The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Tramandai Pier (Platforma). It’s been a little slow out of the gate, but we’ve got some clean swell on the horizon. The water is running a bit colder than usual for this time of year, about 1°F below average, so you’ll want a good wetsuit.

First real look is on Thursday morning, July 23rd. We’ve got a 7ft swell coming from the SSE with a short 8-second period, but the wind is dead glassy. The wave energy is solid (672), so even though the period is short, the sets will have some punch. Expect clean, fun waves. That’s your best call for the near term.

Friday the 24th gets blown out with strong NE winds, so skip it. Saturday morning the 25th looks good again. The wind goes offshore from the W at 12 mph, with a 5ft ENE swell. The energy is up there (627), and with that offshore wind, the waves will be clean and lined up. Good session in the making.

Sunday the 26th starts off glassy with a 4ft E swell, but the energy drops to 388. It’s calm and clean, but small – perfect for a longboard.

We hit a lull from Monday the 27th through Tuesday the 28th. The swell drops under 3ft, and the wind is messy. Then on Wednesday the 29th, we get a nice pulse of S swell at 4ft, with a 12-second period (groundswell) and a cross-offshore wind. The energy is strong (512), and the waves will have good shape. That’s a standout for that mid-week stretch.

Now into the first week of August, things get serious. Saturday, August 1st has a 4ft SE swell with a very long 16-second period. The wind goes offshore in the afternoon, and the energy is huge (958). That’s going to be a clean, powerful swell, but with that long period, it’s better suited to the pier or deeper spots – the beach sections might be too straight.

Sunday, August 2nd is a beast – a 10ft ENE swell rolls in with glassy conditions in the morning. But honestly, that’s too big for most of us. The energy is absolutely pumping (1382), so this is expert-only territory. The wind goes cross-onshore in the afternoon, so the morning is the only window for the brave.

Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th of August settle back into a clean rhythm. Offshore winds, 5ft to 6ft E/ENE swells, and solid energy. That stretch from the 1st through the 4th is the real highlight of the whole 16-day window – plenty of clean, punchy waves if you’re up for it.

So, to sum it up: Thursday the 23rd and Saturday the 25th of July are your best immediate picks. The real standout sessions are August 1st (afternoon) through the 4th of August. Keep an eye on the wind, and don’t sleep on the long-period groundswell on the 1st – it’ll be powerful but tricky.

Rusty.
