The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next sixteen days along this stretch. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, with a long, quiet patch in the middle, but there are a couple of moments that could be worth the wait.

The forecast kicks off on Wednesday the 12th but it’s not much to write home about. We’ve got a solid 6 ft swell from the SSE with a 12-second period, pushing a moderate amount of energy (911), but the wind is a cross-on breeze from the NE at 15 mph, making it choppy and messy. Thursday and Friday don’t look any better, with onshore winds and rain spoiling the party. The wave energy builds into the 1300-1400 range, but the cross-onshore wind just trashes it.

Saturday the 15th through Sunday the 16th sees the swell pick up to 7 ft-8 ft, but it’s a short-period, wind-affected east swell (8 seconds). The wind is cross-on and strong, so it’s just a lumpy, blown-out mess. The wave energy drops to around 800-1000, but it’s not worth suiting up for.

Monday the 17th is a weird one. The morning sees a solid 10 ft swell from the ENE, with a bit more period (9 seconds) and strong energy (1416). The wind is cross-on at 12 mph, and the forecast notes it’s predicted to be too big for this break. That’s a pass for most of us. The afternoon drops to 8 ft but the wind eases. Still, it’s marginal.

Then we hit a dry spell. From Tuesday the 18th right through to Sunday the 23rd, the swell drops and the conditions are poor. There’s a brief window on the 18th morning with a 5 ft swell from the ENE and a light SW wind, but it’s still marginal. From the 19th to the 23rd, the swell is tiny, the wind is all over the place, and the wave energy bottoms out to 80-95. It’s a real lull of about 5-6 days with nothing worth paddling out for.

The Standout

The one that catches my eye is Tuesday the 25th of August. *Tramandai Pier (Platforma)* is the spot. The swell is a proper 7 ft from the SSE with a solid 12-second period, pushing a healthy 1231 energy units. The wind is offshore from the west at 12 mph, and the description says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." That’s a clear winner. The offshore wind will keep it clean, and the SSE direction lines up well with the optimum. This is a solid, powerful groundswell – it’s going to have some punch, so it’s for the experienced crew only. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thick suit.

The days leading up to it, the 20th and 21st, have some clean conditions with a 5 ft S swell and offshore winds, but the wave energy is much lower (697-763), so it’s a smaller, cleaner option for those who can’t wait. The 25th is the real deal though.

The 22nd is a small, clean 3 ft day, but it’s tiny. The 26th and 27th see a return of some 7 ft east swell, but the wind is mixed, and it’s not as clean.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off, and there’s a dead zone in the middle of the period. The one clear standout is Tuesday the 25th – a proper, clean, offshore swell that’s worth marking on the calendar. Keep an eye on the long-range for that one.

Rusty.
