The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s break down what’s happening at Balneario Novo Quintao.
The first few days are a tough go. Lots of cross-onshore breeze and lumpy conditions, not much to get excited about. The water’s a bit cooler than usual, running about 59°, so you’ll want some rubber.
Your best window is Sunday, August 23rd. That morning you’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the SSE, with a long 11-second period. The wind is offshore from the WSW, and the energy is sitting at 673 (moderate). It’s a beach/pier break, so that long period might make it a bit straight, but the clean conditions make it the pick of the bunch.
Then Monday, August 24th is another strong one. Morning offshore wind (WSW at 6 mph), clean lines, and a 6ft SSE swell. The period is 11 seconds, and the energy is up to 834 (moderate). It’s a bit bigger, but it’s a solid call.
After that, the wind turns back onshore for a few days, but keep an eye on Saturday, August 29th. The afternoon looks glassy, with a 4ft ENE swell, a 10-second period, and strong energy (794). That’s a long way off, so don’t book your flights yet, but it’s worth watching.
If you can hold out, the 23rd and 24th are the clear winners. The rest is mostly a waiting game.
Rusty, out.
