Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range look for Azarujinha. We've got a bit of a slow start, but some real gems hiding in the forecast if you're patient.

The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a touch cooler than average for this time of year, but nothing crazy. For the first few days, the surf is building nicely. Sunday morning, September 6th, is looking clean with a light offshore breeze from the north. Swell is 4ft from the NW with a 12-second period, and the energy is moderate (529). It's not the biggest, but the conditions are glassy, so you'll find some fun ones. Come Sunday afternoon, the wind picks up and the quality drops off, so make the most of the early session.

Monday morning, September 7th, is the standout early in the run. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the west, still a solid 12-second period, and the offshore wind from the north keeps things clean. The energy jumps to 799, which is moderate but punchy. This is the session to aim for if you can swing it. Monday afternoon gets a bit choppy with the wind, so morning is the call. Tuesday morning still has some clean 4ft waves from the WNW, but the period drops to 10 seconds, and the energy is a bit weaker at 286. Worth a paddle if you missed Monday.

After Tuesday, things go quiet. From Wednesday, September 9th, through Saturday, September 12th, we've got a proper lull. Swell drops to almost nothing, with energy as low as 5 or 6. It's flat and not worth getting wet for. There's a gap of about four days with no real surf on offer. If you're desperate, you might find a knee-high ripple, but honestly, save your energy.

Now, looking into the second week, the models are getting a bit less certain, but there's some promise. Sunday, September 13th, shows a bit of life again. The morning is messy with a cross-onshore breeze, but the swell is 3ft from the NW with a long 13-second period, and energy at 358. By the afternoon, it builds to 4ft from the NW, same period, but still with cross-shore wind. It's marginal.

Monday, September 14th, is where it gets interesting again. Morning brings a glassy, clean session with 4ft NW swell and 12-second period, energy at 319. That glassy wind is a major positive. If you can get out early, it'll be worth it. Tuesday morning, September 15th, also looks solid with 4ft from the WNW, 12-second period, and a gentle offshore breeze. Energy is 388. Two good mornings in a row.

We've got a bit of a wild card on Wednesday, September 16th. Swell jumps to 6ft from the NW, but the period drops to 8-9 seconds, and the wind is cross-offshore. The energy is moderate (514-551). It's going to be a bit lumpy and not the cleanest, but there's size. If you're an experienced surfer, you might score some punchy walls. Thursday, September 17th, is similar with 6ft NW swell and a 12-second period, but the wind cranks to 25 mph from the north. That's a strong offshore, which will make it clean but incredibly difficult to paddle into. Only for the fit and the brave.

The real standout in the second week is Friday, September 18th, afternoon. Swell is 5ft from the NW with an 11-second period, moderate offshore wind from the north, and energy at 589. The conditions line up well for Azarujinha's reef setup. This is the session I'd be circling on the calendar. It's promising but still a bit far out, so keep an eye on it.

Saturday, September 19th, has some wind issues, but the afternoon shows 5ft from the NW with a 10-second period and gentle cross-offshore wind. Energy is 422. Not bad, but not the best. Sunday, September 20th, afternoon looks like another gem: 6ft NW swell, 9-second period, light cross-offshore wind, and energy at 533. The conditions are clean and the waves will be fun. Monday, September 21st, morning is a bit iffy with onshore wind, but the afternoon cleans up with 5ft from the NW, 11-second period, and a gentle cross-offshore breeze. Energy at 460. A solid way to finish the forecast.

So, the two standouts for me: Monday morning, September 7th, for the combination of clean offshore wind and building swell. And Friday afternoon, September 18th, for the consistent NW swell with good wind and solid energy. Mark those sessions and keep your fingers crossed.

Stay stoked, and I'll see you out there.
