Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Azarujinha has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a slow start. We’ve got a few days of small, ordinary conditions through Wednesday and Thursday morning, with weak swells around 1ft to 2ft. The water is sitting at 68°, which is just about normal for this time of year, so nothing to write home about there.

The first real spark comes on Sunday the 6th of September. We’ve got a clean, cross-off wind from the NNW and a new pulse of swell rolling in at 4ft from the NW, with a solid 12-second period. The combined energy is moderate (520), and the surf is looking very good. That morning session is the standout for the first week – clean, lined-up waves with a bit of punch. The afternoon stays good too, with offshore winds, though the swell drops a touch to 4ft.

Monday the 7th sees a bigger bump – 5ft from the WNW with a 13-second period, and fresh offshore winds all day. The energy is strong (721), but the wave comment flags it as marginal. The wind is strong, so it’ll be a bit of a battle to get out, but for the experienced crew, there’s some serious potential. This one’s for the experts, not the beginners.

The middle of the week drops off again. We’ve got a few days of poor surf and mostly flat spells, with a tiny 0.7ft blip on Wednesday the 9th. Not worth paddling for.

Then we get a nice little run starting Saturday the 12th. The morning has 2ft waves from the WNW with light offshore winds, but it’s ordinary. The real return comes on Sunday the 13th. That morning is a beauty – 5ft from the NW, 13-second period, gentle offshore wind, and the combined energy is very strong (857). The surf is expected to be very good. This is the best of the whole outlook. Clean, powerful, and not too crowded if you’re early. That 5ft is solid for intermediates, but it’s not too big for a confident beginner on the right board.

Monday the 14th holds at 4ft from the NW, with light offshore winds and good conditions. The energy is moderate (327), and it’s a solid session for a weekday wave.

The last standout is Tuesday the 15th of September, but it’s a tricky one. The morning has a light cross-on wind and 4ft, but the afternoon sees a big jump to 5ft from the NW with a very long 15-second period. The energy is massive (1393). That’s a powerful groundswell. The wind is onshore, though, so it’ll be a bit messy. That long period is great for points and reefs, but Azarujinha is a reef break, so it should handle it well. This one is for the experienced crew only – 5ft with that much energy is heavy.

Overall, the window is a bit patchy, with a few days of flatness in between. The standout is Sunday the 13th – that’s the one to circle on the calendar. The second week has some promise, but it’s less certain. Keep an eye on the wind.

Rusty out.
