The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on this one. We've got a solid run of surf coming up at Vermelha do Centro, with a few mornings that are gonna be absolute magic and a couple of days where the ocean just says "not today." The water’s sitting at a nice 73°, which is a touch warmer than you'd expect for this time of year – a little gift from the ocean.
The pattern opens up nicely. Sunday the 9th is a write-off with cross-shore breeze and a messy, marginal 4ft swell. It's not worth paddling out for. We're looking at Monday the 10th as the first real standout of the week. The morning session is the one. Clean, glassy conditions, with a 5ft groundswell from the SSE and a proper 12-second period. The energy’s got some weight to it (655), so those waves will have some punch. It’s a consistent spot, so you won't be waiting around, but it can get a crowd on it, so get in early.
Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th see the swell build. Tuesday hits 6ft in the afternoon with a powerful 1143 energy reading, but the wind is cross-on, so it gets a bit lumpy. Wednesday morning cleans right up again – glassy with a 5ft SSE swell. That’s a great call for the intermediate crew.
The window from Thursday morning (13th) through to Saturday morning (15th) is where the real quality sits. We’ve got a run of mornings with glassy conditions and chest-to-head-high swell. Thursday afternoon is a real treat: a 3ft SSE swell but with a juicy 15-second period (632 energy) – those are long, drawn-out lines that’ll wall up nicely. Saturday the 15th is your pick of the week. A 5ft SSE groundswell (871 energy) with a 13-second period, under a clear sky and a light NNE breeze. It’ll be clean, powerful, and a hell of a lot of fun.
Now, a heads-up for the experts. Early Monday the 17th, the swell jumps to 8ft (1337 energy!) from the ESE. That’s a big, powerful wave, way too much for beginners and solidly in the "experts only" zone. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it won't be the cleanest shape you've ever seen, but if you've got the skill, there'll be some serious lumps to pull into. It’s a beach break, so this could easily turn into a kite-surfing show.
We drop off pretty hard after that. The end of the week into the weekend is a real bummer. From the 19th to the 24th, the swell fades and the wind goes onshore. There are a few fun-sized mornings on the 21st and 22nd with 4ft to 5ft swells and clean wind, but it’s a long way out and not as reliable as that early window. The last 4 days look poor. So, you want to be in the water between the 10th and the 17th, with Saturday the 15th taking the crown.
Rusty, signing off.
