Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’ve got on offer for Azarujinha. This is a reef setup, and the water temp is about average for this time of year.

The week kicks off with some proper swell. Monday morning, September 7th, that’s the one to point your board at. We’re looking at clean, chest-high waves (5 ft) out of the West with a solid 12-second period, and the wind is blowing straight offshore from the North. The combined energy is pumping at a solid 705 (moderate wave energy). That’s the standout session right there – expect very good surf conditions.

Later Monday, that same 5 ft west swell is still rolling with offshore wind, but the quality dips a touch. Tuesday the 8th is still surfable in the morning: 4 ft from the WNW, offshore wind, a little less energy at 281. Tuesday afternoon the wind goes cross-offshore and the swell drops to just over 3 ft, making it pretty ordinary.

Then we hit a flat spell. From Wednesday the 9th right through to Saturday the 12th, it’s pretty much game over. Tiny waves, mostly under a foot and a half, with no real energy. Saturday morning the 12th is glassy but the swell is barely 1 ft. You’d be wasting your time.

Sunday the 13th brings a pulse of life. The morning is glassy with a long-period 4 ft swell from the NW (13 sec, groundswell) and energy jumping to 454. That’s clean and could be a sneaky good session. Sunday afternoon gets a bit bumpy with cross-shore wind.

Now, if you’re patient, the real gold comes on Monday the 14th. Monday morning is glassy, dead calm, with a nice 4 ft swell from the NW and a 12-second period. Combined energy at 522. This is crystal clean and will be the best of the second half of the run. Monday afternoon holds up with clean 4 ft surf.

Tuesday the 15th is average at best, but Wednesday the 16th morning has 4 ft north-west swell with 11-second period and offshore wind – moderate energy at 476. Then look out for Thursday morning, September 17th. That’s another standout: 6 ft from the NW with a 10-second period, offshore wind, and energy at 617. Expect very good surf, but that 6 ft is pushing into the size where beginners might find it a handful.

After Thursday, it dries up fast. The 18th and 19th are tiny, and from the 20th to the 22nd you’re looking at barely a ripple – just 0.3 ft scraps. Not worth paddling out.

So to sum it up: your best bets are Monday the 7th morning and Monday the 14th morning for the cleanest, most energetic surf. Thursday the 17th morning for a punchier wave. The rest is mostly filler or flat.

Stay stoked.
Rusty.
