The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it, but don't get your hopes up. This is a grim one for Volta da Jurema.
We’re staring down a long, dry spell of poor surf. Right from Tuesday, August 4th, it starts off tiny, with a 1ft swell from the NE that’s got almost no energy behind it. You’d be wasting your time.
Through that first week and into the next, the swell does pick up to around 5ft, but it’s all junky east windswell with a short period. The energy gets moderate, but the problem is the wind. It’s blowing 16-19 mph from the east and southeast every single day, cross-off or cross, which completely kills the wave quality. Every session is a zero rating.
There’s a huge gap here where there’s just nothing to recommend. For days on end, it’s flat or blown out. The water temp is about normal for the season.
The only sliver of hope is on Sunday, August 16th. The swell sits around 5ft from the east with a 7-second period, and the energy hits 261. The wind is still cross-off at 13 mph, but the forecast finally says “marginal.” That’s about it. For a beginner reef, 5ft gets a bit grunty, and with the constant side wind, it’ll be a messy closeout. Frankly, for most of this run, it’s better set up for a kite than a surfboard.
It’s a tough stretch. Forecasts can flip, but right now, it’s a blank.
