Tramandai Pier (Platforma) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Tramandai Pier over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but we’ve got a couple of windows that are worth getting excited about.

Right now, things are pretty flat and underwhelming. The first few days of the outlook are looking weak, with small, messy swell and poor conditions. The water temp is sitting at 62°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year at Tramandai Pier (Platforma). Nothing to get the heart racing just yet.

The first real sign of life shows up on the morning of Wednesday the 9th. It’s only small, around 3 ft from the SSE, but the wind is glassy, and the combined energy is still modest (342). It’s a clean, glassy start, but the swell is tiny and the spot is inconsistent, so it’s more of a chance to get wet than a proper session.

Things start to get interesting on the morning of Friday the 11th. The swell picks up to 4 ft from the ENE, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s not going to have much grunt. The real highlight here is the afternoon, with another 4 ft ENE swell, glassy conditions, and light NW wind. It’s small, but clean.

The first standout arrives on the morning of Saturday the 12th. Swell jumps to 8 ft from the SSE, with a decent 9-second period and a cross-offshore wind from the SW. The combined energy reads 844, which is moderate to strong. This is a solid, powerful swell for intermediate surfers, but at 8 ft, it’s getting into the territory where beginners might find it challenging. The morning session is the call here.

The morning of Sunday the 13th is another highlight. Swell holds at 5 ft from the S, with a 9-second period and a light SW cross-offshore wind. Clean conditions and a combined energy of 612. It’s a good, clean wave, and the wind is just right. This is probably the best of the first week.

Now, the real gem for experienced surfers is the morning of Tuesday the 15th. We’ve got a 7 ft swell from the ENE, an 8-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the W. The combined energy is a powerful 1097, which is strong. This is proper, punchy surf, but it’s only for the experienced crew. Beginners should stay out of the water on this one.

Looking further out, the morning of Saturday the 19th sees a tiny 4 ft ENE swell with glassy conditions and no wind. It’s small, but clean. The last real standout is the morning of Monday the 21st. Swell jumps to 8 ft from the ENE, with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 1159. That’s a lot of power. However, the wind is cross-shore from the NE, creating some chop. This one is for experts only, and it’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it.

The morning of Tuesday the 22nd also looks promising, with a 5 ft ESE swell, glassy conditions, and zero wind. Clean and small, but a nice way to end the outlook.

Overall, the best bets are the morning of Sunday the 13th for the clean, solid S swell, and the morning of Tuesday the 15th for the powerful, offshore ENE swell. The 21st is a monster but a long way off and a bit choppy. Keep your eyes on the forecasts.

Rusty.
