The Lowdown

Rightio, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Tramandai Pier (Platforma). This is a beach/pier setup, exposed to the swell, and it’s inconsistent, so we’ve got to pick our moments. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is about 2° warmer than the usual for this time of year – nothing to write home about, just a touch on the mild side.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, then it kicks into gear. The first real chance comes Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. It’s glassy, with a 4ft swell from the ENE, 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate (215). It’s clean, but not a standout – just a nice little session to start the week.

The real action starts building from the 4th of August. Tuesday morning the 4th has glassy conditions with a 4ft SSE swell at 11 seconds, and the energy is up to 427. That’s a nice, long-period groundswell, and with light WSW winds, it’ll be clean. This is a solid option, but the best is yet to come.

Now, the standout. Look at the 9th of August – Sunday morning. We’ve got a 7ft S swell, 12-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 1131. That’s a powerful, long-period groundswell. The wind is WSW at 9 mph, cross-offshore, and it’s clean. This is excellent surf, but at 7ft, it’s getting into intermediate-to-expert territory. The swell direction is S, which matches the optimum SSE direction pretty well, so the pier should handle it. This is the best on offer, no question.

Then, the 11th of August – Tuesday morning. Another cracker: 8ft S swell, 12 seconds, 1779 energy. Offshore wind from the W at 9 mph, making it glassy and clean. This is for experts only – 8ft is serious. Again, the S direction works well here. This is the second standout, but it’s a big one.

The week after that, from the 12th onwards, the swell drops but stays fun. The 12th has 6ft and 5ft S swell with clean conditions. The 14th and 15th of August offer nice, clean 5ft to 5ft SSE swell, with light offshore winds – good for intermediates, and the combined energy is around 419 to 513, so it’s got some punch.

Be aware, the 8th of August has a 5ft S swell but with a short 7-second period and cross-on winds – not great. Also, the 13th and 16th onwards get messy with onshore winds and choppy conditions.

Overall, the best windows are the mornings of the 9th, 11th, and 12th of August. The 9th and 11th are the true standouts – big, powerful, clean groundswell. If you’re not an expert, stick to the 12th, 14th, or 15th for a more manageable 5ft to 6ft. The 2nd of August is a nice warm-up.

Rusty.
