The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s in store for us at Embare over the next couple of weeks.
First off, things are pretty quiet right now. The surf is small and the conditions are just ordinary, so you’re not missing anything if you’re on the beach watching the clouds roll by. Sunday the 23rd has some small 4ft south swell with a 10-second period, but the wind’s going to get messy in the afternoon. Monday and Tuesday are also not worth paddling out for—the swell picks up a bit to around 5ft-6ft from the SSE, but it’s onshore and choppy, with light rain and generally poor surf.
Now, Wednesday the 26th morning is where we get a real standout. That early session is the best on offer across the whole period. We’ve got a solid 6ft SSE groundswell with a very long 16-second period, moderate wave energy (1438), and glassy conditions with a light NE wind. That’s the kind of morning that makes you glad you checked the forecast. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual. The swell is a bit big for beginners, but for intermediates and above, it’s clean and lined up. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
Thursday the 27th morning is a decent second option. Swell drops to 4ft from the SSE, still a long 14-second period, with a light cross-offshore breeze keeping things clean. Not as powerful as Wednesday, but still a good session if you missed the window.
Friday the 28th afternoon has a small pulse of 5ft east swell with a short 8-second period and glassy conditions. It’s rideable, but that short period makes it a bit weak and lumpy. Not a standout.
From Saturday the 29th all the way through to the end of the forecast, it’s pretty bleak. The swell drops right off—below 3ft most days, with very weak combined energy readings (often below 100), and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore. There’s a couple of cleaner moments on the 4th and 5th of September with a little 2ft south swell, but honestly, it’s not worth getting excited about. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf with no real options.
If you’re an intermediate or above, your best bet is Wednesday the 26th morning. That’s the highlight. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for the next system.
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.
