The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same forecast in feet and miles per hour.
The early part of this stretch is a total dud. Strong onshore winds and messy, lumpy surf mean you’re better off doing something else. The real action doesn’t kick in until Friday, August 28th, so there’s a few days of waiting.
The absolute standout is Friday morning, August 28th. That’s your session. The swell is a solid 7ft from the WNW, with a long period of 11 seconds – that’s real groundswell with plenty of push. The combined energy is 1136, which is strong. The wind is glassy, dead calm, so the surface will be perfect. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – the size and power mean it’s not for beginners. The swell direction is bang on the optimum for this reef break, so expect it to hold its shape. The afternoon session that day is also clean, with a 8ft swell and a cross-offshore breeze, but the morning window is the one to aim for.
Saturday, August 29th morning, the swell drops to 6ft from the NW with a moderate offshore breeze from the north, giving clean, well-formed waves. The energy is moderate (473). It’s a solid follow-up. Sunday, August 30th morning is smaller at 4ft from the NW, but with a gentle offshore breeze, it’ll be clean and fun for a bigger board.
After that, the surf goes to sleep. The first week of September is mostly flat or near-flat, with tiny, weak swell. There’s a small pulse around the 4th and 5th of September with some 3ft to 3ft NW swell, but the conditions are only ordinary, and the energy is low. The best of that weak period is probably the afternoon of Saturday, September 5th, with a clean 3ft from the NW and a combined energy of 268, but it’s nothing to write home about.
So, the one clear standout is Friday morning, August 28th. Glassy conditions, solid groundswell, and a long period. That’s your session. The rest of the window is a mix of blown-out, small, or flat days. Water temp is about 68°F, which is just a touch below average for this time of year.
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.
