Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for Azarujinha, with only a couple of windows that are worth paddling out for. We’ve got a real dry spell in the middle, so pick your moments.

Right now, Friday the 11th is a write-off. Tiny 0.7ft leftovers with hardly any energy (4), so don’t bother. Saturday the 12th sees a slight bump to 2-2ft from the WNW, with a clean surface and light winds, but the combined energy is still meek (62-117). You could get a few grovelly ones but it’s ordinary.

Sunday the 13th into Monday the 14th gets a little more size, 3ft to 4ft from the NW, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and messy. The energy picks up (up to 383), but the quality isn’t there. Monday afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-off breeze, but it’s still only marginal.

Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are back to small and weak, with some strong offshore winds making it hard to get into anything. The water temp is about average for the time of year.

Now, the standout. Thursday the 17th morning is your best bet in the first week. We’ve got a clean 5ft NW swell with gentle offshore winds. The combined energy is a solid 442 – moderate but punchy. It won’t be huge, but conditions will be good for an intermediate session at Azarujinha (reef). Crowds are possible there.

After that, it drops off again. Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th see tiny waves with long periods (13-17 seconds), which is frustrating for a reef break – long gaps between sets, and the shape can be tricky. Sunday the 20th afternoon has a weird spike in energy (1164) but the 4ft NW swell doesn't line up perfectly, and it’s just rated marginal.

The next real highlight is Monday the 21st morning. This one is for the experienced crew. We’ve got an 8ft NW swell pumping with 2177 combined energy – that’s strong. Glassy conditions make it look excellent, but that size is too much for beginners. The period is 13 seconds, so it’s a proper groundswell. This is the best on offer, but it’s for experts only.

After that, we go into a long, flat, and poor run from Tuesday the 22nd all the way through to Friday the 26th. Tiny waves, poor direction, and mostly unrideable. It’s a dead zone.

Finally, Saturday the 26th morning shows a glimmer: 5ft NW swell with gentle offshore wind and moderate energy (504). That’s a decent way to finish the forecast period, but it’s a long way off – 15 days out – so take it as a promising hint rather than a lock.

So, for the whole 16 days: if you’re an expert, mark your calendar for Monday the 21st morning. For everyone else, Thursday the 17th morning is your clean but smaller window. The rest is mostly a waiting game.

Rusty.
