of windows that could be alright, but you’re gonna have to pick your moments. The first few days are pretty average, and we have a big gap of poor conditions before a potential standout window.

Friday the 4th is a write-off. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the SE with weak energy (118) and a cross-on wind. Not worth paddling out.

Saturday the 5th gets a little more interesting. The morning is messy with a 4ft S swell and cross-shore wind, but the *afternoon* cleans up nicely. That south swell pulls in at a fun 4ft with a decent period, and the wind swings cross-off from the SW. It’s clean. Not a world-beater, but ridable. This is the first real chance for a session.

Sunday the 6th brings more size, with the swell pushing 8ft from the S and moderate energy (949), but that wind is up at 15 mph and kicking up a chop. The morning has clean faces but a strong cross-off, and the afternoon turns into a criss-cross mess. This is expert-only territory at that size, and with the chop, it’s going to be a battle. Probably more fun for kites than paddles.

Then we hit a big dry spell. Monday the 7th morning is a brief flicker of hope – glassy conditions and a clean 5ft SSE swell (419 energy) – that’s a good window for an intermediate surfer if you can get out early. But the arvo goes onshore and choppy. From Tuesday the 8th all the way through Friday the 11th, it’s a grim run of poor surf. Cross-on winds, short-period junk, and messy conditions. Not worth a look. That’s a solid four-day gap of nothing.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Saturday the 12th is a standout, but with a big caveat. We’ve got a solid 10ft swell from the SSW with strong energy (1636) and clean, cross-off winds. The wave comment flags that the swell is predicted to be *too big for this break*. This is a big, powerful groundswell. It’s expert-only, potentially violent, and the pier setup might handle it, but you’d better know what you’re doing. Sunday the 13th is still big at 8-8ft from the SE with very strong energy (1694), but with that long period (11 seconds), it might be walled up on the beach. Again, only for the hardcore.

Monday the 14th drops a bit in size, but the wind goes onshore and the period is very long (12 seconds), which can make the beach break fat and closed out. Poor conditions again.

Looking further ahead, Thursday the 17th offers a nice, clean, glassy morning with a small 3ft ESE swell. That’s a beginner-friendly, fun little session. The afternoon gets a bit of a bump to 5ft with a clean cross-off, but the period is short (7 seconds), so it’ll be a bit weak.

Saturday the 19th shows some promise with a 6ft S swell and decent energy (1037), but the cross-on wind kills it. The morning might be just about rideable if the wind stays light.

So, the two real standouts are: Saturday the 12th for experts only (massive, clean, but dangerous), and Monday the 7th morning for anyone else wanting a clean, glassy 5ft wave. Everything else is a compromise or a miss.

Stay salty,
Rusty
