Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Azarujinha over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The surf on offer Saturday the 5th is pretty ordinary – just 3ft of swell from the WNW with a short period of 9 seconds. The wave energy is weak (107), and the water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s not a total write-off because the wind is glassy in the morning, making it clean, but it’s not going to get the heart pumping.

The real action starts to build on Sunday the 6th. That morning is where it’s at. We’re looking at 4ft of swell from the NW with a long period of 12 seconds, giving us a solid groundswell feel. The energy jumps to 529 (moderate), and with a clean offshore breeze from the N, this is the standout of the whole forecast. The waves will be well-shaped, but that long period means it’s a bit better for the reef setup here – expect some nice lines. This is the one to circle. Sunday afternoon gets a bit windier, so get in early.

Monday the 7th keeps the goods coming. Morning session sees 5ft from the WNW, still with a 12-second period and a moderate offshore wind. The energy is even higher at 608. It’s solid, clean, and consistent. Afternoon gets a bit too blowy with a fresh offshore, but it’s still rideable for the keen.

We hit a dry spell after that. Tuesday the 8th through Saturday the 12th is mostly poor surf – small, weak, or messy. The swell drops to barely a ripple (0.7ft to 1ft) with low energy (10 to 40). There’s a tiny window on Thursday the 10th morning with a punchy 5ft from the NW again, but it’s a very short-lived spike and the wind is offshore, so you might get a couple of sneaky ones if you’re desperate.

The second week is pretty quiet. Sunday the 13th morning brings a small 2ft swell from the NW with a 12-second period and light offshore winds, good for a cruise if you’re bored. Energy is 221 (weak). After that, it’s a wasteland of small, wind-affected slop until about Thursday the 17th, when we see a minor pulse of 3ft from the WNW with a clean offshore wind – again, just a little knee-high runner.

The real standout of the entire 16-day window is hands down Sunday morning, September 6th. The combination of 4ft NW groundswell, 12-second period, and glassy offshore wind will make for the best, cleanest waves of the whole forecast. The energy is there (529), and the reef will handle the long period nicely. Don’t miss it.

Stay stoked, surfers.
