Balneario Novo Quintao Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Balneario Novo Quintao over the next couple of weeks. The long-range picture starts off flat or poor, but there's a few windows where it'll clean up nicely.

Right off the bat, the first surfable day is Saturday the 29th, but it's not much to write home about. The morning is a write-off with poor conditions, but the afternoon turns glassy with a slight NNE breeze. You'll find small 3ft waves from the ENE at a short 8 seconds, with weak to moderate energy (147). The water here is sitting at 59°, which is a bit colder than what you'd normally expect for this time of year.

Sunday the 30th through Tuesday the 3rd of September is a bit of a mixed bag. The wind gets messy, especially on Sunday and Monday with strong onshore winds and choppy conditions. The swell builds, hitting 6ft on Monday afternoon from the east with moderate energy (489), but it's all blown out. On Tuesday afternoon, a solid 10ft SSE swell arrives with strong energy (1368), but that's only for experts, and it's still a bit onshore-choppy for good paddle surfing; honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Now, the real standout comes on Wednesday the 2nd of September. Wednesday morning is where you want to be. We've got clean 6ft swell from the SE with a 9-second period (600 energy) and a light offshore WSW breeze. The conditions are set to be very good, with clean waves. That's the pick of the bunch early on. The crowds are known to show up here sometimes, so keep that in mind.

Thursday the 3rd has decent clean 4ft waves from the ESE in the morning, and Sunday the 6th of September sees a strong SSW swell fill in with 6ft waves and strong offshore winds in the morning, but it's a bit of a battle to paddle into. Still, it's clean.

The next clear standout is Monday the 7th of September. Again, a morning shift with 6ft SSE swell (603 energy), a 10-second period, and a moderate offshore WSW wind. It's clean and the forecast expects very good surf. This is another solid option.

After that, things drop off again through the middle of September with onshore winds and lumpy conditions. There's a little tease on Thursday the 10th with glassy conditions and a 5ft easterly swell in the morning, but it's small and short period. From the 11th onwards, it’s mostly poor, with onshore winds and lumpy 5ft to 6ft ENE swells.

Overall, make your move on Wednesday the 2nd of September morning at Balneario Novo Quintao. If you miss that, Monday the 7th morning is your next best bet.

Rusty.
