The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Azarujinha over the next couple of weeks. It starts quiet, but there’s a proper pulse of energy on the way for the weekend that you won’t want to miss.
The first few days are a total washout. From Wednesday the 16th through Friday the 18th of September, you’re looking at tiny, weak surf with no real push. The water’s at 67°, which is a bit cooler than normal for this time of year. Don’t stress, because it changes fast.
The standout window kicks off on Saturday the 19th of September. The early morning session is the one. Glassy conditions, a 8ft swell rolling in from the northwest with a 14-second period. That’s strong wave energy (2006). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The wind is calm, dead flat, so the waves will be clean as glass. The afternoon holds up too, with 7ft from the same direction and light cross-offshore breezes. This is your day.
Sunday the 20th drops off a bit. The swell is still a solid 5ft from the NW, but the wind turns cross and conditions get more average. Still surfable, just not as pristine.
Monday the 21st is a mixed bag. The morning is weak and cross-shore, but the afternoon brings a 4ft NW swell, cleaner, with decent energy. A good backup if you missed the weekend.
Tuesday the 22nd has an interesting afternoon pulse. The swell drops to 3ft, but it swings to the WNW with a very long 18-second period. Energy is still moderate (825), with light cross-offshore winds. That long period is pure groundswell, and at a reef break like Azarujinha, that means well-shaped, powerful waves, but longer waits between sets. Quality over quantity.
Wednesday the 23rd sees another size jump. The afternoon session shows 6ft from the WNW at 14 seconds, strong energy (1301), and clean cross-offshore winds. Another excellent day for experienced surfers.
After that, the second week gets trickier. Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th are smaller and less consistent, with some morning glass but mostly average conditions. Saturday the 26th of September is another standout morning call. Glassy conditions, 6ft from the WNW at 14 seconds, and very strong energy (1343). That one’s a keeper if you can be patient. Sunday the 27th has a clean 5ft in the morning before the wind picks up.
From Monday the 28th of September onward, the swell fades fast and the wind gets strong and offshore, making it hard to paddle into the small waves. The last few days of the month and into October are tiny and weak, not worth dragging your board out for.
Bottom line: your best bet is Saturday the 19th of September for the biggest, cleanest swell of the period. Saturday the 26th of September is a close second if you’re planning that far ahead. Expect crowds at Azarujinha – it’s often a popular spot, and on days like those, you won’t be alone.

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.

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.
