The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down for the next 16 days at Embare.
Honestly, this is a rough stretch. You're looking at a whole lot of nothing for most of it. There's a long quiet spell right at the start, and then only a couple of windows where it might be worth strapping in. Get ready for some patience.
From Tuesday 18th August through to the end of the month, it's basically flat to tiny. The water is sitting around 69°F, which is a touch warmer than what's normal for this time of year, but that's about the only interesting thing.
The one bright spot is Thursday morning, 27th August. We've got a 4ft groundswell from the SSE with a 14-second period, so it'll have some punch. The wind will be light offshore from the NNE, keeping it clean. The swell energy is moderate at 576, but because this spot is sheltered from the SSE, the waves might not be as powerful as expected. It's the best on offer by a long shot, but don't expect perfection.
After that, it fades back to tiny waves again. The only other one for the experienced crowd is Wednesday morning, 2nd September, with a 4.6ft SSE swell. But it's got a short 9-second period and a stiff 15 mph cross-shore from the ESE, making for a choppy mess. Definitely not for beginners.
So, mark your calendar for Thursday 27th August morning. The rest of this run is a bust. Forecasts can turn around, but right now it's a waiting game.

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.
