The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on the cards for Azarujinha over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow burner, to be honest. We've got a real mixed bag coming up, with plenty of small, ordinary days to work through before anything worth getting properly excited about.
The first few days are pretty grim. Tuesday the 1st starts off with a lumpy 6ft NW swell but it's being hammered by a fresh 19 mph offshore wind, creating clean but pretty challenging conditions. The wave energy is moderate though, sitting at 504. That session is more about surviving than thriving. It drops right off after that. Wednesday the 2nd sees a tiny 3ft NW windswell with a short 8-second period, so the waves will be weak and crumbly. Thursday and Friday are much the same story – ankle to knee-high slop with light winds, but nothing that'll get your heart racing.
We then hit a real flat spell. From Saturday the 5th through to Monday the 11th, it's mostly poor surf with weak energy readings rarely cracking 100. There's a small bump on Sunday the 6th with a 3ft NW swell and a longer 11-second period pushing the energy to 307, but those cross-shore winds will mess with the line-up. Not worth the paddle, really.
The second week picks up a little. There are a few mornings where it's surfable but ordinary – Tuesday the 12th has a 3ft NW swell with clean offshore breezes, but it's still on the small side. A bit more life on Thursday the 10th with a 4ft NW swell and light cross-shore wind, but the energy reading of 296 suggests it's only moderate.
Now, the real standout. Mark your calendar for Tuesday the 15th of September. We get a solid 4ft W swell with an 11-second period, pushing the combined energy to 361 – that's a healthy, moderate pulse. The wind is a gentle offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, meaning clean, lined-up waves. That morning is your best bet in the whole run. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so not a worry.
But there's an even bigger one on the horizon. Wednesday morning the 16th of September looks like the pick of the entire outlook. A 5ft WNW groundswell with a very long 13-second period, and the combined energy reading is a massive 1460 – that's strong wave energy, proper punch. Wind is a slight air from the north, glassy conditions. This is expert-level, big-wave territory. For the experienced crew, this will be absolutely firing. The long period means the sets will be clean and powerful, but at a reef break like Azarujinha, it should hold up beautifully. Crowds are often a factor here, so expect company for this one.

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.
