The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for this stretch of coast.
We're looking at a pretty quiet start, honestly. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, with small, weak swell and messy winds. The real action doesn't fire up until the end of the first week and into the second.
The standout window is definitely the Saturday, the 5th of September. That morning, we are looking at a solid 6 ft groundswell from the NW with a very long 14-second period. The energy is massive, with a combined swell energy reading of 1150 (strong). The wind is offshore, ENE, keeping it clean. This is proper, powerful stuff. The wave comment says "marginal," but that's the tide factor, I reckon; for a capable surfer, this is the best bet on the whole forecast. The afternoon wind picks up a bit, but the morning session is the one.
Before that, we have a bit of a building phase. The Monday morning (31st August) sees a 7 ft NW swell, but the wind is cross-shore, and the water is feeling much colder than normal for this time of year (62°F, a -4°F anomaly). It's a bit of a raw, chunky session.
After that big Saturday, we get a few more clean days. The Sunday the 6th of September has a smaller, cleaner 4 ft NW swell in the morning, and the 7th of September Monday morning has a solid 4 ft swell from the W with a 13-second period and clean offshore winds, energy at 600. That's a very nice, long-period groundswell.
Further out, the Saturday the 12th of September morning is a real gem for the smaller wave crew. Glassy conditions, 6 ft from the W, with a clean, calm wind. It's a bit of a sleeper pick. Then the Monday the 14th of September morning also has that glassy feel with a consistent 3 ft W swell, and the 15th of September Tuesday morning is clean with a 3 ft W swell, 12-second period, and offshore wind, packing moderate energy at 503. That's a very clean, long-period groundswell on offer.
The consistent spot here is Valdovino. It's fairly exposed, and the quality of the swell is there if you pick your windows. For this forecast, the absolute winner is the 5th of September. The energy is there, the direction is right, and the wind is clean. Get on it.
Rusty out.

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.
