The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, straight up, we've got a bit of a mixed bag at Embare. The water is sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The main issue is that the swell's coming from the south-southeast, but this spot is sheltered, so it's never going to be a powerhouse. The early part of the run is pretty ordinary, with a lot of small, weak, and choppy conditions. We've got a few glassy windows in the mornings, but the wave heights are puny.
The best chance of a decent wave actually comes much later, on Monday the 24th of August. The morning and afternoon both show a solid 6ft swell from the SSE with a period of 13 seconds. That's a proper groundswell with good energy. The catch is the wind is cross-onshore, so it won't be perfect, but it's the biggest and most powerful swell of the whole period. For a sheltered spot, this is about as good as it gets. The swell direction is right on the money for what this break likes.
The week before that is a write-off. There's nothing really rideable from the 14th through to the 22nd, with tiny waves and poor conditions. Keep an eye on that Monday the 24th, and maybe the Tuesday the 25th morning, which still has a 4ft swell from the south with a 12-second period, but the wind is cross-shore. It's not a classic, but it's the only window where you'll get a wave worth paddling for.
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.
