The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Vermelha do Centro. The week kicks off with a real gem on Wednesday morning, 15 July. Conditions are absolutely mint – crystal clear skies, a glassy 3 mph breeze from the NE, and a clean 5ft swell out of the SE. That’s a groundswell with a nice 10-second period, packing moderate energy (504). This is the standout of the whole period. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no need to dig out the 5/4 just yet. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
The swell stays around 3ft to 5ft through the rest of the week, but the wind gets a bit tricky. Thursday morning, 16 July, is another glassy session – 4ft SE swell with absolute calm, 0 mph wind. That’s a very clean, fun wave for beginners. The ESE swell on Friday and Saturday mornings is a bit smaller at 3ft to 4ft, but NW offshore winds keep it clean. The energy drops into the weak range (226-235) by Friday, so it’s more of a cruiser board day.
There’s a gap from Sunday, 19 July, through to Tuesday, 21 July, where the surf is small and ordinary – around 3ft – with cross-shore winds and poor conditions. I wouldn’t bother paddling out those afternoons. The energy is weak (115-152), and it’s just not worth the effort.
We get a little bump again on Wednesday morning, 22 July, with a glassy 3ft E swell, but it’s tiny. Then another gap of poor conditions until Saturday, 25 July, where the swell picks up but the wind is crap – cross-on and onshore, with rain in the mix. Not good.
Then, right at the end of the month, we get another promising window. Tuesday morning, 28 July, brings a glassy 4ft ESE swell with 3 mph ENE wind. That’s clean and fun. But the real highlight of the second week is Wednesday morning, 29 July. Absolutely flat calm, 0 mph wind, and a 5ft E swell. That’s beginner-friendly, glassy, and the energy is moderate (467). A perfect morning session on the cards.
Overall, the best bet is Wednesday morning, 15 July, with Wednesday morning, 29 July, as a very promising runner-up.
Rusty.
