Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s going on with Azarujinha.

First off, the water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is just about normal for this time of year. The opening stretch is a write-off, I’m afraid. From now through Thursday the 27th, it’s all messy, choppy, and cross-shore wind with weak, short-period swell. Not worth paddling out for. We’ve got a few days of nothing much to work with here.

Then the first real standout arrives on Friday morning, the 28th of August. That’s when things finally click. A clean 8ft swell from the WNW with a period of 11 seconds, and the wind is gentle offshore from the north. The wave energy is pumping hard at 1474 (strong). That’s a solid, powerful groundswell, and with offshore winds it’ll be clean and lined up. It’s a reef break, so that period will really wrap in nicely. Heads up: at 8ft, this is for experienced surfers only. Beginners sit this one out.

Saturday the 29th morning still has some fun leftovers – 5ft NW swell, offshore winds, but the energy has dropped to 338 (moderate). It’s a good option for the intermediate crew, but it’s not the standout.

After that, from Sunday the 30th into early September, the surf fades away. There’s a long dry spell from Sunday afternoon right through to Wednesday the 2nd of September – tiny swell, short period, just not worth the hassle.

We get a little flare-up on Thursday the 3rd of September morning with 5ft from the NW, period 9 seconds, offshore wind, but it’s only marginal. The energy is 424 (moderate), but the quality is nothing special.

Then another huge gap hits – barely any surf from Friday the 4th through Saturday the 5th.

The next real standout is a long-range one, and it looks promising. Monday the 7th of September morning: 8ft NW swell, 12-second period, clean offshore wind from the north. The energy is massive at 1878 (very strong). That’s a powerful, long-period groundswell – again, best for experts. The reef setup will handle that period perfectly. Then Tuesday the 8th morning keeps the quality high with 7ft NW swell, clean offshore winds, and energy at 1335 (very strong). Excellent conditions for experienced surfers.

Wednesday the 9th of September morning brings a gentler, cleaner option with 4ft WNW swell, 11-second period, and light offshore winds. The energy is 718 (strong). This one opens up for intermediates as well. Nice way to wind down the run.

All in all, the two true standouts are Friday morning the 28th of August and Monday morning the 7th of September. Both are big, powerful, clean, and offshore – proper sessions for the experienced crew. The rest is mostly small, marginal, or flat.
