The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what we’ve got for Itapema over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch on the whole. We’re looking at a long gap with nothing rideable, so patience is the name of the game.
We start off with a tiny little pulse on Wednesday morning, August 26th. Itapema - Norte (Itapema) is seeing a weak 2ft swell from the north, with a short period of just 3 seconds. The combined swell energy is a measly 8. There’s a light cross-offshore wind from the NW at 3 mph, which keeps the surface clean, but with that small, weak swell, it’s not worth paddling out for. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
After that morning, it’s dead flat for days. From Thursday the 27th of August all the way through to Friday the 4th of September, there is nothing on offer. Total flat spell.
Then, on Saturday the 5th of September, a little life returns. The morning session shows a 2ft swell from the southeast, still a short 4-second period. Combined energy is a weak 16. The wind is glassy from the WNW at 3 mph, so conditions are clean, but the surf is still gutless. It’s followed by a similar tiny 2ft swell on Sunday the 6th of September morning, from the north at 3ft, with a combined energy of 32 – again, small and weak, but glassy calm with no wind. A bit of a tease, really.
For the second week, the best chance of something comes on Tuesday the 8th of September afternoon, with a 4ft swell from the south, period of 5 seconds and combined energy of 74. It’s not powerful, and the wind is a light cross-onshore from the NNE at 6 mph. Still, it’s the biggest bump we get in the whole 16-day window. Expect small, weak waves, but if you’re desperate, it’s the pick of the bunch. Mornings on the 9th and 10th stay tiny or flat.
Overall, this is a lean run for Itapema. Nothing stands out as a proper session, and it’s one of those spells where you’re better off waiting for the next change in the charts.
