The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. I’m Rusty, and I’ve been through the numbers for our local break. The outlook is grim. We’re looking at a solid 16-day stretch with barely a ripple worth getting out of bed for. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is a constant cross-off mess. It’s a waiting game, with no real reward at the end.
The first sniff of anything rideable is Thursday morning, July 30th. The swell bumps to 5ft from the east, but with a period of only 6 seconds, it’s weak and won’t hold a face. The combined energy is 219 (moderate), which is the highlight of the whole period. The wind is a cross-off from the southeast at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean, but the waves are just marginal. This is the best we’ve got, and it’s not good.
Sunday morning, August 2nd, the swell is back to 5ft from the east-northeast, period still a short 8 seconds. Energy is 232 (moderate) and the wind is cross-off from the south-southeast at 16 mph. Clean again, but the quality is poor.
The only spot to talk about is Volta da Jurema (reef). It’s a beginner-friendly reef break, very consistent, and exposed to the north swell. The water temp is about average for the season. The crowd is listed as ‘sometimes’, so you might see a few others, but it won’t be packed.
Bottom line: there’s no good surf. The entire 16-day window is a bust. The swell is too small, the period is too short, and the wind is never right. It’s a flat spell, and for this area, that’s more normal than not. Forecasts can change, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
