Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. Look, I'm gonna be straight with you—the next couple of weeks at Azarujinha are a mixed bag, with a long quiet spell before a real beauty of a window shows up. It's a reef break, fairly consistent, and it's exposed to the swell. The water's sitting at 68°, which is pretty much bang on normal for this time of year.

The first few days are small and ordinary. Wednesday the 2nd has some tiny 2ft waves from the NW with a short 8-second period, and the energy is weak (63). The wind is offshore from the NNW, so it's clean, but there's just not enough push to get excited about.

Thursday the 3rd is even smaller, with 1ft to 2ft waves, and the wind is cross-offshore, making it feel messy for what little there is. Friday the 4th sees a bit of a lift with 2ft waves on the glassy morning—that's the best of this early stretch, but it's still just surfable, not memorable.

We get a bump on Saturday the 5th morning with 3ft and glassy conditions, and the energy climbs to 112 (moderate), but it's still not breaking out. Saturday afternoon jumps to 4ft from the NW with energy at 333, but the wind swings cross-off, and it's marked as marginal.

Now, Sunday the 6th morning is where things start to look up. We've got 4ft of NW swell, and the period stretches to 12 seconds—that's a proper groundswell. The energy is solid at 401, and the wind is offshore from the NNW. That's a clean, lined-up reef wave for intermediates. The afternoon gets messy with a 15 mph cross-off wind, so hit the morning session.

Monday the 7th has consistent 4ft to 5ft waves, with a 12-second period and a stiff 19–22 mph offshore wind from the NNW. That's a fresh offshore breeze, and while it'll keep the waves clean, it's a handful to paddle into. The energy is pushing 541, so there's power, but it's marginal for most.

Then we hit a wall. From Tuesday the 8th afternoon through to the end of the second week, it's basically flat. Tuesday the 8th has zero swell. The 9th and 10th have tiny 0.7ft leftovers. The 11th, 12th, and 13th are all below 2ft with poor conditions. It's a long, dry gap of about four to five days with nothing worth paddling out for.

But hold onto your board, because Monday the 14th is the standout. The morning brings 6ft of WNW swell with a very long 14-second period, and the energy is massive at 1321. The wind is glassy—dead calm. That's a clean, powerful reef wave, but at 6ft, it's getting into expert territory, especially for a reef setup. The afternoon is even bigger at 7ft, still with a 13-second period and energy at 1556, but the wind is cross-offshore from the NW. This is the best on offer by a long shot—big, clean, and powerful. Crowds are often here, so expect company.

Tuesday the 15th morning still has 6ft and a 13-second period, with light offshore wind from the N. The energy is 991, so it's still solid, but the afternoon gets windy with a 19 mph offshore, making it harder to manage. The 16th and 17th drop back to 4ft and below, with strong offshore winds that'll keep things clean but small.

So, the play is clear: sit tight through the early small stuff and the flat spell, then be ready for that Monday the 14th into Tuesday the 15th window. That's the real deal.

Rusty.
