Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about what’s happening at Azarujinha. To be honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty darn quiet. It’s one of those stretches where you’ve got to be patient. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real sniff of anything surfable comes on the morning of Wednesday the 29th, but it’s tiny. You’re looking at a weak 1.0ft from the WNW with a period of 11 seconds. The wind is a gentle offshore from the NNW, so it’s clean, but honestly, the wave energy is barely a whisper (26). It’s not really worth paddling out for.

Thursday morning the 30th is a little better, with a 2ft swell from the WNW. The wind is still offshore and clean, but the energy is still weak (54). The waves are just very ordinary. The same goes for Friday morning the 31st and Saturday morning the 1st of August – little bumps of 1.0ft to 2ft, clean but gutless. We’re just ticking over.

The week rolls on with similar tiny conditions. The morning of the 4th of August sees a bump to 3ft from the WNW, with a short period of 8 seconds. The energy picks up a notch (147), but it’s still just “surfable” at best. The wind is light and cross-off, so it’s clean, but the waves are pretty weak for a beach break.

The standout, if you can call it that, would be the morning of the 5th of August. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind is a moderate offshore from the NNW, making for clean conditions. The energy is moderate (146). It’s still not going to blow your mind, but it’s the cleanest and most consistent of the run. The wave direction matches the optimum for the reef (SW), so the lefts might have a touch more shape.

After that, the swell fades away badly. The 6th through the 8th of August are a write-off with tiny waves and poor energy. The 9th of August morning gives a last gasp of 3ft from the WNW, but by the afternoon the wind is howling offshore at 19 mph, and then the swell dies completely. From the 10th of August, it’s flat with nothing but strong offshore winds.

The 12th of August sees a bit of a bump return, with 3ft from the NW on the morning, but the period is super short (7 seconds), making for weak, crumbly surf. The wind stays offshore, so it’s clean, but it’s not exciting.

Honestly, for the next 16 days, there’s no real standout. The best bet is the morning of the 5th of August, but even that’s just a “surfable” day. If you’re desperate, you could get a few fun ones on the left off the reef with a clean wind, but don’t expect much. With the wind being offshore for most of the good windows, the breaks will be clean, but the lack of any real swell size or energy means it’s a waiting game.
