The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Tramandai Pier (Platforma) over the next couple of weeks.
Straight off the bat, it’s a slow start. We’re looking at a few days of pretty ordinary, marginal conditions from Monday the 20th right through Wednesday the 23rd. The swell is running around 3 ft to 5 ft but it’s short period, mostly under 9 seconds, and the wind is either cross or cross-on, keeping things lumpy and uninviting. The energy in the water is moderate at best, with readings around 240 to 381 (combined energy). Honestly, not a lot to get excited about.
Things start to get interesting on Thursday the 23rd. The swell bumps up to 7 ft from the SSE, but the wind turns cross-on from the SSE, which makes it a bit messy. Still, the energy jumps to 772 (moderate), so there’s some push. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are write-offs with strong onshore winds and choppy, poor surf. The swell gets up to 7 ft but it’s ugly.
Now, here’s the standout. Sunday the 26th of July is the session to circle. The morning brings a 6 ft swell from the east, with a light offshore wind from the SW. That’s clean, glassy conditions. The combined energy hits 1073 (strong), which is the biggest push of the whole outlook. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, but with that offshore wind and clean faces, Tramandai Pier should be offering up some punchy, hollow waves. This is for experienced surfers – 6 ft is solid, and the pier can get tricky. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
Monday the 27th drops off a bit, with 6 ft to 6 ft but cross-on winds and a moderate breeze making it choppy. Tuesday the 28th is poor with strong NE winds, and the rest of the week into early August is a mix of small, weak swells and onshore wind. There’s a little flicker on the 1st of August with a clean offshore wind from the WNW, but the swell is tiny at 2 ft to 3 ft, and the energy is weak (215). Not worth paddling out for.
The best on offer is undoubtedly Sunday the 26th of July, morning session. That’s the one.
Water temperature is about average for this time of year, no big anomalies to report.
Rusty, signing off.
