The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on Balneario Novo Quintao for the next couple of weeks in feet and miles per hour. It's a slow burner, so don't rush out there yet.
The first few days are pretty flat and funky. Friday the 4th has ankle-slapping 2ft swell from the SE with weak energy (86) and cross-shore winds. Saturday the 5th isn't any better – forget it. The water temp is 61°F, right around the seasonal average, but that's the only thing normal about it.
Sunday the 6th we see a jump to about 6ft, but with a fresh 19 mph cross-offshore wind and moderate energy (654), it's too lumpy to enjoy.
Monday morning the 7th is your first real chance. Glassy conditions with a light 3 mph wind out of the NNW, running into a clean 4ft SSE swell with a 9-second period. Energy is moderate (292) and the crowds are only "sometimes" a problem. It's going to be clean and
The next few days into Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th offer a bit. Wednesday morning the 9th has a clean 4ft ENE swell with a gentle cross-offshore breeze – nothing epic, but rideable for a fun intermediate session.
Then we hit a long, dry gap from Thursday the 10th through Monday the 14th. The swell drops, the wind turns onshore, and it's a big, fat nothing for paddle surfing. If you're into kiting, there's some solid wind Wednesday the 11th with 35 mph cross-onshore and 7ft swell, but for a surfboard? Nope.
Alright, the one to really wait for. The weekend of September 12th and 13th is the payoff.
Saturday afternoon the 12th brings a clean offshore wind at 19 mph from the WSW, with a serious 8ft SSE swell. The combined energy is a strong 1284. That's expert territory at 8ft.
But Sunday the 13th is the absolute winner. Both morning and afternoon pump with 8ft to 8ft SE/ESE groundswell. The period is a nice 11 seconds and the wind is a consistent moderate offshore out of the W and WSW. The combined energy numbers are massive – 1528 and 1501. The swell is coming from the SSE, which is perfect for this break. This is excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers only. The long period means the sets will be spaced out, making the paddle out a little less of a battle. This is the day to circle on the calendar, even if it is a bit far out.
After that, it fades. Tuesday the 15th onward is mostly small and choppy with onshore winds. There's a brief clean-up on Thursday the 17th with a 3ft ESE swell and light winds, but it's nothing to write home about.
So, the verdict: don't bother with the first week. Your best bet, by a long shot, is that Sunday the 13th. It's the highlight of the whole run, but keep an eye on the forecast as it gets closer. Stay salty.
Rusty.
