Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the beach. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Azarujinha over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. This isn't a stellar outlook. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with pretty much nothing to get excited about. For the first two weeks, honestly, it’s a write-off. The surf is tiny, with heights mostly bouncing between 0.3 ft and 3 ft, and the energy is just pathetic. The combined swell energy barely cracks 100 for most of that time, sitting at a measly 26 (Tuesday morning) or 43 (Tuesday afternoon). The wind is cross-offshore, which is clean, but with waves that small, you're just bobbing around. It’s frustrating.

We do see a little pulse around Saturday the 25th, with the swell bumping up to 5 ft to 6 ft from the NW, and the energy hitting 271 on the Saturday morning. But here’s the kicker – the period is a short 7 seconds, and the wind is howling at 19 mph, making it messy and choppy. That's not going to be a fun session, that's a fight. The water temp is a warm 69°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're getting skunked.

Then we hit a real dead zone. From Sunday the 26th all the way through to the end of July, it’s tiny again. The wind goes offshore for a bit on the Sunday and Monday, but the swell is 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft. You can't surf that. It’s a full week of nothing.

Now, hold on a second. If you're patient, there's a tiny glimmer way out there. On Monday the 3rd of August, we finally get something that's actually surfable. The swell picks up to 3 ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy is a moderate 144. The wind is offshore from the NNW at 16 mph, which is clean. It's not a world-beater, but it's the first time in this whole forecast that the conditions are actually rideable. The following afternoon (Monday the 3rd) stays at 4 ft with 149 energy, but the wind shifts to cross-off. That's likely your best bet in the whole window, but it's so far out that I'd call it a promising but uncertain possibility.

So, the honest truth? For the next two weeks, you're better off taking the board off the car and doing something else. The only real standout is that Monday the 3rd of August, with a 3 ft NW swell and offshore winds. It's not a classic, but it's the only game in town.
