The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a lot of wind and rain to talk about, so don’t expect a smooth ride.
The overall pattern is pretty tough. For the next week or so, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and a lot of that swell comes with a short period, making for messy, choppy conditions. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can get away with a thinner wetsuit if you’re brave enough to paddle out.
The first real chance to get wet is on the morning of August 10th (Monday) at Tramandai Pier (Platforma). We’ve got a solid 8 ft swell from the S with a 12-second period, so there’s plenty of juice. The combined swell energy is strong, sitting at 2880. The wind is a cross-off from the WSW at 9 mph, and the report calls it clean. This is your best early option, but be warned: it’s an inconsistent spot, so don’t expect a wave every minute. This size is pushing it for beginners too.
After that, things go downhill fast. From Monday afternoon all the way through to August 14th (Friday), the wind shifts onshore or cross-onshore with moderate to fresh breezes, and we get a lot of light rain. The waves are there, but it’s lumpy and choppy. Not worth your time.
August 15th (Saturday) sees the swell drop to 7 ft but the period falls to a weak 8 seconds, and the wind is light cross-onshore. It’s not terrible, but it’s not good either.
The next standout is the morning of August 16th (Sunday). We get a 5 ft swell from the E with an 8-second period, but the real story is the offshore wind from the NW at 6 mph. The report says it’s clean. It’s a light wind, and with the combined swell energy at 443, it’s weak, but it’s the cleanest-looking window we’ve had in a while. The swell is small enough for beginners, but the short period means it’ll be a bit crumbly.
The following week is a real mixed bag. August 18th (Tuesday) pops up with a 6 ft swell from the S with an 8-second period, and a fresh cross-off wind from the WSW at 19 mph. It’s clean, but that wind is strong. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddling one, to be honest.
Looking further out, the end of the second week – August 24th (Monday) and August 25th (Tuesday) – shows some bigger swell returning. We're talking 7 ft from the S with a longer 11-second period on the 24th, and 7-7 ft from the SSE with a 12-second period on the 25th. The combined energy is high (1087 and 1279). But the wind is a moderate to fresh cross-shore, which will put a chop on it. It’s promising, but with that onshore component, it’s a long-range hope, not a sure thing. The long period means it’s better suited to a point or reef, but this is a beach/pier setup, so expect it to close out a bit.
To be honest, there’s no perfect day here. Your best bet is Sunday morning, August 16th, for the clean conditions, or Monday morning, August 10th, if you want the biggest, most powerful swell and can handle the inconsistency.
Rusty.
