The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for us.
Overall, we’re looking at a pretty slow start for Embare. The first few days are a write-off, so don’t bother waxing up just yet. There’s a decent pulse of swell coming through later in week one that’ll be the real standout, but it takes a while to clean up.
Friday, the 21st, is a no-go. It’s small and messy with a 1ft cross-onshore wind. Not worth a look. Saturday and Sunday are still nothing to get excited about. We get a few small waves on Saturday around 4ft, but the wind is cross-on. Sunday morning, the 23rd, shows some potential with glassy conditions and 4ft of swell from the SSE with a period of 10 seconds, but the wave energy is weak (239).
Monday, the 24th, brings a jump in size to 5ft, but it’s accompanied by light rain and cross-onshore wind. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Now, here’s the standout. Tuesday, the 25th of August, morning session is the one to circle. We’ve got 5ft of SSE swell with a 14-second period, delivering very strong wave energy (1124). The wind is glassy – dead calm – so it’ll be absolutely clean. This is a classic long-period groundswell, so expect well-shaped, powerful lines but with longer waits between sets. Perfect for the more experienced surfer. Wednesday morning, the 26th, is almost as good with 5ft of 16-second swell (very long period), glassy conditions, and very strong energy (1107). For any surfers with a bit of experience, Tuesday morning is the best of the bunch.
After that, the week tapers off. Thursday the 27th is still rideable with cleaner winds in the morning but smaller. Friday the 28th onwards, the energy drops right off again. The second week shows a few flickers – like Thursday morning, September 3rd, with 5ft and clean offshore winds – but nothing that comes close to that Tuesday/Wednesday peak. A couple of glassy mornings early in September offer smaller, slower waves for cruising.
So, the long and short of it: grit your teeth through the first few days, and be ready for Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th. That’s the real deal.
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.
