Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Azarujinha has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, it’s a pretty quiet run ahead. We’ve got a whole heap of days where the ocean’s just not putting out. The first real chance to paddle out doesn’t come until the morning of Saturday the 15th. That’s over a week of flat, small, or just ordinary conditions to get through. The wait is on.

The only true standout in this whole window is the morning of Saturday the 15th. The swell bumps up to a solid 5 ft out of the NW, and while the period is a short 6 seconds, the combined energy is pumping at 221 – that’s moderate energy. The wind is blowing offshore from the NNW at 15 mph, which will clean it right up. For Azarujinha, that’s the morning to be in the water. The break itself is a reef setup, exposed to the SW swell, so it can handle a bit of juice. Just be aware that with a short period, it’s not going to be the most lined-up wave, but it’ll be fun and punchy. The afternoon gets messy with the wind swinging cross-off and the swell getting a touch too big for comfort at 6 ft for anyone but the experienced crew.

Earlier in the run, you’ll see some tiny, ordinary swells, like 1 ft to 3 ft from the W and NW. They are surfable in a literal sense, but it’s ankle-snappers and close-outs. The wind is often cross-off or moderate offshore, but the energy just isn’t there to do much with it.

From the 16th onward, it completely drops off into the doldrums. We’re looking at tiny 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft swells from the SW, with very long periods of 15 to 18 seconds – all that energy is just wasted on a beach break. The combined energy figures are in the single digits or low twenties, telling you it’s flat. No recommendations there, just a waiting game.

Stick to the Saturday the 15th dawn patrol. That’s your window.

Rusty.
