The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming up for Balneario Sao Jose.

First things first, the water is sitting at 68°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The next few days are a bit of a write-off for anything decent. We've got small, weak swell around 2 ft and the winds are mostly fiddly. Wednesday the 5th morning is glassy but the swell is tiny and from the south, which isn't ideal for this spot. Thursday the 6th is similar. It's not until Saturday the 8th that things start to look interesting.

Saturday the 8th morning is the first real standout. We've got a clean 7 ft SSE swell with a solid 11-second period. The wave energy is strong (1001), and the wind is light and offshore from the NE. This is excellent surf, but at 7 ft, it's getting into the territory for experienced surfers only. This is your best bet in the first week.

Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th are a mess with onshore winds and rain. The swell is there but the quality is poor. We see a bit of a lull through the middle of the week, with small, ordinary waves.

Now, looking further ahead, the real power shows up for the weekend of the 15th and 16th. Saturday the 15th has a massive 5 ft to 7 ft S/SSE groundswell, with a very long 16-second period. The energy is off the charts (1437-2277). This kind of long-period swell can be a bit tricky at a beach break, as it can close out. It's definitely for the experts only.

But the absolute pick of the 16-day window is Sunday the 16th morning. The wind is dead calm, glassy as can be. There's a solid 7 ft SSE swell, still with strong energy (1404). This is a powerful, clean, spectacular-looking morning for experienced surfers at Balneario Sao Jose. The following week starts to back off again, but the 17th offers some clean, smaller waves on the Monday morning.

So, to wrap it up: grind through the small stuff this week, hit Saturday the 8th morning for a solid session, and then mark your calendar for Sunday the 16th morning. That's the one.

Rusty.
