The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: this 16-day stretch for Urirama is about as quiet as it gets. We've drawn the short straw. There are no good surf options on the table right now, and the outlook is a long, flat run. The first few days of the period – starting Monday the 17th of August – offer tiny, weak junk. Swell heights barely scrape 0.7 ft with a combined energy of just 11 (11), coming from the NNE with a period around 10-11 seconds. That groundswell period suggests a little shape in the water, but it's getting smashed by a stiff cross-onshore breeze from the E at 22 mph. The water temp is sitting at 82.4°, which is pretty average for the time of year here, but that's small consolation when you're looking at a flat, bumpy ocean.
For the next week and a half, from the 19th of August right through to the 28th of August, we have a massive dead zone. Combined energy values are zero. There's literally no swell showing up. A persistent, strong cross-onshore wind from the E and ENE at 19-28 mph just churns the surface into a messy lump. This is a classic example of why this area can go blank for a stretch; it's not unusual to have these quiet runs. The water is too messy and weak for a proper paddle, and with that constant wind and no real swell, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than for a paddle surfer.
Finally, on the 29th of August, we see a slight flicker of life. Saturday afternoon offers the high point of the entire forecast: a 1.0 ft swell from the NNE at a short period of 9 seconds (combined energy of 15 (15)). But don't get excited – that tiny bump is still under a fresh cross-onshore breeze at 22 mph from the ENE. It's poor surf conditions and always will be at this size and wind direction. That tiny bump fades again through the 30th and 31st before we drop back to zero at the start of September. There are no standouts here, no hidden gems. It's a full skip. A blank run like this is typical for the area when the winds set in. Forecasts can change, but for now, give the board a well-deserved rest.

Information about the Urirama Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Urirama provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Urirama can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Urirama surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Urirama) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Urirama may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
