The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Embare has in store for us.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a long, lean start. We’re looking at a real quiet stretch from today, the 12th, all the way through to the morning of the 18th. That’s a solid six days with nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross, and the surf just isn’t there. It’s a proper waiting game.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Thursday the 18th of September. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – and we get a pulse of 5ft swell from the east. The period is a short 6 seconds though, so it’ll be a bit lackluster, but it’ll be clean. Unfortunately, that window is tiny, because it falls apart by the afternoon.
Then we get a few days of tiny, clean but mostly unexciting waves through the 19th and 20th. Glassy conditions on the 20th with a 2ft south-southeast swell, period stretching out to 12 seconds. It’s clean, but small.
Now, the real standout, and the only one I’m genuinely excited about, is a full week away. On the morning of Wednesday the 24th of September, we get a proper groundswell hitting. We’re talking nearly 8ft of south-southeast swell with a very long 17-second period. The combined energy is massive, and the wind is glassy. This is excellent surf, but a serious word of warning: that size and power is for experienced surfers only. The swell direction from the SSE is spot on for Embare’s optimum. The morning of the 25th will still be pumping with over 7ft and glassy conditions, so if you can handle it, that’s your window.
After that big pulse, things settle back down. The morning of the 26th sees a cleaner 4ft from the SSE with an offshore breeze, a nice option for the intermediates. Then it fades into smaller, messy conditions through the end of the period.
Bottom line: Don’t even bother for the first week. Wait for that big, clean groundswell on the 24th and 25th – that’s the real deal. The water temp is about 70.5°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

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.
