The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Balneario Novo Quintao (beach/pier). We’ve got a lot of flat, windy days to sit through before we see any real action, so don’t rush. The water temp is running pretty normal for the season.
The first week is rough. From Friday the 11th through Monday the 14th, it’s all onshore trash – rain, wind, and weak, disorganised little waves with combined energy reading between 103 and 402. Don’t even bother.
The first real look comes Tuesday morning the 15th. The swell drops right back to 3ft from the SSE with a clean 10-second interval. A light offshore breeze from the west keeps it glassy. The combined energy is moderate at 241. It’s small and clean, perfect for a beginner or a longboarder.
The standout session is Wednesday morning the 16th. You’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the SSE, period of 9 seconds, and a strong energy reading of 622. The wind is light and cross-off from the SSW, so it’ll be clean. This is your wave for a shortboard – punchy, clean, and decent size. The afternoon gets choppy.
Thursday the 17th is a mess with a fresh, lumpy cross-onshore wind, even with some longer 12-second groundswell at 5ft. Friday is marginal. Then we hit another quiet patch until Sunday the 20th afternoon – the wind swings offshore from the west at 15 mph, cleaning up a 4ft east swell with moderate energy (251). Fun little session.
Monday the 21st afternoon also looks tidy – light offshore, cross-off breeze, and a 5ft south swell with a short period. The energy is moderate at 365. Rippable.
Way out at the end, on Saturday the 26th morning, we’ve got a glassy forecast. Wind from the WNW at just 3 mph, and a 4ft SSE swell with a 10-second interval and moderate energy (395). It’s glassy and clean. A promising long-range look, but keep an eye on it.
So, the best of the best: Wednesday morning the 16th for power and Saturday morning the 26th for glassy conditions.
Rusty.
