Hey, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks for the local stretch.
It’s a sluggish start, with barely any decent surf for the first few days. A lot of small, choppy, cross-onshore junk with wave energy barely cracking 100 – weak stuff. There's a real drought of about four or five days where you’re better off doing something else. Water temp is 65°F, dead average for this time of year, so no need to dig out the thick rubber.
The first real chance to get wet comes Saturday morning, July 11th. It’s small – just 2ft from the NW with an 11-second period, so there’s a bit of groundswell feel to it. The magic is the wind: absolutely glassy. Zero wind. That’s a huge plus for Cabedelo (Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo), a beach/pier spot that’s fairly consistent and best with a W swell. It's beginner-friendly, but you might have to share the water as crowds are sometimes around. Energy sits at 116 – moderate – but with glassy surface, those little waves will be clean as a whistle.
If Saturday slips by, Monday morning the 13th is another near-calm window. It’s 3ft from the NNW, short 8-second period, but the wind is dead still again. Energy at 105, still moderate. Not raging, but in a flat week, it’s a good chance to get a few fun little rides.
Now, the big one that deserves your attention: Sunday morning, July 19th. We get a solid 6ft of NW swell. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it won’t be picture-perfect, but the energy is 302 – strong and punchy. Best part? Glassy conditions with a light SSW breeze. That’ll keep the lines clean at Cabedelo. That 6ft is a step up, so if you’re a beginner it’s probably too much – but for experienced surfers, it’s the best push of the whole outlook. Hit the morning session before the wind turns onshore.
The next few days keep some size – around 7ft on Monday the 20th, and 6ft on Tuesday the 21st – but the wind goes cross-onshore and messy. Energy jumps to 441 and 315, so there’s plenty of power, but it’s not clean. Only worth it if you’re desperate for a thrash.
Bottom line: hold out for Saturday the 11th for a glassy, fun-sized morning, but the real gold is Sunday the 19th of July – biggest swell, cleanest wind, and the only true standout of the fortnight.
Rusty.
