Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Azarujinha over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, the opening days are a write-off with poor surf conditions up until the end of the month. You’ve got a bit of cross-shore wind and messy bump through the afternoons from Tuesday the 25th right through to Thursday the 27th. There’s some size building – up to 7 ft from the west – but the wind is ruining it. That’s not for paddling, if you ask me. Kite-surfing might be the go on those days.

Now, a real standout comes Friday morning, 28th August. This is the one to circle. Azarujinha pulls on a beauty: clean, glassy conditions with an easterly breeze barely there – 3 mph from the east. Swell comes from the WNW at a solid 7 ft with a long period of 11 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is pumping at 1063 (strong) so there’s plenty of push. This is intermediate territory – maybe a bit much for beginners – but for the experienced crew, it’s exceptional. Water temp sits at 68°, pretty much normal for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama.

Friday afternoon stays clean but the wind swings NW cross-off at 12 mph, dropping the wave quality a little but still surfable with a good 7 ft at 10 seconds.

Saturday the 29th sees cleaner conditions again in the morning with northerly offshore wind at 16 mph, wave heights around 6 ft from the NW. But by afternoon the swell collapses to nearly nothing.

Sunday and Monday mornings both have offshore wind but only 4 ft to 5 ft waves – surfable but not a standout. The energy is moderate at best. By September 1st and 2nd, things go flat again; there’s barely any swell, so you’re looking at a gap of quiet days.

Now the next real highlight comes on Saturday the 5th of September. That morning delivers: 6 ft from the NW, period 11 seconds, offshore wind from the north at 12 mph. Combined energy hits 735 (moderate to strong) and conditions look very good. That’s a solid morning for anyone who’s keen, and Azarujinha tends to fire with the NW groundswell. Crowds can be an issue there – it’s often busy – but on a good day, it’s worth it.

The rest of that second week fades out quickly with tiny swell and no real surfing to speak of.

So the takeaway: Friday the 28th morning is your gold. And if you can wait, Saturday the 5th of September morning also looks promising, though further out so a bit less certain.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
