The Lowdown
Gonna be honest with ya, the next week is a bit of a tough beat. The whole game starts off flat as a pancake. We’re looking at a solid gap of just about zero surf from today right through until the morning of Wednesday the 9th. That’s a long stretch of nothing but flat water, so don’t even bother waxing up yet.
Then, on Wednesday morning the 9th, we finally see a little pulse of life. It’s not much – a weak little 1.2m NE windswell, with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak as well at 85, so it’s soft and gutless. The wind looks glassy though (0 km/h from the ESE), so the surface will be clean, but don’t expect any power. This is really for the longboarders or the beginners wanting a tiny push, but it ain’t going to win any awards.
After that little blip, it looks quiet again for days. We see a few tiny, inconsistent ripples on Tuesday the 15th – 0.8m to 1.0m from the NE and N, still with that short period around 5 seconds. The wind is cross-onshore though, which will mess up whatever weak lines there are. I wouldn’t bother paddling out for that.
So, for our best shot in this 16-day window – and I mean the *only* real shot – it’s Itapema - Norte. Hit it early on the morning of Wednesday the 9th. The wind will be glass for a while, so at least it will look pretty, even if it’s small. It’s a beach and point setup, consistently breaking, so it’ll hold what little we get. It’s fairly exposed to the NE, which is where the swell's coming from. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no shocker there.
Overall, it’s a grim outlook for Itapema. The wave energy stays low, and the poor quality comments are everywhere. For three weeks’ worth of looking, we’ve basically got one half-decent, glassy morning on a weak swell. Sometimes it be like that. Don't throw your board in the bushes yet – these charts can flip, but for now, stay patient.
