Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tramandai Pier (Platforma) over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the next couple of weeks for Tramandai Pier (Platforma). Bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a small window of clean surf if you time it right. The water’s sittin’ at a chilly 56°, which is a massive 7° colder than normal for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, so you’ll want a thick steamer and booties right now.
The best of the lot lands on Monday, 13 July. The morning’s lookin’ clean with a 5ft S swell and a short period of 7 seconds, but the real standout is the afternoon. That’s when we get 5ft S swell, still short-period, but the WSW to SSW wind goes cross-offshore, givin’ us clean, peelable faces. The wave energy is strong (537), so you’ll feel the push. This is the pick of the whole forecast – it’s not huge, but it’s quality.
Friday, 10 July morning is also a good call. The wind’s light WSW cross-off, groomin’ a 4ft ESE swell with a long 12-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy (320), and it’ll be clean. Keep in mind the long period might make it break a bit straight at the beach, but the pier should help focus it.
The weekend falls off. Saturday, 11 July is messy with onshore wind and rain, and Sunday, 12 July has cleaner cross-off wind but the swell’s droppin’ and the energy’s moderate. Not terrible, but not the best either.
Then we hit a dry spell. From Tuesday, 14 July right through to Friday, 24 July, it’s mostly poor surf conditions. The swell sticks around 2ft to 6ft, but the wind’s constantly cross or cross-on, easterly, and ripply. There’s a moment on Thursday, 16 July afternoon – dead calm glassy conditions with a 5ft ENE swell – but that’s about it. The energy’s moderate (302), so it’s worth a check if you’re desperate, but it’s not a standout.
It’s a blank run of over a week with no real recommendations. That’s a long gap. For a spot that’s inconsistent anyway, this kind of stretch is more normal than a surprise. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though – it tends not to stay poor forever.
Rusty.
