Troia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this outlook for Troia is a bit of a tough one. Over the next 16 days, there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. The waves are small, the periods are short, and the quality is just not there. You’re looking at a long stretch of flat or close-to-flat conditions, with a few tiny bumps that won’t get your heart racing. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Thursday the 23rd of July, and even then, it’s pretty ordinary. There’s a gap of several days with no recommendations at the start, so don’t rush to wax your board just yet.

The water temp here is about average for the time of year, nothing wild to report.

If you’re desperate, Troia (Troia) on the morning of Thursday the 23rd of July might just give you a slide. You’ll see a small northwest swell pushing in at 3 ft, with a period of 6 seconds—that’s a short, weak windswell, not a proper groundswell. The combined energy is only 63, which is weak. The wind is from the NNW at 6 mph, cross-offshore, and the morning is clean. That’s the best you’ll get, but it’s still a “surfable but very ordinary” kind of day. The swell direction is northwest, which is close to the optimum SW for this spot, so it’s not a total mismatch. But honestly, it’s small, inconsistent, and likely to be crowded sometimes.

The rest of the window is a write-off. Most days are flat with zero energy, or have tiny waves under 2 ft with poor wind and chop. The afternoon of the 23rd gets a bit bigger at 4 ft, but that’s from the WNW with a cross-shore breeze and a cross-chop—messy. No standouts after that, just more flat spells and a few tiny pulses from the south with long periods (12-15 seconds) but no height to speak of, so they’ll barely break.

For beginners, there’s nothing here—even the 4 ft on the 23rd afternoon is too small to be fun, and the wind is onshore. Experts would be bored. Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, with the clean morning winds but no swell.

Keep your eyes on the forecast, but right now, I’d say take a week off. It tends not to stay poor for long, but this run is a real bummer.

Rusty.
