The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way for Tramandai. The first week is a bit of a struggle, with a lot of marginal conditions and onshore winds, but there's a definite light at the end of the tunnel. The standout windows are tucked away in the second week, so keep your eyes on the calendar.

First up, we have a promising start. On Saturday, July 25th, the morning at Tramandai Pier (Platforma) is looking clean. The water temp is sitting at 62°, which is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there. We've got a glassy 4ft swell rolling in from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate at 375, and with the wind completely dead, it’ll be smooth. It’s not huge, but that’s a great session for a beginner or just a fun day out. The pier can get a bit busy sometimes, but on a Saturday morning with small waves, it might be worth a look.

That glassy spell doesn't last. The afternoon on the 25th sees the wind swing onshore, and the surf gets a bit messy. From Sunday the 26th right through to the end of the month, it’s a grind. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, the swell drops off, and we get a lot of “marginal” or “poor” conditions. There’s a small window on Wednesday the 29th morning with a light offshore from the WNW, but the swell is tiny at 2ft and the energy is weak (84). It’s surfable, but you’ll be scratching for waves.

The first week of August is where things get interesting. The 1st and 2nd of August are nothing special, but from the 3rd onwards, it gets a bit wild. Monday the 3rd brings a 6ft SE swell, but the wind is cross, so it’s a bit messy. The real story is Tuesday, August 4th. The afternoon session is a standout for experienced surfers only. We’re looking at a 8ft swell from the ENE with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a massive 1213, which is strong. The wind is light and cross-off from the SW, meaning it’ll be clean. This is big, powerful, and will be a handful. The swell is over 8ft, so this is strictly for experts. The morning of the 4th is even bigger at 10ft, but that’s simply too big for this break.

After that, the swell backs off a bit, but there’s a sneaky good session on Friday, August 7th. The afternoon sees a 5ft swell from the ENE, and again, the wind goes cross-off from the SW, giving us clean conditions. The energy is moderate (341), but the quality will be there. Sunday, August 9th also looks okay with a clean 6ft swell, but the wind is a bit stronger.

So, the best bet on the whole forecast? It’s the afternoon of Tuesday, August 4th. Swell is 8ft from the ENE, clean cross-off wind, strong energy. It’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s for the experienced crew only. The afternoon of Friday, August 7th is the runner-up, with a more manageable 5ft ENE swell and clean conditions.

Don't get too excited about the first week. It's a write-off. But that second week has some juice.

Rusty.
