The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we've got on the table for the next couple of weeks.
First off, the water temp at Embare is sitting at 69°, which is a solid 2° warmer than usual for this time of year. Feels nice, a bit of a tropical treat.
Honestly, the outlook is a long, slow burn. We're looking at a real flat spell to kick things off. From Wednesday afternoon the 19th all the way through to Monday morning the 24th, it's pretty much a write-off. Tiny, weak swells with poor surf conditions. The combined energy is barely a whisper, sitting at a measly 37 (weak energy) on Wednesday afternoon, and it doesn't get much better for days. You're not missing a thing.
The first real flicker of life shows up on Monday afternoon, the 24th. The swell bumps up to 6 ft from the SSE with a period of 14 seconds, and the energy jumps to 1274 (strong wave energy). The problem is the wind is a messy cross-shore, making it choppy. It's merely a "marginal" call, so don't get your hopes up.
Things start to look a bit more promising on Tuesday the 25th. Tuesday morning is a standout. We've got a solid 5 ft swell from the south with a 14-second period, that's proper groundswell energy. The wind is glassy – dead calm – and the combined energy is pumping at 963 (strong wave energy). It'll be clean, but with that long period, it might be better on a point or reef than a beach break. Tuesday afternoon holds up too, with a 4 ft SSE swell and clean offshore winds from the NNE. That's a solid window of good surf.
After that, it's a slow fade. Wednesday the 26th morning has some clean 3 ft waves, but it's just "surfable." The rest of the week and into the next dips back into the doldrums with small, weak energy swells, poor conditions, and onshore winds. By the time we get to the 29th of August and into September, the combined energy drops back to two-digit numbers, often below 100 (weak energy). It's a bleak, flat finish to the outlook.
So, to wrap it up: don't bother paddling out until next week. Your one true window is Tuesday the 25th. That morning session is the pick of the bunch, with clean, glassy conditions and a decent south swell pushing through.

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.
