Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you from the jump – this 16-day stretch for Azarujinha is looking like a real flat spell. We’ve got a massive gap at the start with nothing worth paddling out for, and honestly, the whole window is a struggle. We’re talking about an exposed reef break that needs a decent SW swell to light up, and we just aren’t getting it.

The first real chance to even think about wetting a line comes right at the end of July, but honestly, it’s a stretch. Let’s walk through it.

For the first week, it’s dead. From the 19th right through to the 25th, you’re looking at tiny waves – we’re talking 1ft to 4ft of weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy is barely registering and the winds are mostly a cross-off breeze, which isn't doing us any favors. It’s just poor surf conditions day after day. You'd be better off taking the dog for a walk.

Things get a tiny bit more interesting on Sunday the 26th of July. The morning brings a pulse of 5ft swell from the NW, and we finally see a bit of energy in the water with a combined reading of 239. The wind is offshore – a solid moderate offshore – so the surface should be clean. It’s still short-period stuff at 7 seconds, but for Azarujinha, this is the closest thing to a highlight in the whole outlook. If you’re an intermediate looking for a paddle, this is your window. The water temp is sitting around 70°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.

After that little bump, it fades fast. Monday the 27th drops back to nothing, and from the 28th through to the start of August, we’re in a real dry spell. There’s a bit of a pulse showing up on Wednesday the 29th of July – 4ft from the NW with a longer 10 second period and energy hitting 282 – but it’s still tagged as marginal. The wind is cross-off, so it’s not all bad, but it’s not a standout. The rest of the days are flat or near-flat, with combined energy values of 0 or 2. You’ll see a lot of "-" for swell height, meaning nothing is coming.

The first week of August looks just as bleak. A few days of 1ft to 1ft from the WNW with some onshore or cross-shore wind will keep the boards in the car. There’s simply no decent swell on the horizon.

Bottom line: For Azarujinha, this is a long, quiet period. Your best bet is that Sunday morning, the 26th of July, with the offshore wind and a bit of waist-high movement. The rest of the time, you’re looking at a lake. Don't hold your breath.

Rusty.
