The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Embare.
Look, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a real mixed bag. We’ve got a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions before anything worth getting excited about shows up. The first week and a half is mostly a write-off for any decent paddle, with a lot of poor surf and messy winds. The real action, if you can call it that, is tucked away in the second week, and even then, it’s not for everyone.
The first decent hint of anything comes on Saturday, August 1st, with a tiny 2 ft swell from the S, but it’s glassy in the morning. It’s only surfable, not good, and the combined energy is weak (112). That’s about as good as it gets for a while.
Then there’s a real dry spell. Nothing much happens until Tuesday, August 4th, when we get a little 2 ft S swell with a long 13-second period. The morning is glassy, and the energy is moderate (120), but it’s still just “surfable but very ordinary.” Not a standout.
The week drags on with similar small, messy swells. Then, out of nowhere, the forecast points to Tuesday, August 11th. That’s the one. In the afternoon, we’re looking at a 4 ft SSE swell with a very long 16-second period. The wave energy is strong (834), and the wind goes glassy. This is the standout of the whole period. The swell direction (SSE) is a good match for the spot’s optimum, and the clean conditions will make it a real treat. It’s a moderate size, so it’s fine for intermediates, but that long period means it’ll be a proper groundswell with plenty of punch. Expect clean lines at Embare.
The morning of the 11th has a similar 3 ft SSE swell with a 15-second period, but it’s a little more cross-on, so the afternoon is the call.
Things drop off again after that. Thursday, August 14th, offers a 4 ft S swell in the morning with a cross-off wind and decent energy (291), but it’s still only “surfable.” It’s a salvageable session if you’re desperate, but it’s no repeat of the 11th.
So, to sum it up: the first 10 days are a slog. The one and only true standout is the afternoon of Tuesday, August 11th. Mark it on your calendar. It’s a long way out, so it’s a promising call, but keep an eye on it. The rest of the window is just small, choppy, or onshore.
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.
