The Lowdown
Alright, let me give you the lowdown in feet and all that.
The beginning of the forecast is pretty quiet. The first decent waves show up on Friday afternoon, July 17th, at Embare. It’s a sheltered little nook. You’re looking at waves around 2-3ft from the ESE, with a period of 10 seconds. Wind’s out of the east at about 9 mph, giving you a clean cross-off breeze. The wave energy’s moderate at 211. Water temp is 66°, right around average for this time of year.
Saturday the 18th has a clean morning session: offshore wind from the north at 6 mph. Same 2-3ft swell, but the period drops to 9 seconds. Energy is 110, still moderate. It’s surfable but nothing special.
From Sunday the 19th through Monday the 20th, the swell drops to 2ft or less and energy’s weak. A few days with nothing worth paddling out for.
Tuesday the 21st is glassy in the afternoon, but the swell is barely 2ft. Not enough to get excited.
Wednesday the 22nd through Sunday the 26th is mostly poor. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, swell stays small, and energy stays low.
Monday the 27th brings a glimmer: glassy morning, 2-3ft south swell with a 12-second period. Energy hits 210 (moderate). The morning of Tuesday the 28th sees a long-period 14-second SSE swell, but it’s only about 2ft. Not the day.
The real standout is Friday the 31st of July. Morning is glassy, with a 4-5ft SE swell, period of 9 seconds, and energy of 637 (strong). The afternoon is also glassy, with a 4ft SSE swell, 12-second period, and energy of 804 (strong). That’s the best session on offer.
Saturday the 1st of August is also good: glassy, 3-4ft swell, moderate to strong energy. A solid option for the weekend, but that Friday is the one.
Embare doesn’t break often, so catching a good window like Friday the 31st is a treat. Get on it.

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.
