Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Azarujinha.

Alright, the outlook for this spot is a bit of a slow burn. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf to kick things off. From Friday the 11th right through to the morning of Saturday the 19th, it’s mostly small and messy with combined wave energy barely scratching 100 (except for a couple of afternoons hitting moderate levels). The water temp is sitting at 66°F and a notch colder than usual for this time of year, so you might want a thicker suit if you’re heading out now.

The first real hint of something better arrives on the morning of Saturday the 19th. It’s still marginal, but a 2ft NW swell at 15 seconds rolls in with light cross-onshore wind. The combined energy hits 217, which is moderate, but the conditions aren’t clean enough to get excited. The afternoon cleans up a little with a cross-off breeze, but it’s still nothing to write home about.

Monday the 21st morning brings a moment of stillness. The wind goes glassy, with a 3ft NW swell, period around 10 seconds. It’s surfable, but nothing standout. The real change kicks off on Tuesday the 22nd. Morning sees a 5ft NW swell with a 12-second period and moderate offshore wind from the N. Combined energy jumps to 791 – that’s strong energy. Waves look clean, and the size is getting into proper intermediate territory.

If you’re looking for the best, it has to be Tuesday the 22nd morning. That’s the standout. Head high with clean offshore conditions. The swell direction from the NW is right on the optimal for this break, and the wave comment says expect very good conditions. Crowds are often here, so expect some company.

After that, the surf holds in the shoulder-high range through Wednesday and Thursday with moderate offshore winds. But it’s Friday the 25th that delivers the most power. Morning brings a 5ft NW swell with a 15-second period and fresh offshore wind. Combined wave energy hits a massive 1779 – that’s very strong energy. This is solid groundswell, long period, which at a reef break like Azarujinha should mean proper, lined up waves. This one is for experienced surfers though; it will be powerful and well over head high. The afternoon pushes 8ft NW at 14 seconds, with energy over 2000. That’s expert territory, and the strong offshore wind will keep it clean but challenging. Saturday the 26th keeps the energy high with 6ft NW swell and fresh offshore breeze.

So, the long-run highlight: Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th offer the biggest, most powerful swell of the window. It’s a promising run of solid groundswell, but remember, long-range calls are always a bit less certain. Keep an eye on it.

This is Rusty, signing off.
