Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Azarujinha over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some real magic hiding in the second week if you’re patient.

Right now, Saturday the 12th, it’s clean but tiny. You’re looking at waves about 2ft from the WNW, around 10 seconds apart, with a light NNE wind keeping it glassy. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is a touch colder than usual for this time of year. Honestly, the energy’s weak (57), so it’s more of a beginner’s splash than anything to get excited about.

Sunday the 13th sees a bump in size – 3ft to 4ft from the NW – but the wind swings cross or cross-on, and the period gets long (12-13 seconds). The energy picks up a bit (290-356), but it’s still marginal. Not worth rushing out for.

Monday the 14th is similar: 3ft in the morning with a cross-on breeze, then the afternoon cleans up with a cross-off NW wind and 3ft waves. The energy drops to 201, and it’s surfable but nothing special.

Tuesday the 15th brings offshore winds – 12-19 mph from the NNW – but the swell fades fast. Morning has 2ft, afternoon drops to 1ft, and the energy is pitiful (95 then 48). The wind is strong too, so it’s a tough paddle for minimal reward.

Wednesday the 16th is a write-off. The swell is 0.3ft with a massive 15-second period, and the wind howls offshore at 25 mph. Energy is 11. You’d be fighting a strong breeze just to sit there. Not worth it.

Thursday the 17th: morning shows a bit of promise with 5ft NW swell, a cross-off NNE breeze, and moderate energy (450). But the period is 11 seconds, and it’s only “marginal.” The afternoon? Forget it – 0.3ft and fresh offshore wind.

Friday the 18th is tiny again. 0.3ft in the morning, 2ft in the afternoon, with clean but weak conditions. Energy is 18 then 89. You’re better off waiting.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting.
Saturday the 19th is the first true standout. Morning has 4ft NW swell with a 14-second period, a light offshore N breeze, and the energy jumps to 565. That’s solid moderate energy. The water’s still that bit colder, but the waves will have shape and power. This is your best early window – clean, shapely, and for intermediate surfers, this is the one. Afternoon holds 3ft with a cross-off, still clean, but the magic is in the morning.

Sunday the 20th: morning is dead flat (0.3ft, glassy but no swell). Skip it. The afternoon though? 5ft NW swell, 11-second period, a gentle cross-off WNW breeze, and energy at 575. That’s a very good session for intermediates – clean, punchy, and not too big.

Monday the 21st is the absolute highlight of the whole forecast.
Morning: 6ft NW swell, 13-second period, ESE wind light and cross-on, but energy is a massive 1168. That’s strong, powerful swell. The afternoon is where it all comes together: same 6ft NW swell, with a clean cross-off NW breeze, and energy at 1055. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The period is long (13 seconds), and it’s best at this reef break – the waves will have plenty of push and shape. If you’re intermediate or advanced, clear your schedule.

Tuesday the 22nd: 5ft NW swell, but the wind is cross-on in the morning. Afternoon cleans up with a light cross-off WNW breeze, energy at 444, and it’s a solid, clean option for a follow-up session.

Wednesday the 23rd fades to 2ft-3ft, and the rest of the week into the 27th is a mix of small, clean, or offshore conditions, but nothing that matches the 19th-21st window. The 20th afternoon and 27th afternoon have a 17-second period (very long), which is best on this reef, but the size is small (2ft) so it’ll be clean but slow.

To sum it up: the standout days are Saturday the 19th morning for a clean, fun session at 4ft, and Monday the 21st afternoon for the biggest, most powerful swell of the period – 6ft NW, clean wind, and massive energy. That’s your call to action. The long-range stuff late in the second week is promising but less certain, so don’t sleep on that 21st.

Rusty.
