The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same story, different numbers. Looking at the next 16 days for Itapema, it’s a real bummer. From July 29th right through to the morning of August 9th, the ocean is dead calm or just showing tiny, weak bumps. You’ll see a few near-flat pulses – a 1.0ft wave on the 31st, a 2ft one on August 1st – but it’s all short-period wind slop with no power (combined energy values like 2, 14). The finder calls it “poor surf conditions” and gives it all zeros. There are huge gaps with absolutely no surf on offer.
The only spot in the picture is Itapema - Norte, a beach and point break. It’s consistent and exposed enough, but that doesn’t help when there’s zero swell. The water temp is about 66°, right on the average for the year, nothing weird there. The wind is light and often glassy or offshore for days, which would be perfect if there were any waves to clean.
Finally, on the morning of August 9th, we get a tiny bump. A 2ft SSE swell with a 6-second period shows up, combined energy at a weak 18. The wind is cross-shore from the S at about 6 mph, so it’s bumpy. The afternoon is a little better: 3ft from the SSE, 5-second period, energy up to 31. But the report still says “poor surf conditions.” The period is so short, these waves will just be fat and crumbly.
The morning of August 10th is glassy and flat. By the morning of August 11th, the wind picks up from the S at 13 mph, creating a messy cross-chop on the surface, but still no waves to ride. The whole 16-day window is a washout.
There is no standout day. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple. Don’t get your hopes up for the next couple of weeks.
