The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break it down in feet and degrees. The outlook for Itapema is the same—no decent surf in the 16-day window from July 17 to August 1. Every single entry in the forecast says "poor surf conditions" with a zero rating. That's a whole lot of nothing.
Itapema - Norte is a beach and point break that's usually consistent, but this stretch is a total washout. Water temp is about 63°F, which is around 3°F cooler than normal for this time of year—a bit colder than usual, so you'll feel it.
The only tiny swell signals come late: on July 26, a 2ft NE/N swell with a 4-second period, combined energy of 16 to 21 (weak). July 27 afternoon brings a 1ft SSE swell with 4 seconds and energy of 6, and July 30 afternoon a 2ft S swell with 6 seconds and energy of 31. All still poor surf. Winds are variable, some glassy mornings, but without swell, it's just flat.
I'm not sugarcoating it—this is a big blank period. It happens sometimes in this area. Don't hold your breath; maybe check back later. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to ride.
