Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up at Azarujinha.

Right off the bat, we've got a tough start. The first week or so is looking pretty flat and uninspiring. You'll be waiting a good long while before anything rideable shows up. For the first several days, nothing really gets going. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the energy readings are weak, often in the tens (6, 131, 92). It's just not worth getting wet for.

The first flicker of real hope arrives on Saturday, July 11th, in the morning. We get a little spike in energy to a moderate 113, with a clean 2ft swell from the WNW. It's small, but the wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. That's about the best of a pretty ordinary bunch for the first week.

The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Friday, July 17th, in the morning. The swell picks up to a solid 4-5ft from the WNW, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 376. That's proper wave energy, and with a light cross-offshore breeze, the surf should be clean and have some push. Saturday the 18th morning is also worth a mention, with another 4-5ft from the NW and glassy, offshore winds. That's a morning of clean conditions with a decent sized, rolling swell.

Because the swell at that size and period (8-10 seconds) is still pretty manageable, it won't be too out of control for most intermediates. The water temperature sits at a normal 66°F for this time of year, so no surprises there.

So to sum it up: you've got a long flat spell, but the light at the end of the tunnel is the 17th and 18th of July. Friday the 17th morning looks like your best shot at some proper waves with clean conditions. Keep an eye on it.

Stay salty,
Rusty
