The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty again. Let’s break it down in feet and degrees for you.

We’ve got Balneario Sao Jose, a beach/pier spot that eats south swell. Water’s running about 69°F, which is a touch warmer than average for the time of year – nothing wild, but a nice little comfort.

Sunday is a mess. That 4ft south swell (13-second period) is there, but the cross-on wind chops it up. Wave energy is moderate (605). Monday through Wednesday is more of the same nonsense. Swell gets as big as 6ft – 6ft from the SSE with a 13-second period, and the wave energy climbs into strong territory (752 to 1133), but the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore. Lumpy and no fun.

Thursday the 13th morning changes the tune. Glassy, calm, and a clean 4ft SSE swell, 12-second period, with moderate energy (480). That’s a real surf session. Friday the 14th morning is the real gem here – dead calm, glassy, 4ft south swell at 13 seconds (585). Perfect for a long morning with your favorite board.

Saturday drops back to cross-ons, but Sunday the 16th morning surprises with a glassy 3ft SSE swell. Small but clean.

Now the big one. Monday the 17th. You’re looking at a 8ft ESE swell, 8-second period, with strong wave energy (1152). And it’s glassy. That’s a heavy, punchy wall of water – experts only. The short period means it’ll be a bit dumpy, but on a beach break, that can wedge up nicely. The afternoon holds at 6ft and still glassy (650). This is the best session of the whole 16 days.

Tuesday and Wednesday the 18th–19th go flat. Swell drops to 3ft – 5ft, cross-onshore wind comes back, wave energy tanks (166 – 440). Not worth paddling out.

Then, Friday the 21st is the late-period standout. A 8ft south swell, 9-second period, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. Wave energy is strong (1462). That’s a serious amount of power for the confident surfer. Crowds are likely here when it’s good.

From the 23rd onward it’s small, windy, and miserable.

So: don’t bother until Thursday. Your best bets are Friday the 14th morning for a clean, glassy session, and Monday the 17th for the biggest, cleanest power. The 21st is a promising long-range call for the brave, but it’s a week and a half out, so stay tuned.

Rusty.
