The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour.
Straight up, the next two weeks at Tramandai Pier (Platforma) are a mixed bag. We’ve got some swell, but the wind’s gonna be a headache. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
Thursday, 23 July, kicks off with an 8ft SSE swell, but it’s short period (8 seconds) and the wind is cross-on from the SSE. The combined energy is a big 1627, but it’s messy. Not worth it. Friday, 24 July, is worse with a strong onshore ENE wind and dropping swell. Skip it.
Saturday, 25 July, morning shows some hope. A clean 5ft ESE swell with a light cross-off wind from the WSW. Combined energy is 469, and conditions are clean. It’s surfable. The afternoon gets a bit longer period (9 seconds) but the wind goes cross-shore, so it’s just okay.
Sunday, 26 July, afternoon is a beauty. Completely glassy, a 4ft ESE swell, 8-second period, and combined energy of 289. It’s small, but that glassy wind makes it a clean little wave. Good for a fun session.
Then we hit a flat spell from Monday, 27 July, through to Thursday, 30 July. Swell drops under 3ft, weak energy, and mostly onshore winds. A real dead patch.
Friday, 31 July, gets a bump but it’s ugly. Heavy rain, a fresh cross-wind, and a lumpy 6ft ENE swell with a short 6-second period. Combined energy is 316, but conditions are poor. Not for the faint-hearted.
The best on offer is in the first week of August. Saturday, 01 August, morning has a clean 6ft ENE swell with a light offshore wind from the W. Combined energy is 478, clean conditions. A decent option. But the real standout is Sunday, 02 August, morning: a 6ft S swell with an 11-second period, light cross-off wind from the SW, and combined energy of 946. That’s a proper groundswell, good shape, clean water. That’s your pick.
Monday, 03 August, keeps it going with a bigger 8ft SSE swell and a 13-second period. Combined energy is a massive 2089, with a clean cross-off wind. This is serious power. Over 8ft, so experts only. The long period (13 seconds) might make it a bit straight at the beach, but it’s still a big session.
Tuesday, 04 August, morning is a glassy dream: 5ft SE swell, 12-second period, light offshore wind, and combined energy of 1300. Conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That glassy wind will make it a clean, powerful wave. This is the other real standout.
After that, the swell fades into the second week, with a few bumpy days of ENE windswell and poor conditions. Nothing to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: the 26th July afternoon is a small, clean glassy session. The big standouts are Sunday, 02 August morning, and Tuesday, 04 August morning. Get on those.
Rusty.
