The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Balneario Sao Jose.

The start is a waiting game. The water’s sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing wild, just a little extra warmth.

The first real opportunity is on Thursday, August 13th. The morning session looks sweet with a clean 4ft swell from the south and glassy conditions – dead calm, no wind. The combined energy is moderate (683). It’s not a big wave, but it’s clean and fun. Later that day, the swell pushes to 5ft from the south with a very long period of 15 seconds and offshore wind. That’s proper groundswell energy (1028), but that long period might make it a bit straight-running on the beach. Still, it’s the best of the week.

Friday morning, August 14th, also offers clean glass, 4ft from the south (582 energy). Perfect for a smooth session. Saturday morning, August 15th, brings a clean 4ft with cross-offshore winds, so you’ll get some nice little walls.

After that, the swell drops out. From the 16th through the morning of the 24th, it’s a long quiet stretch. A few glassy mornings pop up, but the swell is mostly under 3ft and the energy readings are weak. Not much to write home about.

Then, on Tuesday, August 25th, we get a late punch. The morning shows a solid 6ft from the southeast, glassy conditions, and strong wave energy (1291). That’s a proper set-up for experienced surfers – over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s windswell, but with zero wind and clean conditions, it’ll be punchy and fun for the crew who know what they’re doing. The afternoon has a similar 6ft from the south at 12 seconds (1301), but the wind goes onshore, so grab the morning.

The standouts are Thursday morning, August 13th, for the clean, glassy conditions, and Tuesday morning, August 25th, for the bigger, clean energy. The rest is mostly flat or average. Crowds are often a factor here, so get out early on those good days.

Rusty.
