The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, looking at the local surf scene for Tramandai Pier (Platforma). This spot is a beach/pier setup, so it’s exposed and can handle a bit of swell, but it’s inconsistent, so we gotta take what we can get. The water’s sitting at 58°F, which is 4°F colder than normal for this time of year—that’s a noticeable chill, so you’ll want a good steamer.
We’re in a bit of a flat spell to start, with the first real recommendation kicking off on Tuesday, 21 July. The morning and afternoon both see a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the WSW at 9 mph, with swell around 5 ft from the ENE and S, respectively. It’s not big, but the wind is making it look tidy. The combined energy is moderate (455 and 478), so it’s a fun, small-wave session for intermediates.
The standout window is looking like Sunday, 26 July. The morning is the pick of the whole period: light rain, a near-calm wind from the NNW at 3 mph, and a clean cross-offshore breeze. Swell is 5 ft from the S with a period of 12 seconds—that’s a proper groundswell, giving you some grunt and longer waits between sets. Combined energy is strong (894). It’s a bit over 5 ft, so it’s not for beginners, but for intermediates and up, this is the one to circle. The afternoon is also clean with a cross-offshore SW wind, same swell size, but that energy jumps to 1146—very strong stuff. The wind picks up to 12 mph, but it’s still offshore, so it’s manageable.
Monday, 27 July, keeps the run going with a morning of clean, cross-offshore SW wind at 9 mph and 5 ft swell from the SSE at 12 seconds. Energy is strong (1032). Again, good for intermediates, a bit much for learners.
The week before that, from Friday, 17 July, through to Monday, 20 July, is a write-off—cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, choppy conditions, and the waves are marginal. The 23rd and 24th have some clean windows, but the swell is small (4 ft to 4 ft) and short period, so it’s a bit of a struggle.
Into the second week, things get more uncertain. Tuesday, 28 July, afternoon sees glassy conditions with a 0 mph wind, and 5 ft swell from the E at 7 seconds—short period, so it’ll be a bit soft, but glassy is glassy. Combined energy is moderate (435). Then Wednesday, 29 July, afternoon has a light cross-shore SSW wind and 6 ft swell from the SSW at 8 seconds—moderate energy (718), but the period is short, so expect lumpy, close-out sets. Thursday, 30 July, is a mess with onshore winds and choppy conditions. Friday, 31 July, is poor. Then Saturday, 1 August, morning has a clean cross-offshore WSW wind at 9 mph, with 5 ft from the ENE at 8 seconds—not amazing, but a squeaky-clean session for a grovel.
Overall, the best on offer is Sunday, 26 July, morning at Tramandai Pier. The swell is a solid 5 ft from the S, the wind is near-calm and offshore, and the energy is pumping. It’s a proper standout.
Rusty.
