Table - best surf conditions forecast for Balneario Sao Jose over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, talking in feet and degrees now for the imperial crew.
The week ahead starts quiet. First chance to paddle out is Wednesday morning, July 8th, at Balneario Sao Jose. We’re looking at small 3ft surf from the southeast, glassy with a light NNW breeze. Water temp is about 68°, which is right where it should be for this time of year – no surprises.
Thursday, July 9th, stays small with 3ft from the south, glassy again. Just a nice little warm-up.
The real standout of the first week is Saturday morning, July 11th. We get a clean jump to about 4ft from the southeast, with a solid 13-second period – that’s real groundswell energy. The combined energy reads 454, a solid moderate-to-strong push. Wind is dead calm, so expect glassy, clean walls. Swell direction is dead on for this break, and that longer period will mean longer waits between sets, but cleaner, better-shaped waves. That’s your best bet for the first half.
Sunday, July 12th, keeps that energy high at 460, but the waves are smaller, around 3ft. Glassy again in the morning.
Tuesday, July 14th, starts showing some muscle with 5ft from the SSE in the morning, glassy. By the afternoon it’s holding at 5ft, still glassy. The period is shorter though, around 9 seconds, so it’s more of a wind swell feel – fun but not as refined.
Jumping into the second week, Monday morning, July 20th, is a clear highlight. We’ve got 5ft from the east, period at 8 seconds, but it’s blowing clean offshore from the north. The energy is strong at 463. That’s the biggest, cleanest swell of the whole run. Tuesday, July 21st, follows up with 5ft from the ESE with offshore north winds again – another great session.
After that, size fades, dropping to around 4ft by Thursday, July 23rd. Still clean, but smaller.
The two must-hit sessions: Saturday morning, July 11th for the clean groundswell, and Monday morning, July 20th for the biggest, cleanest waves of the period.
Rusty.

Information about the Balneario Sao Jose Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Balneario Sao Jose provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Balneario Sao Jose can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Balneario Sao Jose surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Balneario Sao Jose) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Balneario Sao Jose may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
