Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break down the outlook for Azarujinha. Coming straight off the data, here’s how the next couple weeks shape up for us.

The coming days start real small and a bit messy, but we’ve got a couple of building pulses to look forward to. The first standout window hits around Thursday the 17th, with a cleaner, punchier swell. The second, and honestly the bigger highlight, arrives way later for Friday the 25th, but it’s a long-range call.

Let’s start from the beginning. This first weekend into early next week is underwhelming. Friday the 11th afternoon is tiny, just a 0.7ft W swell with a cross-off NNW breeze at 12 mph. Combined energy is very weak at (10). Not worth paddling out for. Saturday the 12th morning cleans up a bit with a 2ft WNW swell and glassy NNE offshore wind at 3 mph. The energy is still low (57), but it’s surfable, just small and ordinary. Afternoon sees a minor bump to a 2ft WNW swell but a cross-off wind creeps in. Sunday the 13th morning gets a little more size at 3ft from the NW with a 13-second period, but the wind is a light cross-onshore from the SE. The energy climbs to (290), but that onshore component messes with the surface. Conditions improve Sunday afternoon with a 4ft NW swell, 12-second period, and a clean cross-off W breeze at 6 mph. This is the first real glimmer, with energy at (355), but still just average. Monday the 14th is a similar story: clean afternoon windows with a cross-off NW breeze. The water temp at this spot is sitting at 66°F which is about 3°F colder than usual for the time of year, so you’ll want a thicker wetsuit.

Tuesday the 15th drops off fast. Morning has a 2ft NW swell with a stiff offshore NNW wind at 12 mph, but energy is weak (95). That strong offshore breeze holds through to Wednesday, but the swell tanks to just 0.3ft. These days are a skip.

Now for the first real standout. Thursday morning the 17th. This is your best bet in the first week. We’ve got a clean 6ft NW swell, 11-second period, and a moderate offshore wind from the N at 12 mph. The combined energy jumps to a solid (704). It’s a short window though – by afternoon that swell plummets. This will be clean, fun, and proper for intermediate surfers. The offshore wind and moderate energy make for some nice, lined-up waves. Because it’s a reef break, that NW swell will wrap in nicely.

A gap follows with poor, tiny swell through the 18th, but then Saturday the 19th brings back some fun waves. Morning has a 6ft NW swell on a shorter 9-second period, with a gentle N offshore at 9 mph. Energy is strong at (478). Afternoon holds at 5ft with a moderate offshore. The period is a bit short, so those waves will be a little softer and more sectiony, but still clean and rideable all day. Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st continue that trend with clean offshores and chest-to-shoulder high surf in the 4ft to 4ft range, energy staying in the (291 - 457) range. Nice consistent run for a few days.

Midweek after that sees a bit of a lull, with the wind turning messy. Tuesday and Wednesday the 22nd and 23rd have marginal conditions with onshore or side-shore winds.

Now the long-range standout. Friday the 25th of September. This is the real heavyweight. We see a jump to a 8ft NW swell with a very long 14-second period in the morning, climbing to 8ft by the afternoon. Combined energy absolutely explodes to (2357 - 2364). This is serious groundswell. The afternoon looks mint with a clean, cross-off WNW breeze at 6 mph. For a reef break like Azarujinha, that long-period NW swell will wrap in beautifully and produce some proper, powerful lines. This is strictly for experienced surfers – at over 8ft on a reef, it’s not a day for beginners. The energy is immense, and those long-period sets will have plenty of punch. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but the signs are there.

Saturday the 26th comes in at a still-solid 6ft with clean conditions in the afternoon, a nice end to the outlook.

Overall, if you’re picking a winner for the next two weeks, Thursday the 17th is the early call for clean, fun surf. For the heavy hitters, Friday the 25th is the one to circle on the calendar – but wait for the short-range forecasts to lock it in.
