The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Gonna keep this one short and real. The next couple of weeks are looking bleak for surf, so don't get your hopes up too high. We got a long stretch of flatness ahead, and the only real chance for a wave is over a week away.
The main spot to keep an eye on is Itapema - Norte (Itapema). It's a consistent beach and point break, but it's about to be starved for swell. Water temp is pretty normal for this time of year, no surprises there.
This week is a total loss. From Saturday the 29th through Friday the 4th, it's all tiny, weak, and mostly onshore slop. A glassy 2ft wave popped up on Sunday the 30th, but it was short-period and lacked any real energy. It's just nothing to get excited about.
The flat spell drags on through the following week. By Wednesday the 9th, we see a 4ft E swell show up for the afternoon, which is the first real energy we've seen, but the period is short and the wind is cross-shore, so it's gonna be a mess. Then, on Friday the 11th, there's a 4ft NNE swell with a bit more shape, but it's not a standout.
Your best bet is Sunday morning, the 13th of September. It's a week out, so treat it as a promise, not a guarantee, but we have a clean, glassy 2ft ESE swell. It’s small and a little weak, but it will be the cleanest waves we've seen in weeks. If you're desperate for a surf and can handle a grovel, that's your window. Don't expect anything epic, just a few clean ones.
That's all from me. Stay patient.
