The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast for Embare is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly messy surf. The water temp is sitting at a notable 72°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The first real chance of anything rideable isn’t until Thursday the 17th of September, but even then it’s a marginal call. That’s a solid four-day gap with no surf worth paddling out for. Thursday morning offers up 4ft swell from the SSE with a moderate combined energy of 418, but the cross-shore breeze is gonna leave it a bit bumpy. Thursday afternoon builds a bit more with 4ft from the SSE, a 12-second period, and energy jumping to 510, but the wind swings cross-shore again and it’s not looking clean.
Friday the 18th of September is probably the pick of the whole run. Morning brings 5ft of short-period E swell, but the real story is the glassy conditions – dead calm wind. Combined energy sits at 391, so there’s some push, but the 7-second period means it’ll be a bit fat and crumbly. Still, if you want a surf, this is it. Friday afternoon drops to 2ft from the south with a longer 11-second period and stays glassy, but it’s small.
Saturday the 19th of September morning stays glassy with a tiny 2ft from the south, energy down to 143 – barely a ripple. Then we hit another dry spell. Sunday the 20th is flat, Monday the 21st offers 3ft from the SE with glassy conditions in the morning, but combined energy is only 114, so it’s a struggle. Tuesday and Wednesday are poor again.
Now, here’s the late call – Monday the 28th of September. This one’s promising but less certain this far out. Monday morning sees 5ft from the SSE with a 9-second period and combined energy of 476. Winds are light cross-onshore. Monday afternoon though... that’s the standout. Swell jumps to 6ft from the SSE with a very long 15-second period and combined energy of 2465. That’s a proper groundswell. The wind stays light cross-onshore, so it won’t be perfect, but the size and energy are there. Keep in mind, at over 5ft it’s getting a bit much for beginners, and with that long period it’ll be better at a point or reef – Embare is sheltered, so it might actually handle it okay. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
Overall, it’s a bleak first week, then a flicker of hope at the very end. Don’t hold your breath, but check back closer to the 28th.
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.
