The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming.
We’ve got a quiet start, but a solid south swell builds through the middle of the week. The standout is Wednesday morning, August 26th, when a solid 6ft SSE groundswell arrives with a long 16-second period. The combined energy hits 1547 (moderate to strong), and with glassy, offshore conditions, this is the best session on offer. This is for experienced surfers only – the size and power will be too much for beginners. That long period means clean, well-shaped waves and longer waits between sets.
Vermelha do Centro is the spot. That Wednesday morning (August 26th) is the pick. Clean, glassy conditions, wind from the E at 3 mph, and the swell coming from the SSE at 6ft. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Crowds are sometimes an issue, so it might get a bit busy, but the quality will be worth it.
Thursday morning, August 27th, is also a strong option. The swell drops to 5ft from the SSE, still a nice 14-second period, and we get a clean offshore wind from the NNW at 6 mph (energy at 1047). That’s another excellent session for the experienced crowd. The afternoon cleans up further with glassy conditions and 4ft SSE swell – a great way to finish the day.
The following week the swell fades. From August 28th onward, the waves get smaller and the period drops to around 8 seconds. Nothing worth chasing until September 2nd, when a small but clean 4ft ESE groundswell slides in under glassy conditions (energy at 544). That’s a good morning for a longboard, but it’s not the power of the previous week.
The first half of this outlook is the real deal. Don’t miss Wednesday the 26th – that’s the one.
Rusty.
