The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lookin' at the charts for the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow start, but there's a little glimmer of hope if you're willin' to wait.
The forecast period begins with a bit of a dud, honestly. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead. The first sign of anything worthwhile is a solid week away.
The first real whiff of something decent comes in on Wednesday morning, July 30th. The swell is tiny, only 2ft from the South, but the magic is in the wind. We've got a light, cross-offshore breeze from the WSW, which should keep things clean. The water is sitting at a pretty normal 63°, so no surprises there. The combined energy is weak (124), so it's not gonna be pumping, but for a quiet session, it might be the only game in town. The spot is Tramandai Pier (Platforma), a beach/pier setup that's inconsistent, so don't go in expecting much. It's the best of a bad bunch.
After that, things get ugly again. The whole week from Thursday the 30th right through to the end of the first week is a write-off. We get a big spike of energy on Friday the 31st with a 7ft swell from the ENE, but the NE wind is howling at 19 mph, making it a lumpy, cross-on mess. That's more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day. The energy reads a strong 526, but it's just not usable.
We get a little break on Saturday morning, August 2nd, with a tiny 1.0ft swell and cross-shore wind, but it's so small it's barely a ripple. The afternoon sees a 7ft swell from the ENE, but it's a short, weak period (8 seconds) and the wind is cross-on. It's a marginal call at best.
The next real standout doesn't come until Tuesday morning, August 5th. The swell is still small, 3ft from the SSE, but the wind shifts to a light cross-offshore from the West. The combined energy is a moderate 289, and the period is a nice 11 seconds, giving the waves a bit of life. The conditions are clean. This is the best bet in the whole 16-day window. It's a promise that's far away, but it's the one to circle on the calendar. The spot is still your only option, Tramandai Pier (Platforma).
The second week is a mixed bag. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th have strong offshore winds from the WNW, but the swell is small and the energy is moderate. It's clean, but the waves are small. Saturday the 8th stays clean, with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still just over 3ft. The real kicker might be Monday morning, August 10th. We've got a 5ft swell from the South, with a light cross-offshore from the SW. The energy is moderate (378), and the conditions are clean. It's a promising-looking session, but it's still a week and a half away.
After that, the energy picks up again, but the wind turns onshore and the surf gets lumpy and messy. The end of the forecast window looks like a washout.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a bust. The only two real standouts are Wednesday morning, July 30th for a clean, small wave, and Tuesday morning, August 5th for the best combination of clean conditions and a little more grunt. After that, it's a long shot. Keep an eye on the charts, but don't be afraid to take a break.
Rusty.
