Azarujinha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in from the beach. Grab your board, let's have a look at the next few weeks for Azarujinha.

Honestly, it's a bit of a dry spell kickin' things off here. We've got a good stretch of small, weak, and messy cross-off wind conditions that just aren't gonna give us anything worth paddlin' out for. You're lookin' at a solid week of tiny, poor surf straight through from Wednesday the 22nd right up to the end of July. The swell energy is weak, mostly single and low double-digit figures, and that northwest wind just won't let up. The water temp is sittin' at 69°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so nothin' special there. It’s a real bummer, but these things happen.

Now, hold on a sec. Things start to look a little different come Saturday the 1st of August. We see a bit of a lift with swell energy hittin' moderate figures around 176, but the wind is still cross-off, so the conditions are still poor. Sunday the 2nd though, that’s where we might finally get a bit of action. The waves are gonna push up to about 6ft from the NW, with a combined energy jumpin' up to a solid 299. The wind is still cross-off, but it's a light breeze so the face should be clean. It's not a stand-out by any stretch, but it's the first real pulse we've seen in a week. Monday the 3rd has similar swell size around 5ft, but the period drops right off to a short 6 seconds, which means it'll be weak and crumbly, and not great for the lineup. Tuesday the 4th brings in an offshore breeze, so the morning will be clean, but the swell is back down to 3ft while the energy is still moderate at 161. The real standout toward the end of the run is Tuesday afternoon, with a jump to 5ft swell from the NW, a period of 9 seconds, and a fresh offshore wind that will really groom the waves, plus energy of 338.

So, for the whole forecast, the absolute best moment to be at Azarujinha is likely Tuesday afternoon, August the 4th. You’re lookin’ at a solid 5ft of NW groundswell, with a nice 9-second period that should give it some shape. The wind will be a fresh offshore from the NNW, keepin’ it clean and lined up. This reef break is fairly consistent and 'posed to be best with a SW swell, so this NW direction is a bit off its best, but when it’s the most powerful pulse of the whole two weeks with the cleanest conditions, you get in the water. Go early afternoon to catch the best of the light breeze. This is the one to circle on your calendar.

After that, Wednesday the 5th will have similar energy but the wind switches back cross-off, makin' it a bit messy again. All in all, it’s a tough couple of weeks with a lot of down time, but there's at least one solid chance to get wet. Keep an eye on the sky, 'cause the long-range stuff is always a bit dicey, but that Tuesday afternoon looks like the pick of the litter.

Rusty.
