The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks at Embare.
To be straight with you, the first week and a half is a tough watch. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing but tiny, weak energy and poor conditions. From Saturday the 1st right through to Sunday the 9th, it’s mostly flat or close to it, with onshore or cross-shore winds messing up what little bump there is. You’d be better off doing something else. The combined swell energy is stuck below 100 for most of that time, which is just too weak to get excited about.
Things start to get a pulse on Monday the 10th of August. The morning sees a jump in energy to 208, with a solid 3ft swell from the south at 11 seconds. The wind is light cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s a sign of life. Then Monday afternoon, it gets glassy with a 4ft south-southwest swell and energy hitting 309. That’s borderline surfable, but the conditions are still calling it “very ordinary.” It’s a tease.
The real action, and the only standout in this entire 16-day window, is shaping up for Saturday the 15th of August. The afternoon session is the one to circle on the calendar. We’ll have a 5ft south-southeast swell, a period of 13 seconds, and glassy, clean conditions. The combined energy is a solid 725, which is moderate but punchy enough for a fun wave. The offshore wind direction is NNE, which at Embare is a clean offshore, and the swell direction is south-southeast, which is right in the sweet spot for this sheltered spot. The water is sitting at 68°F, about normal for the time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit. This is a genuine window of good surf. Be aware that this spot is sheltered, so it won’t be huge, but it will be clean and rideable.
The days before that Saturday are messy. Thursday the 13th has some size, with a 6ft south swell in the morning, but the wind is onshore, and the energy is high at 893, but it’s not going to be clean. By Friday the 14th, the swell is still there, but the wind is howling from the south-southwest at 15 mph, making it choppy and ugly. So, that Saturday afternoon is truly the only game in town.
Beyond that, Sunday the 16th drops back down to small, weak swell with poor winds. So, the one bright spot is that Saturday afternoon. It’s not a massive swell, but it’s clean, and sometimes that’s all you need.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
