The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same stretch of water at Embare, but in feet and miles per hour.
The first few days are a write-off—poor, choppy, and not worth paddling out for. The first real chance to surf comes on Wednesday, August 12th. The morning brings some clouds, glassy conditions with a light wind from the S, and a swell of 4ft from the S with a 12-second period. The water is 70°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (528). Wednesday afternoon stays glassy, with the swell rising to 5ft from the SSE. This is the best surf of the first week: clean, solid, and right for an intermediate surfer.
Thursday the 13th offers a glassy morning again, but the swell drops to 3ft from the S with a 12-second period, making it a bit small and ordinary. The wind turns onshore in the afternoon, so get out early if you want a wave.
Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th both have glassy mornings with 3ft to 4ft S/SSE swell, but it’s nothing to write home about—just surfable. The standout is still Wednesday, August 12th. That’s the day: clean, glassy, moderate energy (592 in the afternoon), and a nice 5ft SSE swell at 12 seconds. It’s not huge, but it’s the cleanest you’ll see.
The second week drops off hard. From Sunday, August 16th onward, the swell fades and the winds get messy. There’s a glassy morning on Monday the 17th with 4ft from the SE, but the period drops to 9 seconds, weakening the wave. The rest of the week is a mix of poor conditions, chop, and tiny swell. By the 22nd and 23rd, the wave energy is weak (72 to 87), with small, short-period swell. It’s a real drought.
For beginners, Wednesday the 12th is fine—4ft to 5ft is manageable. Nothing gets over 5ft, so it’s all good for intermediates. The crowd factor at Embare is “sometimes,” so you might see a few others, but it won’t be packed.
So, bottom line: the best window is Wednesday, August 12th, with glassy conditions and a clean, consistent SSE swell. After that, the surf goes quiet. The forecast can change, but for now, that’s the one to aim for.
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.
