Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour now.
Vermelha do Centro is our only show for the next couple of weeks. Water temp is about normal for this time of year – nothing crazy.
Starting Sunday morning: waves around 5ft from the south, period 12 seconds, moderate energy (650). Cross-shore breeze, not ideal. But Sunday afternoon is the real winner: same 5ft south swell, glassy wind, expect very good surf. Clean, fun, no chop. That’s your session.
Monday morning (6 July) drops to about 4ft, still south, glassy, 11-second period. Good quality, clean conditions for a longboard or a groveler.
Tuesday morning (7 July) holds 4ft from the south-southeast, glassy, period 10 seconds – decent energy (340). Worth a go.
From the 8th through the 11th, the swell shrinks below 3ft and the energy is weak. Nothing to write home about.
Sunday morning (12 July) brings a new pulse: 3ft south-southeast swell, glassy, period jumps to 13 seconds, energy strong (554). That’s a clean, longer-period swell – better shape, more power between lulls. Mark that one.
Saturday morning (18 July) shows 3ft south swell, 13 seconds, glassy, solid energy. Then Monday morning (20 July) looks like the best of the late run: 3ft south-southeast, 15-second period, glassy, and a big energy reading of 821. That’s a long-period groundswell – beautiful, clean, and powerful for the size. Best on a point or reef.
Beginner-friendly sizes all the way – nothing over 5ft, so it’s safe for all levels. Crowds can be heavy here at times, so hit those early glassy windows.
Stay stoked, Rusty.
