The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range look for Itapema. Gotta be straight with you – the surf gods aren't smiling on this stretch of coast right now. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat, with only a couple of windows that might get you wet, but nothing that’ll get the heart racing.
Starting off, we’ve got a long, dry spell. From now, right through until the 24th of July, the ocean is basically a swimming pool. There's no swell to speak of, with the combined wave energy sitting at zero. The water’s a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 63°F, about 3°F cooler than usual, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.
The first tiny flicker of hope shows up on the 25th of July, Saturday morning. We’ve got a little pulse of swell coming from the North at 3ft, but the period is a weak 4 seconds, so it’s just wind chop. The combined wave energy is a measly 35. The wind looks good early – light cross-off from the NW – so it’ll be clean, but the waves will be gutless and crumbly. Itapema - Norte is your best bet here. It’s a beach and point setup that’s consistently breaking, but with this small, weak swell, you’ll be scratching for anything rideable. It’s more of a paddle than a surf.
After that 25th morning, it’s right back to nothing. The forecast flatlines again through the end of the month. No more recommendations come through.
So, to sum it up: if you’re desperate for a float, the morning of Saturday the 25th is your only shout, and even then, keep your expectations in the car. For the rest of the 16-day run, leave the board at home.
