The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles for the imperial crew.

Our main spot is Balneario Sao Jose. Tuesday afternoon is kicking off right. We’ve got a 5 foot swell from the south with a 13-second period – proper groundswell with moderate energy (780). The wind is glassy out of the east-northeast, so it’ll be sheet glass. Water temp is 70°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. For an intermediate surfer, this is a standout window. It’s an exposed beach/pier setup, so it can be a bit dumpy, but with no wind, it’s clean fun.

Wednesday morning brings the best of the first week. Swell is 4 feet from the south-southeast but the period is a massive 16 seconds – very long period groundswell. Energy is strong at 1016. Wind is dead calm, glassy. This is expert territory; it will be hollow and powerful. The bar will be working like a reef. This is the session to circle.

Wednesday afternoon gets bigger to 6 feet, period 15 seconds, energy at 1551, but the wind goes onshore and it’s messy. Skip it.

Thursday morning is another beauty. Clear skies, glassy northeast wind, 6 foot SSE swell at 14 seconds, energy at 1387. Excellent for advanced surfers – clean, powerful, lined up.

Friday morning is still solid with a 6 foot east swell, but the period drops to 8 seconds. Glassy wind keeps it clean, but the waves will be a bit crumbly.

From Saturday afternoon through Monday, things go flat. Saturday morning has a weak 4 foot east swell with light offshore wind – just surfable. Sunday and Monday are 3 feet or less, with onshore wind. That’s a 3-4 day lull.

Tuesday the 1st of September bumps up to 3 feet from the south, but with heavy rain and messy wind – no good.

Wednesday the 2nd of September has a 8 foot SSW swell, but cross-onshore wind at 20 km/h makes it choppy and ugly. That’s kite-surf territory, not paddle.

Thursday the 3rd of September – bingo for the second week. Early morning has a 7 foot SSE swell, period 10 seconds, glassy calm, energy at 844. Big, clean, powerful, expert-level. This is your standout.

Friday the 4th of September is still okay at 5 feet from the southeast, glassy in the morning, but smaller.

After that, it fades. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th have some very long period swells (14-15 seconds) but only 3-4 feet, with glassy conditions. Clean but small – a longboard day.

Best bets: Wednesday morning August 26th (huge period, glassy, expert) and Thursday morning September 3rd (big, clean, powerful). Tuesday afternoon August 25th for a fun, clean intermediate session.

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.

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.
