Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, mate, it’s looking pretty flat and uninspiring for the most part. The first proper surfable waves I can see are around Sunday the 5th, but don’t get too excited. We’ve got a long stretch of very ordinary conditions ahead, with a few brief moments that might just be worth a paddle.

The only spot worth talking about is Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos). It’s a beginner-friendly reef break that’s very consistent, but with the wind howling cross-off from the SE and SSE almost the whole time, it’s rarely gonna be clean. The water temp is bang on average for this time of year, sitting at 81°F, so no surprises there.

From Sunday afternoon the 5th, we’ve got some small, weak swell bumping in. Around 4ft from the east, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 236, but that cross-off wind at 12 mph is going to mess with the shape. It’s a marginal call at best. Monday the 6th sees a bit more energy – 452 combined on the morning – but the swell is jumbled from the SE and the period’s still a miserable 8 seconds. The winds are up to 16-19 mph, so it’ll be bumpy and nasty.

We limp through the week with swell heights hovering around 3ft to 5ft, but the period drops to 6-7 seconds, and the energy fades quickly after Monday. The winds stay stubbornly cross-off or cross, never giving us that glassy, offshore window we’re craving. Wednesday the 8th has light rain with a gentle breeze, but the swell is weak (281 energy) and short period – just messy.

There’s a brief glimmer on Thursday the 9th morning: clean conditions with a gentle SSE breeze, but the swell is only 3ft at 6 seconds, and energy is down to 100. It’s surfable, but only just. After that, it’s a long, dull run. From Friday the 10th all the way through to Saturday the 18th, the wave comment is “poor surf conditions” or “very ordinary” with scores of 0 or 1. Swell sizes stay between 3ft and 5ft, but the period never gets above 8 seconds, and the winds are rarely favourable.

Even by Monday the 20th, we’re still stuck with 5ft easterly swell and a period of just 8 seconds – combined energy of 280 – but the winds are back up to 16-19 mph from the SE. It’s just not happening.

There’s no standout session here, no day to circle on the calendar. If you’re desperate, maybe Thursday the 9th morning at Lajao gives you the smallest of windows, but honestly, this is a long, quiet spell. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one with all this cross-off wind and short-period chop. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, I’d leave the board at home.

Information about the Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) 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 (Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos)) 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 Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) 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.
