The Lowdown

Right, I’ve had a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks, and I’ll be honest with you – it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a solid run of clean conditions on the horizon, but the swell is going to be playing hard to get for a lot of it. The key is to pick the right window when the wind and the waves actually line up.

Let’s start with what’s happening now. For the next few days, it’s pretty flat and ordinary. Thursday and Friday mornings at Azarujinha are just tiny, with swell around 2ft to 3ft. The wind is offshore, so the surface is clean, but the energy is just too weak to get excited about. The combined energy is only 79 to 275 (moderate), so it’s really just a splash about.

Saturday morning, 22nd of August, is more of the same – 2ft from the west with a light breeze, clean but small. The afternoon gets a bit choppy with a cross-shore wind, so that’s not the one.

Sunday, the 23rd, and Monday, the 24th, see a bit of a bump in size, with swell hitting 6ft to 7ft, but the wind is onshore and cross-onshore, and the conditions are labelled as poor. The energy is moderate to strong (538 to 785), but it’s just messy. This is more of a kite-surfing situation than a paddle-surfing one.

The real standout starts to shape up from Wednesday, 26th of August. The morning is still small (4ft, 7-second period), but by the afternoon, the swell jumps to 5ft from the west-northwest with an 8-second period, and the wind goes light cross-offshore. The combined energy hits 318 (moderate), and the conditions are clean. That’s a solid session.

Then, Thursday, 27th of August, is the pick of the entire forecast. The morning has 5ft from the northwest with a 10-second period and a moderate cross-offshore breeze. The energy is strong at 575. But the afternoon is where it’s at – 6ft from the northwest, 10-second period, light cross-offshore wind, and the energy is very strong at 1096. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no shock there. This is a proper groundswell, and for a reef break like this, that’s going to give you some nicely shaped, punchy waves. The offshore wind will keep it clean. The crowds are listed as “often”, so expect some company – it’s worth it.

Friday, 28th, drops off a bit, with 5ft to 6ft but a cross-shore wind that’s going to chop it up. The morning of Saturday, 29th, has 4ft and a strong offshore wind, but the energy is weak (181), so it’s small and clean but not much power.

After that, we’ve got a gap. From Saturday afternoon through to Monday, 31st, the swell is small (2ft to 4ft) and the wind is strong offshore, making for clean but very weak surf. The energy barely breaks 199. It’s a few days of almost nothing.

The next hope comes on Tuesday, 1st of September. The morning shows 5ft from the northwest with an 11-second period and a moderate offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (465), and the conditions are good. This is a longer-period swell, which will give you some nice, lined-up waves, but it might be a bit straight for the beach breaks. For a reef, it’s a treat. The afternoon is similar but with a stronger wind, making it a bit more marginal.

Wednesday, 2nd of September, has 4ft in the morning and 6ft in the afternoon, but the afternoon has a strong cross-offshore wind that should keep it clean. The energy is strong (570), but it’s a bit more of a gamble with the wind.

From Thursday, 3rd, onwards, it just fades away. Swell drops to 3ft and below, with strong offshore winds. The energy is weak (52 to 129), and it’s just small and clean but not worth paddling out for.

So, to wrap it up: the absolute best window is the afternoon of Thursday, 27th of August. That’s your standout. The morning of the 1st of September is also a solid, promising option, but it’s further out, so treat it as a good prospect rather than a sure thing. The rest of the time, it’s either flat, windy, or too small. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because things can change, but right now, those two windows are the ones to circle on the calendar.

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.
