Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Azarujinha over the next couple of weeks.

First things first, the water temp is sittin’ around 68°, which is about 2° cooler than what’s normal for this time of year. Nothing too wild, just a little on the fresh side – you’ll want a thin suit if you’re feelin’ the cold.

Right now, there’s nothin’ doing. The first few days are pretty flat and messy. We’ve got a bit of a wait before any real surf shows up. The first proper chance to get wet comes on Sunday, September 6th. The morning’s the pick: a clean 4ft of NW groundswell, period up at 12 seconds, with a light offshore N breeze. The energy’s gettin’ in the game at 531 (moderate energy) – not huge, but it’s got some punch. This is the standout session of the whole run. The break is a reef, so that long period will wrap in nicely, and with offshore winds, it’s gonna be clean and lined up. Afternoon stays clean but the wind picks up, so the morning window is the one.

Monday, September 7th keeps the stoke goin’. Another morning of clean 5ft WNW swell, again with a solid 12-second period and a stiff N offshore. Energy’s a bit higher at 598. The wind is fresh though, so it’ll be a bit more challenging, but still a top call for competent surfers. If you’re a beginner, these swells over 5ft are gonna be a handful, so maybe sit this one out.

After that, the swell drops off fast. From Tuesday through to the end of the second week, it’s a long stretch of tiny, weak surf. The energy numbers drop right down into double digits, and most days are either blown out or just too small to bother. There’s a brief flicker of life on Sunday, September 13th with a 3ft WNW swell and light offshore wind – energy at 231 – but it’s ordinary at best, nothin’ to get excited about.

The real hope for the second week is Friday, September 18th. The morning shows a 4ft NW swell, 11-second period, and a light offshore N breeze. Energy’s at 295 – that’s the second best on offer. It’s still a way off, so take it with a pinch of salt, but it’s got potential for a clean, fun session.

Honestly, if you can make it out for Sunday the 6th or Monday the 7th, you’ll be rewarded. The rest of the run is a whole lot of nothin’ much, with a few small, clean windows that are worth a quick paddle if you’re desperate. Stay patient, and keep an eye on that Friday the 18th.

Rusty out.
