The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, running through what’s on the cards for Balneario Novo Quintao. Water temp is about 60°F, nothing unusual for the season.
First up, the early part of the week is pretty flat and blown out. A few days of nothing worth chasing, with cross-onshore winds and junk. The first real chance comes in on Saturday.
Saturday, August 22nd kicks off with a moderate offshore breeze from the WSW, and a 5ft swell from the S. Wave energy is moderate (454). It’s clean and rideable, good for a session. The afternoon holds a 5ft swell from the SSE with offshore winds, so the whole day is promising.
Sunday, August 23rd is a step up. The morning has a 6ft swell from the SSE, with a 12-second groundswell period and clean offshore wind from the W. Wave energy is moderate (1010). This is proper surf for the experienced crew. The afternoon gets bigger at 7ft, but the wind goes cross-off, and the energy is strong (1497). It’s still excellent, just a bit more demanding.
Monday, August 24th is the best of the bunch. The morning goes glassy with a light SW wind, and a 7ft swell from the SSE at a very long 14-second period. Wave energy is strong (1887). This is the pick – clean, powerful, long-period groundswell that’ll have proper shape. The afternoon drops to 7ft and gets cross-on, so the morning is your window.
From Tuesday, August 25th it’s back to onshore winds and choppy conditions through the end of the month. There’s a small window on Sunday, August 30th afternoon with a 3ft swell from the E going glassy, but it’s small. Then Thursday, September 3rd morning throws up a big 10ft swell from the SSW, but with a short period and cross-shore wind, it’s messy and for experts only.
The standout is Monday, August 24th morning – get it while it’s clean.
Rusty.
