The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up at Embare for the next couple of weeks.
The first few days are a bit flat and sloppy. Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd have light cross-onshore wind and small, weak swell – combined energy sitting between 232 and 402. Not worth paddling out.
Monday the 24th brings a size jump to 2–1.8m from the SSE with a 14-second period, and combined energy jumps to 1092–1251. That’s good groundswell, but the wind stays cross-onshore, making it messy. Marginal at best.
Here’s the good stuff. Tuesday morning the 25th is the highlight of the early run. Glassy conditions, 1.6m SSE swell with a 14-second period, and combined energy of 962. Clean, powerful, long-period groundswell. Paddling will be easier between sets, but longer period swells can run a bit straight on a beach break. Best for intermediate and above.
Wednesday afternoon the 26th is a cracker too. Glassy wind, 1.6m SSE swell at 16 seconds, and combined energy of 1245. That’s very good surf – expert level for size, beginners should stay on the sand.
Thursday 27th morning stays glassy with 1.3m but smaller. Still clean.
From Friday the 28th all the way through to Monday the 31st, the swell drops under 1m and energy falls to double digits – mostly poor to flat. That’s a long gap.
Tuesday the 1st of September afternoon offers a clean offshore with 0.9m SSE and 151 energy – surfable but nothing special.
The first week of September stays small and onshore until Friday the 4th of September shows a couple of good windows. Morning: 1.2m S swell, 12 seconds, clean light offshore wind, 438 energy. Afternoon: 1.2m SSE, 12 seconds, glassy calm, 452 energy. Both are good clean intermediate surf, but being over a week out, keep an eye on it.
Best bets: Tuesday the 25th morning and Wednesday the 26th afternoon. That’s the pick of the fortnight. Water’s about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
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.
