The Lowdown
Alright, let me be straight with you. This is a rough one.
Look, I've scanned the charts for the next 16 days here at Azarujinha, and honestly, it’s a real struggle. There’s almost nothing to get excited about. The first real chance of even seeing a wave worth paddling for doesn't roll in until Sunday, August 23rd, but even then, it’s a long wait with plenty of flat days before that.
For the first week, we’re talking tiny, pathetic swell. The energy is just not there. The numbers are telling me the combined energy is stuck in the low double digits, like 10 or 12 (weak), for days on end. You’d be bobbing around on a lake. The wind isn't doing us any favors either, mostly cross or onshore, making things messy.
We finally see a pulse of energy on Thursday, August 20th, with a small 2 ft swell from the WNW, but the period is short at 9 seconds – that’s weak, windswell stuff. The energy climbs to 61 (moderate), but it’s still only rated as “surfable but very ordinary.” Hardly a call to arms.
Then, on Sunday, August 23rd, the afternoon shows a bump. Swell picks up to 3 ft from the WNW with a short 8-second period. The combined energy jumps to 180 (moderate). But the wind is howling cross-off at 19 mph, which will make it bumpy. It’s still listed as poor. Not the day.
The only real standout on the whole 16-day forecast is the very end. On Sunday, August 30th, in the afternoon, we see a legit swell. We’re talking 4 ft from the NW with a 10-second period, and the energy spikes to 250 (strong). The best part? The wind is fresh offshore from the NNW at 22 mph. That’s a big positive – that wind will groom the face. The water temp is about average for the time of year. This is the one window where it could get properly fun, but it’s a long way out, so keep your hopes in check. It’s a reef break, so it should handle that size and direction well.
The rest of the window is a write-off. Tiny swells, poor conditions, and strong winds. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real bummer of a run. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days.
Hold tight, and maybe keep the board in the car for that last Sunday afternoon.

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.
