The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve got the long-range outlook for Balneario Sao Jose. To be straight with you, the first week is a bit of a struggle – there’s a lot of small, ordinary surf with onshore winds mushing things up. But hang in there, because the second week shows some real promise, with a couple of mornings that are gonna be worth the wait.
The first real standout is Sunday morning, August 9th. The swell picks up to 5 ft from the SSE with a short period of 8 seconds, so it’s a bit weak and lumpy, but the wind is offshore from the NNW, blowing at 6 mph, making it clean. The combined wave energy here is moderate at 300, and for a beach/pier setup, that offshore wind is a major plus. It’s not gonna be huge, but it’s the first decent shot of the period.
The next highlight is Saturday morning, August 15th. The swell is 5 ft from the SE, period 7 seconds, so it’s short and a bit fat, but again, the wind is glassy – calm from the SSW at 3 mph. That’s a treat. The energy is moderate at 284. This is a good one for a clean, fun session, nothing too intense.
But the absolute best on offer is Sunday morning, August 16th. Swell is 4 ft from the S with a period of 10 seconds, giving it a bit more shape and energy. The wind is glassy – virtually calm from the SSW at 3 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 401. This is the cleanest, most lined-up swell of the whole outlook. For a beach/pier, the glassy conditions and that 10-second period will make for some real nice, rolling waves. The water temp is about 68°, which is normal for the time of year.
Now, the afternoon winds on these days tend to turn onshore or cross-on, so the mornings are the key. The first week from August 2nd to 8th is pretty flat and messy, with only a few small, surfable windows. The 11th and 12th August see a big jump in swell (7 ft and 6 ft), but it’s accompanied by rain and cross-onshore winds, so it’s more of a battle than a pleasure. The 17th August morning has a 6 ft swell from the E, but it’s cross-shore wind and just marginal.
Overall, the best bet is to pencil in the mornings of the 9th, 15th, and especially the 16th. The 16th is the standout – clean, glassy, and a proper 10-second swell. Break out the log.
Rusty.
