The Lowdown
Alright, gang, Rusty here again. Let's break down the Itapema stretch. I’m looking at the numbers, and it’s a real slow burn for the next two weeks. We’ve got a long, dry spell of no surf.
The first real chance doesn’t come around for a long time. From August 1st all the way through to August 13th, the wave energy is a total goose egg. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a flat 0 for almost every session. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the swell heights are either missing or tiny. There’s a small pulse on the 3rd of August with a 0.7m (2ft) swell from the NE, but the period is a short 4 seconds and the energy is only 15 – not enough to get you out of bed.
The only break we’re looking at is Itapema - Norte. It's a beach and point, intermediate level, and it can be consistent, but the crowds are often a problem when it’s working. The water temperature is at 66°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The one and only standout, and I mean the only real window, comes on Sunday, August 16th. The morning of the 16th shows a clean 0.3m (1ft) wave from the SSE with a period of 3 seconds, but the afternoon is the best bet. The swell builds to 0.7m (2ft) from the SSE, with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy hits 28. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’ll be a little bumpy but rideable. The wave comment says "poor surf conditions," but for this stretch, that’s as good as it gets. It’s a day for a longboard or a fun shape. For a beginner, 0.7m (2ft) is totally manageable.
The rest of the forecast is a bust. There are a few glassy mornings, like the 10th and 11th of August, but there’s zero swell to match. It’s a tough blank run, but sometimes that’s the way it goes. Forecasts can change, but for now, circle the 16th and hope for the best.
Rusty, out.
