The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Vermelha do Centro.
Right now, the surf is a bit of a bust. Sunday, the 6th of September is a total no-go. You’ve got a 7ft swell from the S, but the wind is a cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The wave energy is moderate at 749, but it’s not worth paddling out for. The start of the outlook is a dead loss.
Monday, the 7th of September, is where things turn around. The morning is looking like the first real standout. We’ve got a 6ft southerly swell, with glassy, calm conditions. The wind is offshore from the WNW, dead flat, so it’s going to be clean. This is a beginner-friendly break, and with a 10-second period, it’s got some decent shape. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. This is your best bet for the early part of the week.
Tuesday, the 8th of September, is another good day. The morning offers a 3ft S swell with a long 11-second period, and again, glassy conditions. The combined energy is moderate (500). It’s a bit smaller, but the quality is there. The afternoon wave drops to 3ft.
Wednesday, the 9th, sees a bit of a drop in size, with 4ft ESE swell on the morning, but the wind is glassy, so it’s still fun.
Thursday, the 10th, is marginal. A 3ft swell with a very long 13-second period from the SSE in the afternoon will be glassy, but the size is small. The morning is a cross-shore wind, so not as clean.
The run from Friday, the 11th, through to Saturday, the 12th, is small and weak. By Saturday, the swell drops to 1ft and the energy is very low at 64-80. The wind is offshore, but it’s just not enough to get excited about.
Now, we have a gap of poor conditions on Sunday, the 13th, before the next proper standout. Keep your eyes on Monday, the 14th of September. The morning has a 5ft SSE swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy – calm. The wave energy is strong at 630. The afternoon gets bigger, with a 6ft SSE swell and a 12-second period, but the wind turns cross-onshore, which will muss it up a bit. The morning is the pick.
Tuesday, the 15th, is back to glassy in the morning with a 4ft SE swell, and very good conditions. The afternoon gets a cross-onshore breeze.
The following week from Wednesday, the 16th, onwards is a mixed bag, mostly small, and the energy is moderate. There’s a promising morning on Saturday, the 19th, with a 3ft S swell, a 13-second period, and glassy conditions – the energy is strong at 721, so it’s a solid option for the second week, but it’s a long way out.
The consistent fact here is that the offshore and glassy winds are a real treat at this spot. When it’s on, it’s clean. For the best of the best, target the mornings of Monday, the 7th, and Monday, the 14th. The 7th is a sure thing, the 14th is promising but less certain.
Rusty.
