The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
First thing’s first: we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The only break on the radar is Embare, and for the first week and a half, it’s pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at a long run of tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. From the 29th of July right through to the 10th of August, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is puny, mostly under 2 feet, and the wind is all over the place – cross-on, choppy, or just plain messy. There’s a couple of glassy mornings in there, but the wave energy is so low (combined energy mostly under 100) that you’d be bobbing around on barely a ripple. It’s not your time.
Then, finally, things start to wake up. The first real glimmer comes on the morning of Saturday, 1st August. We get a glassy morning at Embare with a 2ft swell from the south, and the combined energy climbs to 127 (moderate). The water is about 68°, which is pretty average for this time of year. It’s surfable, but still very ordinary. The real standout, though, is what’s coming.
The best bet in this whole 16-day window lands on Tuesday, 11th August. The afternoon session at Embare is the true highlight. The swell jumps to 6ft out of the SSE, with a combined energy of 450 (strong). The wind goes glassy, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the one you want to circle on the calendar. That size is pushing into intermediate territory, but with that clean, glassy wind, it’ll be a fun, punchy wave. It’s a beach break, so the SSE swell direction should line up nicely. Just keep in mind, with that energy, it might get a bit much for beginners.
The following morning on Wednesday, 12th August is a step down, with a 4ft SE swell and cross-shore wind, but it’s not the same quality. The Thursday morning, 13th August is another solid option – 3ft from the south, glassy, and strong energy (515). That’s a close second to the 11th, but the 11th is the clear winner.
So, to sum it up: you’ve got a long, flat, poor stretch until the 11th of August. That Tuesday afternoon is the standout. If you can wait, it’ll be worth it. Otherwise, you’re just looking at the ocean.
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.
