The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, checkin’ in from the coast. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Tramandai Pier (Platforma).
Right off the bat, the next few days are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some small clean windows mixed in with a lot of lumpy, blown-out junkyard conditions. The real standout is sitting way out there, about a week away, and it’s a big one.
Let’s start with what’s happening now. Sunday morning is actually a nice little surprise. The swell is a clean 4ft from the ENE, with a short 8-second period, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW at only 3 mph. That’s giving us clean, glassy lines at the pier. The combined energy is a moderate 213, and the water temp is about average for the time of year. It’s a proper little session if you can get out early. But, this spot is *inconsistent* and the crowds are *sometimes* a problem, so don’t be surprised if you’re sharing the takeoff zone.
Monday drops off hard. The swell gets tiny and the wind swings onshore, turning it into a complete mess. Tuesday morning brings a bit of life back. A 3ft swell from the S, with a longer 11-second period, and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the WSW at 9 mph. The wave energy is moderate at 347. It’s not epic, but it’s clean and rideable.
The middle of the week is a bit of a write-off with onshore winds and choppy conditions. Friday afternoon actually has some offshore wind from the W at 12 mph, but the swell is only 3ft and the period is short, so you’ll be fighting for scraps.
Now, the real deal. The best on offer is Sunday, August 9th, and Monday, August 10th.
Sunday morning the 9th is the pick of the earlier period. We’re looking at a solid 6ft swell from the S, with a 10-second period, whipped into shape by a clean offshore WNW wind at 9 mph. The combined energy jumps to a strong 629. This is a proper, powerful, clean swell. The water is still cool but average for the time of year. This is for the confident intermediate, not a beginner.
But the real standout, the one you wait for, is Monday morning, August 10th. The swell bumps up to a beefy 8ft from the S, with a long 12-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the W at 6 mph. The combined energy is a powerful 1514. This is excellent, powerful groundswell for experienced surfers only. The long period will make the waves at the pier and point break feel much bigger and more powerful. If you’re not comfortable in solid, overhead surf, give this a miss. The afternoon gets a bit lumpy, but the morning is a window of perfection.
After that, Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are still solid with 5ft to 6ft S swell, but the wind gets messy. Wednesday morning, the 12th, is a sleeper. A 5ft S swell with a 12-second period and a light cross-offshore N wind at 3 mph. The energy is still strong at 714, and the forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s a good call.
The week after that gets blown out by strong onshore winds and building, messy swell. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th see a big 10ft ENE swell, but it’s accompanied by howling 18 mph onshore winds and a short period. That’s a washing machine. For a beach/pier setup, that’s a kite-surfing day, not a paddle-surfing day.
So, to wrap it up: the next few days are a mix of tiny clean windows and blown-out junk. The real gold is Sunday, August 9th morning, and the absolute standout is Monday, August 10th morning for the experienced crew. The longer-range stuff for the second week looks too messy and too big for this break.
Rusty out.
