Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what Azarujinha has in store over the next couple of weeks. It's a slow starter, but we've got some strong windows if you can wait.

Right off the bat, the beginning of the period is weak. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th offer tiny, knee-high waves with combined swell energy of only 259 and 110. Not worth paddling out. The wind is offshore on Tuesday morning, but the swell is just too small.

Then we hit a real flat spell. From Wednesday the 16th through Friday the 18th, the energy levels are laughable—single digits and barely reaching double figures. It's a frustrating gap. Things perk up a bit on Friday afternoon with a 2ft NW swell (163 combined energy) and clean offshore winds, but it's still a pretty ordinary wave.

Now, let's get to the good stuff. The standout window is from Saturday the 19th through to Monday the 22nd. Saturday morning delivers a solid 8ft NW swell with a long 14-second period. The combined energy is a massive 2210, so there's serious power. That's expert-only territory—too big for beginners. The wind is light cross-shore, which might ruffle the surface a bit. But keep an eye on Monday afternoon, September the 21st. That's the pick of the week. We're looking at a 7ft NW swell with a 14-second period, 1575 combined energy, and cross-offshore winds from the NW. That's clean, powerful, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. The optimum swell direction for Azarujinha is from the SW, so this NW groundswell is a bit off-angle, but the size and clean wind make it a serious option. It's a reef break, so that long-period groundswell will really line up.

Tuesday the 22nd morning is also a gem, dropping to 5ft NW, still with a solid 12-second period, and glassy conditions from the NE. That's clean, manageable for intermediates, and much more user-friendly.

After that blast, it settles down for the second week. Wednesday the 23rd is flat again. There's a modest pulse of 6ft WNW swell on Friday the 25th (around 1114 combined energy), but the wind is light cross-onshore, so it won't be pristine. The later part of the window into the 28th and 29th sees clean offshore winds, but the swell is inconsistent and the energy is moderate. It's promising but less certain.

So for my money, lock in Monday the 21st afternoon at Azarujinha. That's the one with the size, the power, and the clean offshores. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so a shorty or a spring suit will do you fine.
