The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Lookin' at the charts and it's a grim picture, mates. We are smack in the middle of a flat spell that’s gonna last a good while. The swell energy is a big fat zero for days, and the few tiny pulses that show up just aren't worth paddling out for. From now, it’s a long dry stretch of calm water until late in the month.
The first tiny pulse pops up on Monday, September 21st. It’s a weak, short-period NNE windswell, coming in at about 4ft with a period of just 5 seconds and a combined energy reading of 80. That’s a weak, low-energy signal. Wind is cross-onshore from the SE at 9 mph, so it’ll be choppy. For Itapema - Norte, expect poor, messy conditions. Not a day to get stoked on.
After that, it’s back to flatness until the very end of the outlook. There’s a tiny bump on the 26th, a NE windswell at 1ft and 3 seconds, and another on the 27th at 1ft and 3 seconds. These are barely wrinkles on the water.
Honestly, there's no standout in this whole 16-day window. The surf is a no-show. With the lack of waves and poor quality, the conditions look way more suited to a kite session than a surf one. It’s a quiet run, which can happen here when the swell train stops. Hopefully, the models change, but for now, keep the wax in the wrapper.
Rusty.
