Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tramandai Pier (Platforma) over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Tramandai Pier for the next couple weeks.
Right off the bat, Tuesday morning the 7th of July has a small 3ft swell from the ESE, with a long 10-second period. The water is feeling much colder than normal at 57° – a wild 3° colder than average for this time of year. Winds are offshore from the W at 15 mph, so it’s clean, but the energy is only moderate (227). It’s surfable but weak, and inconsistent as this spot often is. Tuesday afternoon goes downhill fast with a poor 3ft SSW swell and short 8-second period, plus cross-off winds – not worth paddling out.
Wednesday the 8th of July morning is better. A clean 3ft south swell with a nice 11-second period, light offshore WNW breeze at 6 mph. Energy is moderate (300). The afternoon gets even sweeter – glassy conditions with an ENE breeze at just 3 mph, and 3ft of south swell at 10 seconds. Clean, small, and fun for an intermediate. This is the standout of the first few days.
Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are pretty ordinary. Small cross-shore winds and weak 2ft to 3ft ESE swells. Not much juice.
Now, here’s the real highlight. Sunday the 12th of July both morning and afternoon are looking excellent. Sunday morning you’ve got glassy conditions with the wind swinging W at 3 mph, a solid 4ft south swell with an 11-second period, and strong wave energy (787). The afternoon stays clean with cross-off WSW winds at 6 mph, 4ft SSE swell, 10-second period, energy at 642. This is the best on offer – clean, punchy, and good for intermediates. Crowds are possible here, so don’t sleep in.
Saturday the 11th of July is messy – a 4ft to 4ft ESE swell but with onshore and cross-shore winds, rain, and chop. Not the one.
Monday the 13th of July morning is clean with offshore SW winds, but it’s a modest 3ft south swell at 9 seconds. Surfable, but not special.
After that, we hit a long dry stretch. From Tuesday the 14th of July all the way through to Wednesday the 22nd of July, it’s mostly poor conditions. Weak swells, short periods, onshore cross-shore winds from the NE or ENE, and lots of chop. There’s a brief moment on Monday the 20th of July morning where you get a glassy 4ft ENE swell with a light northerly breeze, but it’s a short-period 7-second wave and only ordinary.
So, for the second week, don’t hold your breath. Long-range, nothing stands out – just a lot of onshore wind and small, weak waves.
Best bet: Wednesday the 8th of July afternoon for a glassy small-wave session, and Sunday the 12th of July all day for the best combination of size, clean conditions, and decent energy.
Rusty signing off.
