The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Azarujinha.
Things are looking pretty slim for the next couple of weeks at this spot. Azarujinha is a fairly consistent reef break that works best with a SW swell, but the forecast just isn’t delivering much. The water's sitting at 70°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We’ve got a little bump of swell starting on Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th, with waves around 3ft to 3ft coming from the WNW. The period is around 10 seconds, so it’s a mix of ground and wind swell, nothing too punchy. The combined wave energy is moderate, hitting 120 to 221, but the catch is the wind. While it's offshore from the N, it’s a gentle breeze, making for clean conditions. Thursday afternoon the wind picks up to a fresh 19 mph offshore, keeping things clean but a bit blown out on the surface. The rating is low, so this is really just for the die-hards who need a surf. On Friday the 14th, the swell drops to 3ft, still from the WNW, with a similar period. The morning has moderate offshore wind, but the afternoon gets too strong at 22 mph, so it’s a morning mission only.
After that, the bottom completely falls out. From Saturday the 15th onward, the swell drops to a pathetic 0.3ft – 0.7ft with very long periods from the SSW, hitting 16-18 seconds. That’s a groundswell, but there’s almost no height, and the combined energy drops to tiny single or low double-digit numbers. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-offshore, so it would be clean, but with no waves it’s just a glassy lake out there. Not worth paddling out.
There’s a slight flicker of hope on Friday the 21st, with a small 2ft pulse from the W, period 9 seconds, and moderate offshore wind. The energy is still weak at 62, so it’s barely surfable. But compared to the dead zone before it, it’s at least a wave. The afternoon blows out again with 22 mph wind.
From the 22nd through the 27th, it’s back to tiny 0.3ft – 0.7ft waves and mostly strong offshore winds. The combined energy is almost non-existent. It’s a long stretch of nothing.
The best of a bad lot is Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th in the mornings. The wind is gentle and offshore, the waves are a clean 3ft – 3ft from the WNW. It’s not going to set the world on fire, but if you’re jonesing for a paddle, that’s your window. After that, expect a blank run that lasts over a week. I wouldn't hold my breath for the 21st, but it’s at least a wave.
Rusty.

Information about the Azarujinha Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Azarujinha provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Azarujinha can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Azarujinha surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Azarujinha) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Azarujinha may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Azarujinha is 2 km (1 miles) from Estoril. If you plan a holiday in Lisboa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Estoril. Estoril has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
