Table - best surf conditions forecast for Itapema - Norte over the next 16 days.
G'day, Rusty here. Let me tell you, it's been a tough stretch for surf around these parts. We're looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any decent waves on the horizon for the next couple of weeks. The forecast starts on Saturday the 11th, and the first week is almost a complete write-off. There's a gap of about three days straight with absolutely nothing rideable, and even when some small lumps show up, the quality is just not there.
The first few days are particularly grim. Saturday the 11th starts with light rain and a weak north-northwest wind, but there's no swell at all. Sunday the 12th is clear but still flat. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are the same story – glassy conditions on Tuesday morning, which is great to see, but with zero wave energy it's just a flat lake. It's frustrating when it looks that clean with nothing to surf.
We finally see a pulse of energy on Wednesday the 15th. Itapema - Norte (beach and point) will see a 3ft swell from the north-northeast, but it's short-period stuff at 5 seconds, with weak energy. It's barely enough for a longboard. The morning has a nice cross-offshore wind from the north-northwest, so it might look tidy, but the waves will be tiny and weak. Thursday the 16th is more of the same with a 2ft swell from the northeast. Both days are still a struggle.
Then it goes flat again. From Friday the 17th right through to Wednesday the 22nd, there's another big gap of almost six days with no surf to speak of. The water temperature is sitting around 63°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. On Wednesday the 22nd, a weak swell from the south at 3ft and a 4-second period pops up, but it's onshore and choppy. Not worth paddling out for.
The outlook stays poor right through to the end of the forecast window on Sunday the 26th. There's simply nothing on offer that's worth getting excited about. It's a tough run, but that's how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
Rusty.
