The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here, checking in on Azarujinha. Looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s a bit of a slow burn to start, but there’s a glimmer of something better by the time we get to the end of the forecast period. For now, the ocean’s looking pretty ordinary.
The early part of the run, from the 10th through to the 14th, is mostly small and uninviting. We’ve got a mix of weak, short-period swells from the northwest and west-northwest, with wave heights barely cracking 3ft. The energy is low, with combined swell energy values like 137 and 217 hinting at weak to moderate wave energy, but honestly, the surf just isn’t there. Most mornings have a bit of offshore wind which keeps things clean, but the lack of any real size means it’s just not worth paddling out for. A couple of those afternoons, like the 12th and 13th, have claimed surfable waves but the conditions are very ordinary, so you’re not missing much.
Moving into the middle of the month, the 15th through the 19th, we’re looking at a real flat spell. Swell heights drop right off to less than a foot, and we’re seeing some long-period energy from the southwest, which usually means the reefs and points would fire, but there’s simply not enough water moving. It’s just dead. A couple of afternoons see a strong offshore breeze, which would normally be a great sign, but with nothing to push, it’s not helping the surf. This is a good time to get the gear sorted or just enjoy a lay-in.
The next little pulse arrives around the 20th and 21st, but it’s nothing to get excited about. The swell picks back up to a similar 2ft to 3ft from the west-northwest, with periods around 10 to 11 seconds. It’s surfable on a longboard if you’re desperate, but the combined energy is only moderate, and the wave quality is still pretty average. The morning winds are offshore and light, so it will be clean, but it’s just small and weak.
Then, here’s the standout. After a long stretch of ordinary, the 23rd and particularly the 24th of August start to look interesting. There’s a new swell arriving from the west-northwest, with heights building to 4ft to 4ft and periods lengthening to 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy readings jump right up to 465 and 522, which is a huge boost compared to what we’ve seen. This is the kind of pulse that could make Azarujinha’s reef setup really sing. The morning of the 24th looks like the pick of the bunch, with glassy conditions and light winds that will make it clean and lined up. This is definitely the one to circle on the calendar.
The 25th still has some push with a 3ft, 11-second swell and a calm, glassy morning, so there will be a few more fun ones before things settle again. Water temperature is sitting right around 69°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.
So, overall, the first two weeks of this outlook are a mix of tiny, energy-sapped waves and a proper flat spell. But don’t let that get you down. That pulse on the 24th and 25th looks like the real deal, with good size, solid period, and clean conditions. It’s a long way out, so I wouldn’t book the day off work yet, but it’s a promising sign that the ocean hasn’t completely shut down. Keep your eyes on the forecast and be ready to move when that swell arrives.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
