The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m looking at the run ahead for Azarujinha. Honestly, the next week and a half is lean. Real lean. We’ve got a patch of tiny, weak waves and strong offshore winds that will keep the surface clean but won't give you much to ride. The energy is just too low, with combined swell readings mostly in the double digits, so don’t get your hopes up.
The only time you might want to paddle out is around Wednesday, August 26th. Forecast is showing a pulse of NW swell pushing in around 5 ft with a short period, but it's packing a punch – combined energy hits 250 (moderate wave energy). That’s the best of a quiet bunch. Winds are offshore from the N in the morning, which should keep it clean. It won’t be a classic; that short period means it’s not the most powerful or organized, but it’s the closest thing to a surfable wave on the entire 16-day calendar. Before that, you’re looking at a solid stretch of minimal swell and poor conditions that’s not worth chasing.
Don't go looking for this to be a beginner-friendly day; over 5 ft would be the red line, and this sits just under it, so fair game for the average surfer.
This is one of those periods where you might be better off waiting for the forecasts to change, because it tells me this stretch stays small. There’s a sniff of something on the Tuesday before, but the wind is strong offshore and the energy jumps briefly into the 400s, but the period drops – making for a messy, bumpy ride at best.
Crowds at Azarujinha are always a factor, but with such poor surf, it’s unlikely to be packed.
Stick to the morning of the 26th if you want the best chance; otherwise, keep the board in the car.
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.
