Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Azarujinha.

The next few days are actually looking pretty good for a paddle, but we’ve got a big dry spell coming up after that. The first week has some clean, offshore conditions, then things drop right off for a while before a possible late surge way down the line.

We kick off on Saturday, 29 August. Saturday morning at Azarujinha is where it’s at. You’ve got a clean 6ft NW swell with a solid 9-second period, and the wind is blowing straight offshore from the north. The combined swell energy is moderate at 473, and the water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s a reef break, fairly consistent, and it’s exposed to the SW – the optimum direction here. This is the standout for the whole outlook. Saturday afternoon drops off a bit in size and gets a cross-off wind, so morning is the call.

Sunday, 30 August, it’s still clean. Sunday morning has 4ft NW swell (8 seconds) and a moderate offshore breeze. The energy is lower at 218, but it’s still surfable. Sunday afternoon sees a pulse of 5ft NW swell (9 seconds) with a fresh offshore wind, cleaner again, so that’s a solid afternoon session.

Monday, 31 August, keeps the offshore trend. Morning has 4ft NW swell (9 seconds) with moderate offshore wind, and the afternoon bumps up to 4ft (10 seconds) but with a fresh offshore breeze. The energy is moderate at 361 in the arvo. Good, clean, consistent waves.

Tuesday, 1 September, starts similar with 4ft NW swell (9 seconds) and offshore wind, but by the afternoon the swell tanks hard. It drops to 0.7ft with a very long 15-second period from the SSW, and the energy is just 22. That’s a dead end.

From Wednesday, 2 September, right through to Thursday, 10 September, it’s a grim stretch. The swell is tiny – between 0.7ft and 2ft – with very low energy (mostly under 100). The wind stays clean or offshore, but there’s nothing to ride. Wednesday morning, 9 September, and Thursday, 10 September, are especially flat. This is a long gap of about 8 days with no real surf.

Then, on Friday, 11 September, we get a little pulse. 3ft WNW swell (7 seconds) but the energy is only 101 – surfable but ordinary. The afternoon improves to 4ft WNW (8 seconds) with 229 energy, but it’s still marginal. Not worth getting excited about.

Saturday, 12 September, has 4ft WNW and W swells (10 seconds) with over 400 energy, but the wind is cross-off and the conditions are described as marginal. Ordinary.

Now, Sunday, 13 September – this is the one to watch. There’s a 8ft W swell with an 11-second period, and it’s clean with a moderate offshore breeze. The combined swell energy is a very strong 1467. That’s a big, powerful groundswell. But at over 8ft, this is only for experienced surfers. It’s a long period groundswell (11 seconds), which will be best at this reef break. This is a promising, long-range standout, but it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it. By then, the water temp will be about average for the season. Crowds are often a thing here, so expect company if it fires.

So, bottom line: make the most of this Saturday and Sunday (29-30 August) – that’s the best clean surf. The first week of September is a write-off. Keep your fingers crossed for that big pulse on the 13th, but don’t book the time off yet.

Rusty.
