The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk real talk. The next couple weeks are mostly a grind, with one morning that’s actually got some spark to it.
The first few days aren't worth paddling out for. Friday morning the 21st has a weak 3ft of west-northwest swell with a 11-second period, and the north wind keeps it clean, but there’s just no energy. It fades fast after that. Saturday and Sunday are blown out with onshore wind and messy conditions. Forget it.
Monday the 24th through Friday the 28th is a real lull. There’s waves, sure, but they’re short-period, weak, and the wind is all over the place. Choppy, lumpy, crossed-up–not what you’re after.
The 29th is flat-out flat. No swell, no energy, nothing.
Sunday the 30th brings a bit of hope—4 to 5ft of northwesterly groundswell at 9 seconds, with a clean offshore north wind. The energy is picking up a little, but it’s still a marginal call. It’s rideable, but not a standout.
The next few days are more of the same—waist-high west-northwest swell with clean but weak conditions. You'll get some fun little ones in the mornings, but nothing that gets the heart rate up.
But then, hold on. Thursday, September 4th, the morning looks proper. We’re talking 7ft of northwest swell, short-period at 8 seconds, with a moderate offshore north wind. The energy reading jumps to 592—that’s the most push we’ve seen all stretch. At Azarujinha, a reef break, it should produce some solid, punchy waves. It won’t be super clean due to the short period, but this is the pick of the two weeks. The afternoon falls off a cliff, and the 5th is dead.
So, overall: a flat, frustrating start, then one standout session on Thursday morning, the 4th. Mark it in the calendar.
Water temp is about average for this time of year. No surprises there.

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.
Azarujinha is 2 km (1 miles) from Estoril. If you plan a holiday in Lisboa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Estoril. Estoril has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
