The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what we’ve got.
Honestly mate, it’s a flat spell for Itapema – Norte. The whole sixteen-day window looks pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing, with the first real surfable wave not showing up until Sunday the 16th, and even then it’s nothing to get excited about.
Let’s walk through it. From the start, Monday the 10th through to Saturday the 15th, it’s a total blank. Just glassy conditions or light winds, but no energy in the water. It’s one of those runs where you’d be better off waxing your board and just looking at the horizon.
Then on Sunday the 16th morning, we finally get a pulse. A small NE swell at 4 ft, with a period of just 6 seconds. That’s short period, so it’ll be weak and gutless. The combined energy of all swells is only 72 – that’s weak energy. The wind is glassy with a light NNE breeze, so the surface will be clean, but it’s tiny and weak. That’s really the only window with any size all period.
After that, it’s back to tiny or flat. Thursday the 20th morning shows a 2 ft NE swell with a short 5-second period, clean with a light offshore W wind, but again, it’s barely a ripple. The afternoon of the 20th drops to 2 ft. Friday the 21st morning is even smaller at 1 ft. The end of the period on the 23rd and 24th offers nothing but cross-shore or onshore winds and no swell.
Water temperature on the 10th was 67°F, which is about average for the time of year, with a tiny anomaly of 1°F. No drama there.
For this break, Itapema – Norte is a beach and point setup, and it’s fairly exposed to the swell. The optimum swell direction is E, but we’re getting NNE and NE for the most part – so not the best angle. It’s consistent when there’s swell, but with these sizes, it won’t be breaking properly at all.
There’s no standout session here. If you’re desperate, the Sunday the 16th morning is your best bet, and even then, you’ll be on a longboard or a foamie. It’s not for experts or beginners – it’s for anyone who just needs to get wet.
Honestly, this looks more like a kitesurfer’s window than a paddle surfer’s. On the stronger SE winds later in the period (like the 24th afternoon at 15 mph), the beach setup might be worth a look for them.
