The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I've been staring at the charts for our local stretch. Let's be straight with you – it's a bit of a slow burner. We've got a decent-looking end to the month, but the next week and a half is going to test your patience.
We're looking at Valdovino, a spot that's fairly exposed to the swell. The water's sitting at 64°, which is about a degree and a half colder than what we'd usually expect for this time of year, so you'll want that 4/3.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Thursday, August 22nd. A real gem. The Saturday morning session is looking like a winner. We've got a tiny 3 ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is going to be dead calm – glassy. Combined energy is a weak 139, but with those clean conditions, it'll be a fun little longboard session. The best part? There's no crowd pressure to worry about.
Then, the following morning, Sunday, August 23rd, we get a similar story. Another 3 ft, this time from the WNW, but with a light offshore breeze from the SSW. It'll be clean and really tidy. It's not going to be big, but it'll be your best chance for a turn or two all week.
Now, hold on to your hats. The real standout, the one that's worth marking on your calendar, is Tuesday, August 25th. The morning session is looking like the pick of the whole 16-day window. We've got a solid 8 ft swell from the west, with a combined energy of 997. That's a serious amount of juice. But here's the kicker: that 8 ft is pushing the limits for most of us. This is definitely for the experienced crew only. The wind is clean and offshore from the SSW, so the waves will be holding up nicely. It's a big, powerful swell, but it could be a challenge.
A few days later, on Thursday, August 27th, the morning also looks promising. A 5 ft swell from the WNW with a clean offshore breeze. The energy is moderate at 355, and it's likely to be a much more manageable day for the intermediate surfer than what came before.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off, but the second week has a few windows of opportunity. The glassy morning of the 22nd, the clean 23rd, and the big, powerful morning of the 25th are the standouts. The 25th is the one to watch, but only if you've got the chops for it.
Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Valdovino Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Valdovino provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Valdovino can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Valdovino 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.

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 Valdovino 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.
