The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the charts for the next 16 days, and honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch for the region. The only break on the radar is Hawaiizinho, and the whole window is filled with poor surf conditions. The combined wave energy tops out at just 296 (moderate), and most days it’s sitting in the low 100s to 200s, which is weak to moderate at best. The swell is coming from the east, mostly 4 ft to 6 ft, with a short period of 6–7 seconds, so it’s disorganised windswell, not any real groundswell. The water temperature is 81°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Right now, on Saturday the 15th, the morning shows 5 ft east swell, 6-second period, with a cross-shore ESE wind at 16 mph. It’s lumpy and messy. That’s the theme for the whole first week. The mornings are often a bit cleaner with a cross-off direction from the SE, but the swell energy is still weak and the period is short. The afternoons are always cross-shore, lumpy, and chopped out. There’s nothing that stands out as worth paddling out for.
The closest we get to a highlight is on the morning of the 17th—Monday morning—with a bit of a cross-off SE wind at 16 mph, 5 ft east swell, 7-second period, and combined energy of 296. That’s the highest energy of the whole run, but it’s still poor surf conditions. The wind is better, but the swell is still short-period and messy. Not a standout.
The second week, from the 22nd onward, is even weaker. Swell drops to 4 ft–5 ft, periods stay at 6–7 seconds, and the energy falls into the 100s. The mornings do have a bit of cross-off breeze on the 26th, but it’s a fresh breeze and the swell is just 5 ft with a 7-second period. Not enough to get excited about.
Honestly, there’s no good surf in this 16-day window. Hawaiizinho is a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but with this short-period east swell and cross-shore winds, it’s not going to deliver. The water is a touch warmer than usual, but that doesn’t help the waves. If you’re a kite surfer, the setup might be more interesting with these steady cross-shore winds, but for paddle surfing, it’s a blank run. The forecasts can always change, but right now, I’d say leave the boards at home.

Information about the Hawaiizinho Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hawaiizinho provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hawaiizinho can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hawaiizinho 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 (Hawaiizinho) 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 Hawaiizinho 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.
Hawaiizinho is 3 km (2 miles) from Paracuru. If you plan a holiday in Ceará, look for hotels and other accommodation in Paracuru. Paracuru has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
