The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Honestly, the outlook for Itapema over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing much, with some fleeting moments of small, weak swell that just don’t cut it. The water temp is sitting right about 64°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The first few days are a total write-off. Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th offer nothing but flat, clean conditions for a paddle, but no surf. The swell energy is zero (0). You’d be better off sunbathing.
Tuesday the 28th is the only real blip on the radar. The morning brings a tiny pulse of 4ft swell from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds – that’s short-period, windswell stuff. The combined energy is a low 102 (moderate energy), but it’s accompanied by a clean cross-offshore wind from the NNW. It’s surfable, but “very ordinary” is the call. This is the best we’ve got, and it’s not saying much. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the swell dies.
Then we hit a long, dead zone. From Wednesday the 29th right through to the end of the forecast period on Monday the 10th of August, the data shows zero swell energy. There are days of glassy, clean conditions, and some light offshore winds, which is a tease, but there’s simply no waves to ride. It’s a total blank run.
So, what’s the one standout? Itapema - Norte. On Tuesday morning, July 28th, you’ll find a 4ft NE swell with a clean cross-offshore wind. It’s the only time the board gets wet. It’s a beach and point setup, so it can handle a bit of swell, but with that short period, it won’t have much push. Expect it to be a bit fat and weak. Crowds are often an issue here, but with the surf being this marginal, it might be quiet.
After that, it’s flat. A long, dry spell. Keep your eyes on the forecast, because it can’t stay this poor forever.
Rusty.
