The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Well, it’s a bit of a quiet start for the next few days at Tramandai Pier (Platforma). The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until Saturday afternoon, so there’s a pretty long gap of nothing surfable from now until then. After that, we’ve got a run of mostly poor conditions, but there’s a couple of standout windows late in the second week that are worth circling on the calendar.
Saturday the 1st of August afternoon, there’s a bit of life with a 7ft swell coming out of the ENE with a short period of 8 seconds. Combined energy is moderate at 580, but the wind is a light cross-shore from the S, so it’s messy with a cross-chop. The water’s sitting at a normal 62°F for this time of year. It’s really just a marginal session, not something to get excited about.
We then hit a dry spell with nothing worthwhile until the morning of Friday the 7th of August. That morning, we get a glassy session with zero wind from the NW and a 5ft swell from the ENE. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s a bit weak in shape, but the glassy conditions make it clean. Combined energy is moderate at 314. Best for intermediate crew looking for a fun, small wave.
Then on Saturday the 8th of August morning, a light WSW cross-offshore breeze of 9 mph cleans up a 3ft SSE swell with a 11-second period. Combined energy is moderate at 207. It’s not huge but clean, and crowds are possible here sometimes.
Now for the real standout: the morning of Monday the 10th of August sees a solid 5ft swell from the SSE with a long 14-second period. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SW at 12 mph. Combined energy jumps up to 1429 – that’s strong wave energy. It’s a high-quality, clean session but check your tides because there’s a marginal rating. This one’s for experienced surfers as the energy is proper.
The real gem is Tuesday the 11th of August morning. That’s where it’s at. We’ve got a clean cross-offshore breeze from the WSW at 6 mph, with a 5ft swell from the SSE and a very long 14-second period. Combined energy is huge at 1718, meaning strong wave energy. The break quality is rated excellent for experienced surfers. This is a boss session – long-period groundswell on a pier setup means nice lines, longer gaps between sets, and easy paddling. Stay sharp if you’re not expert, because that power is real.
After that, conditions fade again into poor surf for the rest of the outlook.
Signing off, Rusty.
