The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got for Azarujinha.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag. There’s a pulse of energy coming through, but you’ll need to pick your moments. The real standout action looks to be Friday the 28th of August, but you’ll have to forgive a rough start to get there.
Wednesday the 26th is a write-off. We’ve got a cross-onshore wind with a risk of thunderstorms and a weak, messy 4ft swell from the WSW. The wave energy is low at 81, so don’t even bother.
Thursday the 27th isn’t much better. The swell pushes up to 7ft from the west, and the energy climbs into the moderate range (412), but that cross-shore wind is going to chop it all up. The conditions just aren't there.
Now, Friday the 28th is where it gets interesting. The morning has a 7ft swell from the WNW with a long period of 11 seconds, and the energy is strong at 1063. It’s a bit of a beast, and with that size and period, it’s definitely one for the experienced crew only – a reef break like Azarujinha should handle that long-period groundswell well. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s going to be a little bumpy but still the best wave of the window. This is the one to aim for. The afternoon cleans up but the swell drops back to 7ft.
Saturday the 29th offers a morning window of clean 5ft surf from the NW with a proper offshore wind. The energy is moderate at 381. It’s a solid option if you missed Friday, but the size and power are a step down. The afternoon flatlines completely.
Sunday the 30th is small and ordinary with a 4ft NW swell and gentle offshore winds. You could get wet, but it’s not going to set the world on fire. Monday the 31st has a bit more size at 5ft to 6ft from the NW, but the fresh offshore winds will keep it clean. The energy is moderate to strong (414 to 542). It’s surfable, but not a standout.
After that, it all goes quiet for a stretch. From the 1st of September through to the 10th, it’s a long run of tiny, weak surf. You’ll see pulses of 2ft to 5ft but nothing with any real punch. There’s a small spike on the 5th of September with a 3ft WNW swell and offshore winds in the morning, but it’s short-lived. The long-range window is pretty bleak, to be honest.
So, bottom line: if you’ve got the skills, Friday morning the 28th of August is your day at Azarujinha. That 7ft WNW groundswell has some real grunt. Otherwise, you’re waiting a long time for anything decent.
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.
