The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Itapema over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a long, quiet stretch ahead. We’re looking at a solid week of nothing but flat, clean conditions. The water is sitting at 66°F which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Saturday afternoon, August 8th. We’ll see a tiny 3ft glassy pulse from the NNE, but it’s got a short period and only 22 combined energy – really just a ripple. Not worth paddling out for.
Things tease up a bit on Thursday, August 13th. The morning still has a weak 3ft easterly windswell with 64 energy, but it’s the afternoon that gets interesting. We get a 5ft ENE swell, period around 6 seconds, and the energy jumps to 151 (moderate). The wind goes glassy, and the conditions are described as "surfable waves but very ordinary." It’s the best we’ve got, but it’s still pretty ordinary for a spot like Itapema - Norte (beach and point). That 5ft is a bit much for absolute beginners, but fine for most.
After that, the forecast dries up again. We see a few scraps – a 2ft NNE glassy ripple on Sunday the 16th, and a 4ft southerly on Tuesday the 18th, but the wind is cross-onshore and the energy is weak to moderate. Nothing to get excited about.
Honestly, the standout – if you can call it that – is the Thursday afternoon, August 13th session at *Itapema - Norte*. The glassy wind and that moderate 5ft ENE swell (151 energy) is the only real window for a few waves. The crowds are described as "often" here, so expect company. It’s a beach and point setup, so that short-period swell will be a bit lumpy, but with no wind, it’ll be the cleanest option in a very flat run.
Overall, it’s a lean outlook. A lot of flat days, and the one decent window is a week and a half away. Don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
