The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch to feet and miles per hour.
Right now, for this area, it’s a slow start. Azarujinha is a reef break, and the first few days are barely a ripple. September 15th through the 18th, you’re looking at waves around 1ft or less, with strong offshore winds up to 22 mph making it a battle just to get out. The combined wave energy is weak, in the single or double digits.
Things pick up Saturday the 19th. Morning swell hits about 6ft out of the NW, with energy around 1228, but a light cross-shore wind keeps it a bit messy. Saturday afternoon pushes to 7ft from the NW, energy up to 1596, but still a cross-shore breeze. That size is getting solid for intermediates only.
Sunday the 20th afternoon is the first clean-ish window: 5ft NW swell, 11-second period, with a clean cross-offshore wind. That one will have some shape.
The standout is Wednesday 23rd September. Morning is dead calm – glassy – with a 5ft WNW groundswell, 14-second period, and energy reading 933. That’s smooth, lined-up, and perfect for the reef. The afternoon follows with 5ft and clean conditions.
Monday 21st afternoon is also a good shout: 5ft NW swell, 12-second period, clean. Crowds are likely here often, so get early.
Later in the month, Monday 28th September morning is also glassy with 5ft WNW swell and good energy at 670.
Long-range around the 29th and 30th the winds turn offshore again but get strong – 19 to 28 mph – making it hard work to paddle into dropping swell.
Water temp is about 66°F, a couple degrees cooler than usual, so bring a thicker wetsuit.
So the call is: quiet until late in the first week. Sunday afternoon the 20th gets clean, but the real winner is Wednesday 23rd September – glassy, 5ft, offshore. That’s your day.

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.
