The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Balneario Novo Quintao. The surf over the next couple weeks is a bit of a rollercoaster. We’ve got a clean start, then it gets blown out, then a few more fun windows early in September. Water temp is about 62°, which is normal for the season.
The real standout is Sunday morning, August 23rd. You’ve got a clean 6ft SSE swell with a 12-second period, light offshore wind from the west, and the water is glassy. Energy is good at 977. This is a proper session.
Monday morning, August 24th is another top pick. The swell comes up to 7ft from the SSE, period stretches to 14 seconds, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SW. Energy jumps to 1750. It’s a bit bigger, so better for surfers who know what they’re doing, but the conditions are excellent.
Things go downhill from Tuesday afternoon through the end of the month with strong onshore winds and choppy, lumpy conditions. There’s a small window on Saturday morning, August 29th, with a clean 4ft east swell and light cross-offshore wind, but it’s small and inconsistent.
Into September, Tuesday afternoon, September 1st, brings a big 12ft swell from the south with 11-second period, clean and cross-offshore. That’s a heavy one, only for experienced surfers, with massive energy (4165). Then Wednesday morning, September 2nd, is a beauty: 7ft SSE swell, 10-second period, and glassy with a light offshore WSW breeze. The energy is still strong at 937.
After that, the wind turns onshore again and the quality drops. The last good look is Sunday morning, September 6th, with a 5ft ENE swell, but it’s dead calm – glassy conditions. A fun little session for a small board.
This is a beach and pier setup, and it’s inconsistent. When the wind is on it, you’re better off kiting. The good windows are short, so don’t hesitate when you see a clean one.
