The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let's break down what's on offer for Azarujinha for the next couple of weeks. It's a reef break, exposed to the swell, so we'll see what it can do.
Right now, things are looking sloppy. The start of the period is all onshore winds and lumpy, poor surf. The water temp is about average for this time of year. We've got a few days of rain and wind, with swell around 8 ft but with a short period of 8 seconds, so it's just messy. The combined energy is 984 (moderate), but it's not making good waves with that cross-on wind.
We have to wait until the 28th of August, Friday morning, for the real standout. The reef will be handling a solid 10 ft swell from the WNW, with a long period of 12 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is a strong 2590. The wind is clean and cross-off from the NNW, so the face should be holding up nicely. This is one for the experienced crew, though – at 10 ft, it's expert territory.
The following Saturday, the 29th, sees the wind swing offshore from the N, dropping the swell a bit to 5 ft, but it'll be clean and workable. It's a good option for the intermediate surfer, with a moderate offshore breeze cleaning it up. The energy is a moderate 451.
Then there's a flat spell from the 1st of September through to the 4th. Swell drops to nothing, about 0.7 ft. It's a proper gap, a few days of nothing to ride.
The real promise shows up on the 6th of September, Sunday morning. That's the second standout. A 3 ft swell from the W, but with a very long period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is a strong 627, and the wind is a gentle offshore from the N. Gentle offshore and clean – that's the dream. The waves will have some serious push for their size, and it'll be a much more manageable day for a bigger crew. The following Monday, the 7th, looks similar, with a 4 ft swell from the W, a 14-second period, and a gentle offshore wind. That's another solid day.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off until the 28th, which is a big, clean swell for the experts. Then a flat spell, and then a beautiful, clean, long-period groundswell around the 6th and 7th of September. That's your best bet.
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.
