The Lowdown
Listen up, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Azarujinha for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a rough start. We’re lookin’ at a solid week of nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for. From Monday, July 20th, right through to Sunday, July 27th, the swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross-off, and the energy is pathetic – combined energy values mostly under 100 (weak), with plenty of days sittin’ below 50. You’d be wastin’ your time. Even the few ‘surfable’ calls on Monday morning the 20th and Thursday morning the 23rd are just ordinary, with a weak 3ft NW swell at 7 seconds and a combined energy of 94, and then 2ft NW at 7 seconds with 52. Nothin’ to get excited about.
Now, things start to look a little more promising at the very end of the month. Friday, July 31st – that’s the one. The morning session is the standout. You’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NW, 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 205 (moderate). The wind is a gentle cross-off from the NNW at 9 mph, so the surface will be clean. It’s not huge, but it’s the best we’ve got. Azarujinha itself is a reef break, fairly consistent, and it’s exposed to the SW – so that NW swell will wrap in nicely. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. Just keep in mind, crowds are likely here, so get in early.
After that, it’s a bit of a letdown again. Saturday, August 1st, drops off to a tiny 0.3ft, and Sunday, August 2nd, only brings a small 2ft NW swell at 7 seconds with 60 energy – surfable, but ordinary. The rest of the second week is dominated by strong offshore winds, which sound good but the swell is just too small to bother with, mostly 0.7ft or less. The combined energy values are all in the single digits. A long-range swell on Monday, August 3rd, shows a 0.3ft S swell at 15 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell, but the size is so tiny it’s not worth mentionin’ for surfing.
So, bottom line: your best bet is Friday morning, July 31st. The rest of the window is a write-off, with a big gap of no-surf from the 20th to the 30th. That’s a long, dry spell. But hey, it tends not to stay poor forever, and forecasts can change.
Rusty.

Information about the Azarujinha Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Azarujinha provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Azarujinha can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Azarujinha surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Azarujinha) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Azarujinha may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Azarujinha is 2 km (1 miles) from Estoril. If you plan a holiday in Lisboa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Estoril. Estoril has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
