The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m looking at the charts for our local stretch. The outlook is a bit of a mixed bag. The early part of the week is a write-off; we’ve got cloudy skies, onshore wind, and small, choppy slop. Hold your horses. The light at the end of the tunnel is a strong pulse of groundswell arriving later, but you’ll have to be patient.
Alright, let’s get into it.
First up, Azarujinha. This reef setup has been getting smashed by moderate cross-shore winds and lacklustre swell all week. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Tuesday and Wednesday are a total loss. The wind is on it, and there’s just no energy.
Thursday is still no good – more cross-shore wind and a messy 7ft swell with short period. The combined energy is climbing (480), but the quality is zero. Not worth paddling out.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Friday morning, August 28th is the standout. We’re looking at a solid 8ft swell from the WNW with a period that’s stretched right out to 11 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is a massive 1447, which is a serious amount of water moving around. The wind goes light offshore from the NNE, turning it clean. This is going to be a powerful wave. If you’re not an experienced surfer, this is going to be too much. This is for the crew who can handle a genuinely meaty, clean reef wave.
Friday afternoon the wind picks up to 19 mph offshore, which still cleans it up, but the swell drops to 7ft and the energy eases. It’s still a good wave, just not the morning session.
Saturday morning, August 29th, is back to a more manageable 5ft NW groundswell with a moderate 12 mph offshore breeze. Clean lines, but less power. Not a standout, just a nice morning surf.
From Sunday the 30th through to early next week, the swell really backs off. The wind stays offshore, which is nice, but we’re looking at knee-to-waist high clean waves with very low energy. Surfable, but ordinary.
Then there’s a long gap of small, weak leftovers. On September 1st, the morning pulls up a 6ft NW swell with fresh offshore wind and solid energy (537), but the period is only 9 seconds, so it’s a bit of a bumpy, close-out feel. Marginal.
After that, it’s flat as a tack for days. The middle of the first week of September is dead calm with next to no swell energy coming through. We’re talking about a proper lull.
There is a tiny flicker late in the window – on September 8th and 9th, we see small, clean NW swells pop up in the 3ft to 4ft range with strong offshore wind. The energy is moderate, but the period is short. You might find a clean little one, but it’s nothing to get excited about. A long way off, and the forecast is uncertain for that far out.
Bottom line: The only real sure bet is Friday morning, August 28th at Azarujinha. That’s your session. Everything else is either windblown mush or marginal. It’s a blank run in the middle, but that Friday is a cracker. Hang on for that one.

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.
