The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve been poring over the charts for the coming weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows of proper clean surf if you play your cards right.
The pattern starts off with some decent but not perfect conditions, then we hit a bit of a flat, windy lull through the middle, before a promising pulse of long-period groundswell moves in at the very end of the outlook.
Thursday morning the 13th is the first real call to get wet. Head to Embare, and you’ll find clean, glassy 4ft SSE swell. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 71°, which is a nice bonus. Combined wave energy is moderate (516). The glassy winds mean those 13-second lines will be peeling nicely. Thursday afternoon stiffens up with onshore wind, so make it a morning session.
Friday the 14th is another glassy morning with 4ft SSE swell, same 13-second period. The skies are cloudy, but the surface is clean. A solid option for a quick paddle before the onshore kick in the afternoon.
Saturday the 15th is the first bump in size – 5ft SSE swell, but cross-shore winds start to chop things up, giving us moderate energy (948) but messy conditions. Not a standout.
We go through a long patch of ordinary to poor conditions from Saturday afternoon all the way through to Monday the 25th. There’s a brief flash on Sunday the 16th with a glassy morning and 5ft of short-period E swell (8 seconds, energy at 505), giving you a clean but weak wall. After that, it’s mostly moderate wind, weakening swell, and cross-onshore junk. The week of the 18th through the 24th is notably poor, with energy dropping to weak 2-digit values and onshore winds. It’s a real quiet spell.
The true standout lands on Tuesday morning the 25th. We get a proper pulse: 6ft S groundswell with a very long 13-second period. The wave energy jumps to very strong (1011), and the winds are glassy, making for an excellent forecast. This is the pick of the entire run for experienced surfers – those long lines will be powerful and clean.
The final highlight is Thursday morning the 27th. Again, a glassy start, with 6ft SSE swell but now with a 15-second period – that’s very long period groundswell, ramping the energy up to 1309. This is a big swell for experts. At a sheltered spot like Embare, the long period will wrap in nicely, giving you some hefty, clean sets. If you can handle the power, this is the absolute best morning of the 16 days.
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.
