The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s brewing for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the 16-day window starts off a bit flat. The first real chance for a surf comes on Saturday the 5th, but it’s a tiny 1ft SE swell at Embare, with a cross-on wind and light rain. It’s pretty weak, and the combined energy is only 65, so don’t get your hopes up. That’s not one to chase.
The first genuine standout window is Sunday afternoon. The morning brings a messy, onshore 5ft+ SSE swell, but by the afternoon, the wind drops to glassy. We’ll see a 3ft SSE swell with a glassy surface. It’s not big, but it'll be clean. The combined energy is 155, so it’s a moderate little pulse. That’s a solid session for a shortboard.
Monday morning looks a bit of a write-off with cross-onshore wind and a 5ft SSE swell that’s just messy. The energy is high at 544, but the wind is ruining it. Monday afternoon is still cross-shore, so not great.
Now, Tuesday morning is the real highlight. The 8th of September. We’ve got a 5ft ESE swell, and the wind is completely glassy out of the NE. The combined energy is a strong 491, so there’s real power. That’s a beautiful, clean morning with punchy waves for the intermediate crew. The water temp is 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a bit of a treat.
Wednesday is small again, with 3ft SE swell, but it’s glassy so you can still get some fun ones. The rest of the week into the weekend is a slow fade with tiny, weak swells and poor conditions.
The second week looks pretty grim. There’s a pulse of 5ft SSW swell on the 13th, but it’s onshore and messy. No real standouts there. The next best chance might be Tuesday the 15th with a 4ft SSE swell, but it’s cross-on again. The 20th offers a little 4ft E swell with glassy morning winds, but it’s short period (6 seconds), so it’ll be a bit weak and crumbly. The energy is 276, so it’s moderate, but it’s a long way out.
In short, if you’ve got a window, Tuesday morning the 8th is your best bet. It’s not going to be pumping for the rest of the period, but that one clean glassy morning with 5ft of swell is worth getting up for.

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.
