Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve got the surf outlook for Azarujinha—a reef break that takes a south-west swell best. The water’s sitting at 68°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the first real action kicks off on Saturday the 5th with small, ordinary waves around 3 ft from the WNW. The wind’s glassy in the morning, and the energy’s weak (107), so it’s a good paddle-out for a warm-up but nothing to get excited about. Saturday afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze, but the energy bumps up to moderate (198) without making the waves any better.

Sunday the 6th is where it starts to get interesting. Morning comes in with a clean 4 ft from the NW, decent offshore wind, and the energy jumps to a strong 529. The period pushes out to 12 seconds, so there’s some proper groundswell in the water—this will hold its shape well on the reef. It’s a standout for the week, with the quality rating high. The afternoon gets windy and the quality drops, so hit it early.

Monday the 7th serves up another good morning: 5 ft from the west, 12-second period, and a solid offshore breeze. The energy is very strong at 731, and the conditions are clean. This is the best on offer—bigger, powerful, and well-shaped, but at 5 ft it’s still manageable for intermediates. The afternoon turns fresh and windy, though, so morning is the call.

Tuesday the 8th is still worth a paddle in the morning with 4 ft from the WNW, moderate energy (281), and offshore wind. The afternoon gets cloudy and the wind shifts, making it messy.

From Wednesday the 9th through to Tuesday the 15th, we hit a long flat spell. There are a few tiny, weak waves here and there, but none are worth the drive. The wind stays offshore mostly, but the swell just disappears.

Then on Wednesday the 16th, we get a late burst. Morning is glassy with 5 ft from the NW, 12-second period, and very strong energy (648). The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-off. This is another standout—the best size of the outlook, and with zero wind in the morning, it’ll be silky smooth. At 5 ft, it’s still good for intermediates, but the power is there.

After that, it fades again into small, weak stuff for the rest of the window. Overall, the best sessions are the mornings of Sunday the 6th, Monday the 7th, and Wednesday the 16th. The 16th is the biggest and cleanest, but it’s two weeks out, so keep an eye on it.

Rusty.
