The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming down the pipe for Tramandai Pier (Platforma) over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burner, so don’t go getting your hopes up for the next few days—there’s a lot of junky, small, onshore slop to wade through before the ocean decides to get its act together.
The water’s sitting at 64.4°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Not a big deal, but you won’t need the thickest suit.
We’re looking at a real flat spell right through to the end of the first week. Monday afternoon is a write-off with a weak 4.3ft ENE windswell and a cross-on breeze. Tuesday morning cleans up a little with a 3.6ft SSE groundswell and light offshore WNW wind, but it’s not going to be anything to write home about—just a few small, clean walls for the log if you’re desperate. That’s about the only glimpse of decency for a while. The rest of Tuesday through Friday is all small, gutless, and cross-on. Don’t bother.
Friday afternoon brings a bit more energy but it’s short-period and lumpy. Not worth the paddle.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Saturday the 8th of August is the first real standout. After a messy morning with 5.2ft S swell, the afternoon turns it on. The wind dies right off to glassy, and that 5.6ft S swell bumps up to a 16-second period—that’s proper groundswell energy. For a beach/pier setup, that long period can make things a bit straight, but the glassy conditions and the size make it a damn good session for the experienced crew. This is the pick of the first week, no question.
Sunday the 9th has a decent morning with 3.6ft S swell and clean cross-off wind, but it’s not in the same league. The afternoon gets messy again.
The following week is a mixed bag. There’s a big pulse of south swell pushing through Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th, with size getting up to 6.6ft, but the wind is all over it—onshore and choppy. Skip it. Wednesday the 12th is blown out and lumpy with a fresh NE wind. Not surfable.
We get a little clean-up on Thursday the 13th with offshore wind and a 5.2ft ENE swell, but it’s short-period and not that exciting. It’s a maybe.
Now, for the second week’s real promise: Monday the 17th of August. After a wild and blown-out weekend with a near gale force NE wind on Saturday the 16th, the ocean finally settles. Monday morning sees 7.5ft E swell with a light cross-off wind, and the afternoon goes offshore with 6.6ft E swell. This is a proper, solid swell with clean conditions. The energy is strong, and while it’s breaking a bit east of the optimum SSE direction, it’s still going to be a cracking day. This is your other standout—a full two-week highlight.
Finally, Tuesday the 18th of August brings a massive pulse. The afternoon shows a monumental 11.5ft SSW swell with an 11-second period and huge energy. That’s a big, powerful groundswell. But here’s the catch: it’s predicted to be too big for this break. That’s beyond expert territory, and it’s going to be a washing machine. Even with clean offshore wind, you’d be crazy to paddle out unless you’ve got a death wish. That one’s for the chargers only, or maybe the kite surfers.
So, bottom line: if you want clean waves, your two best bets are Saturday afternoon the 8th for a glassy, medium-size groundswell, and Monday the 17th for a bigger, powerful swell with good winds. Everything else is either too small, too messy, or too big. Keep your eyes on that Monday the 17th—it’s the one with the most promise. Over and out.
