Table - best surf conditions forecast for Itapema - Norte over the next 16 days.
Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Itapema in the good old imperial system.
It’s looking like a dry spell, folks. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing coming up. Starting now and running all the way through to the middle of the month, from the 8th all the way to the 17th, it’s flat as a pancake. The swell energy is sitting at zero or just tiny little numbers that don’t mean a thing. It’s a real lull.
We finally get a tiny bit of hope on Saturday morning, July 18th. Itapema - Norte sees a small 3ft swell from the east-northeast. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a little soft, but the wind is glassy and it will be clean. The combined energy is a low 57 – weak, but it’s the best we’ve got. If you’re real keen, you might get a few mushy ones.
That fades out, and we wait again. There’s a tiny bump on Monday the 21st with a 2ft swell from the north-northeast and offshore wind in the morning. Clean, but nothing special.
Your best bet is probably the Thursday morning of the 23rd. Itapema - Norte will get a 4ft swell from the north with a short 4-second period. The wind is glassy, so the surface will be smooth, but the energy is weak at 48. It’s a small, weak day for a longboard.
Keep your expectations down, but that’s the deal. The water is about normal for this time of year.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Itapema - Norte can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
