The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what the next couple of weeks are throwing at us.
The big picture right now is a bit of a bummer. We’ve got some decent swell but the wind is just wrecking it through the end of August. The water is a chilly 61°F, which is about 5°F colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a thick suit.
The one day you really want to be on it is Monday morning, August 31st, at Valdovino. The wind goes completely glassy, dead calm, and we’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the NW with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a solid 725 (moderate). That’s a clean, fun wave for an intermediate surfer. The swell direction is right for the break, and with that glassy surface, it’s going to be perfect. Just know that it gets crowded here, so set your alarm.
The rest of the first week is mostly a washout with messy cross-shore and onshore winds. Thursday, September 4th morning has a 4ft NW groundswell with a long period of 14 seconds. The energy is there (702 – moderate), and the wind is cross-off, so it’s clean. It’s a marginal call, but it’s a lookable option if you’re keen.
Now, for the bigger swells, Saturday, September 5th morning pumps up to 6ft from the NW with a 13-second period. The combined energy hits 1534 (strong wave energy). That’s some serious power, and the wind is cross-off and clean. For the experienced crew, this one could be the best of the bunch, but it’s only a marginal forecast.
After that, the swell drops off and the second week is mostly flat or small with poor conditions. There’s a long dry spell from the 6th through the 12th. Friday, September 11th morning has a 5ft NNW swell, but the wind is onshore, so it’s a mess.
So, the smart money is on Monday morning, August 31st for the cleanest, glassiest conditions. If you want the biggest push, roll the dice on Saturday, September 5th. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for the next proper session.
Rusty.

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. If you surf the same spot (Valdovino) 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 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.
