The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming down the line for us. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu.
We’ve got a slow start, but things are looking up after a few days. The first good surf appears on Monday the 14th. A 3ft NW swell, 11-second period, with glassy conditions. That’s a clean, friendly wave to kick things off, with weak energy (276) but perfect for a beginner looking for a longboard cruise. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year.
After that, we hit a bit of a lull. Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are a write-off—windy, messy, and the swell is either tiny or way too big with strong winds. Not worth paddling out.
Thursday the 17th morning could be a goer. We’ve got a clean 8ft NW swell (899 energy) with cross-off winds at Cabedelo. That’s a good size, clean, but it might be pushing the limit for beginners. Friday the 18th morning is also clean with a 6ft NNW swell, but it’s only marginal.
Now, the real standout is Saturday the 19th morning. This is the best on offer. A solid 7ft NW groundswell with a long 13-second period, and the wind is glassy offshore from the ENE. That’s 1452 energy—strong stuff. This is for experienced surfers; it’s going to be big, powerful, and perfect. Cabedelo can handle a NW swell well, and with those conditions, the waves will be lined up and clean. Expect a few more heads in the water, but it’ll be worth it.
Sunday the 20th morning cleans up again, with a 5ft NW swell and offshore winds. A nice, user-friendly option for the weekend.
Looking further out, Monday the 21st morning is another highlight for the experienced crew. A 5ft NW groundswell with a 13-second period, clean offshore wind, and strong energy (1114). It’s a solid, powerful option for those who know what they’re doing.
The following week, Tuesday the 22nd morning is glassy with a 4ft NW swell (515 energy). Nice and clean, but smaller. Things start to fade after that with smaller swells and onshore winds. Saturday the 26th morning is a last hurrah of clean, glassy conditions with a 4ft NW swell, but it’s nothing special. After that, it’s mostly small and messy through to the end of the forecast.
So, to sum it up: Saturday the 19th morning is the one to circle. Big, clean, powerful. Monday the 21st morning is a close second for the bigger wave crew. The rest is a mix of small windows and onshore chop.
Stay safe, and I’ll see you out there.
Rusty.
