The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Itapema is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, long stretch of flat, poor surf conditions. The first 16 days are basically a write-off for any decent waves. The first record shows nothing on Saturday the 5th, and it stays that way for the vast majority of the period. Through the whole first week, there’s simply no swell to speak of. The wind does offer some light and glassy mornings, which is a tease, but with zero wave energy, it’s just a flat ocean. There’s a bit of a pulse on the 12th of September with a 3 ft swell from the S, but the combined energy is only a weak 28, and the guidance says the surf quality is poor. It’s just not worth paddling for.
The only real flicker of hope comes right at the very tail end. On Thursday the 17th of September, the morning starts flat but the afternoon shows a tiny 2 ft SSE swell (4-second period). The wind is dead calm and glassy. The combined energy is still a feeble 16, so it’s not going to be anything to write home about, but it’s the only clean, glassy window with any wave height at all. Itapema - Norte is a consistent beach and point break, but it needs swell to work. The optimum swell direction is from the East, and this little bump is from the SSE, so the angle is off. This is a last-resort session for a longboard or a foamie, and you’d be a local legend just for getting wet. Honestly, for the next two weeks, this setup looks more interesting for a flat-water paddle than for surfing. Keep your eyes on the long-range forecasts, because it tends not to stay this poor for too long.
