The Lowdown
Right off the bat, it’s looking pretty grim out there. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing but closeouts and chop. For the better part of the next ten days, there’s just no energy in the water. The swell is totally absent, and what little wind we get is mostly onshore or cross-shore, just messing up any chance of a clean face. You’d be better off waxing the boogie board or just staring at the horizon. It’s a real bummer, but it’s the hand we’ve been dealt.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Sunday, September 20th. Finally, a south swell pops up, pushing in a 1.0m wave with a period of 6 seconds. It’s not going to be world-class, but it’s something. The light cross-offshore wind in the morning from the NW will help keep it clean, and the combined energy is sitting at 64, which is weak but at least it's something. The break to be at will be Itapema - Norte (Itapema). It’s a beach and point setup, fairly exposed to the swell, and it’s consistent. You’ll want to get out there for the morning session on the 20th before that NE wind swings around in the afternoon and messes it up.
After that, the tap turns off again. The 21st has some glassy morning conditions, but no swell to speak of. The 22nd and 23rd see a bit of wind and chop, but still nothing surfable. It’s a dry spell that’s likely to last another few days, with the next potential window not showing any real promise. It takes a while for things to get going again, but the area is fairly consistent, so it shouldn’t stay this poor for too long. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, don’t get your hopes up for any standouts in the near future. The only real highlight is that Sunday morning, so make the most of it if you can.
