The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is – this stretch for Embare is a rough one. Surf is inconsistent, and most days are blown out or just plain small. You won’t see anything worth paddling out for until Thursday the 27th of August, so don’t bother before that. And after that, there’s a big gap of days where you’re better off doing something else.
Thursday morning, August 27th, that’s the one window that shines. Clear skies, a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE at 3 mph, and a clean 5ft SSE swell with a very long period of 15 seconds – proper groundswell. The combined energy is moderate at 1034, so there’s some punch. Water temperature is 70°, which feels a bit warmer than usual. That long period means nice shaped waves, especially since Embare is sheltered. It can get crowded sometimes, so beat the rush. This is your highlight – don’t miss it.
Thursday afternoon falls apart quick: wind shifts ESE at 9 mph, cross-shore, swell drops to 4ft, and conditions go marginal with cross-chop.
Friday the 28th morning shows 5ft from the east, but it’s short period – only 7 seconds – and while energy is moderate at 426, it’s windswell junk. Cross-off wind keeps it clean but flat. Afternoon goes to 2ft cross-onshore slop.
From Saturday the 29th of August all the way through Wednesday the 2nd of September, it’s tiny, weak, or onshore. A few glassy moments – Saturday afternoon has a glassy 4ft east swell, and Tuesday morning has light cross-off with 4ft from the south – but each is ordinary, with energy between 81 and 261. Not worth the walk.
Thursday September 3rd sees a 5ft SSE swell with 10 second period and energy of 496, but a cross-shore wind at 16 mph chops it up. That setup looks more like a kite day than a paddle day.
Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of September both have glassy mornings with 3ft swell – clean but weak. After that, from the 6th to the 11th of September, it’s a long run of onshore junk, tiny waves, and energy often under 200. Friday the 11th finishes with 4ft onshore slop and energy of 180 – just ugly.
Bottom line: Thursday morning, August the 27th, is your one true standout. Glassy 5ft groundswell at Embare – that’s the session. Everything else is a waiting game. It won’t stay this dead forever, so keep checking.
Rusty.

Information about the Embare Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Embare provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Embare can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Embare 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 (Embare) 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 Embare 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.
Embare is 8 km (5 miles) from the city of Praia Grande. If you plan a holiday in São Paulo, look for hotels and other accommodation in Praia Grande. Praia Grande has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
