The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what Balneario Novo Quintao has got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the start of the run is pretty flat and frustrating. Tuesday the 21st through Wednesday the 22nd are surfable, but it’s just small, weak stuff with onshore wind, really nothing to get excited about. You're looking at knee-high waves at best with a weak (184) energy reading, and the water temp is sitting right on average for this time of year at 62°. Not exactly firing.
Then things take a turn for the messy. From Thursday the 23rd right through to the start of August, it's a long stretch of poor conditions. We get a spike in swell on the 23rd with a big jump in energy (1165), but it's accompanied by strong cross-onshore winds. That’s a choppy, blown-out mess, more suited to kites than paddles. Then strong onshores and cross-shore winds just ruin the shape for days. There’s a little window on Saturday the 25th afternoon where the wind goes offshore, but with a small 4.3ft swell at 8 seconds, it’s not gonna be anything special. Still, it’s the cleanest you’ll see in that first week.
Now, if you can wait, there’s actually a real standout at the very end of the run. Look at Wednesday the 5th of August. We’ve got a small but clean 3.6ft swell from the SE, with a 9-second period that’ll give it a bit of push. But the real magic is the wind: Wednesday morning is glassy, and Wednesday afternoon is offshore from the WNW. That’s a gorgeous, clean combo for a beach break like this. The energy reading (428) is moderate but it’s the cleanest, prettiest forecast in the whole outlook. It's a good day for a longboard or a fish, just you and the ocean. That’s the one to wait for.
Other than that, keep an eye on things blowing out. With a bay like this, a bit of consistency in the wind and we could be okay, but right now it’s a long, patchy run.
