The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and let's talk surf. Honest truth, for the next week and a bit, the ocean's just not cooperating. A real dry spell, with hardly a wave worth your time. The water's about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Don't even think about a dawn patrol for the first week. From July 31st through August 8th, it's flat or rubbish. We've got a bit of energy here and there, but the wind is constantly onshore or cross-onshore, messing everything up. It's all chop and slop.
Then, a glimmer of hope on Sunday, August 9th. That morning is your only real shot. A new swell shows up – a clean 6ft from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds, packing a punch (598 combined energy). The wind is dead calm, glassy as glass. That's a huge win, meaning Cabedelo will be pristine. It's a fairly consistent beach and pier setup, and with that NW and WSW swell it's working perfectly. It's going to be clean and fun for a few hours, but it's a beginner-friendly wave, so expect the crowds. That morning window is the best on offer, no contest. Come afternoon, the onshore wind kicks in and it's game over.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. Monday and Tuesday have some leftover swell, but the wind is cross-off and side-shore, blowing like crazy. By Wednesday the 12th, the wind is hitting 30 km/h and it's a total mess. The rest of the fortnight is tiny and weak, nothing to get out of bed for. A real tough stretch.
Rusty, out.
