Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long, hard look at what Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) has cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. Now, I gotta be straight with you, this isn't shaping up to be a classic run. We’ve got a whole lot of days where the ocean is just... meh. But let’s break it down.

The first real chance to get wet doesn’t show up until Wednesday, 8 July. That morning we’re looking at chest-to-shoulder high swell around 4ft coming out of the ESE. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the south, which is a big tick for clean waves. The energy is moderate, sitting at 263 (combined energy). It's a short period swell of 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but for a beginner-friendly reef like this, that’s not the end of the world. It stays similar into the afternoon, 5ft and clean, but you’ll have to dodge some thunderstorms.

After that, we hit a dry spell. From Thursday, 9 July, right through until Monday, 20 July, conditions turn meagre. We get small waves, poor conditions, and cross or cross-off winds that just won’t let it clean up properly. It’s a long, frustrating gap with nothing really rideable for the keen surfer. You’d be better off doing something else.

Now, the long-range window around Monday, 20 July and Tuesday, 21 July finally shows some life, though it’s still a gamble this far out. On the 20th, the swell pushes into the 4-5ft range from the ESE again, with an 8 second period giving it a touch more push. The wind stays cross-off from the SE, keeping the surface clean. The energy is up into the moderate zone (236 on Monday afternoon). It’s labelled marginal, but for a patient soul, there’ll be some fun, workable waves. Tuesday morning on the 21st sees a spike in energy to 374, with 5ft surf – that's getting a bit punchy for the beginners, but the experienced crew will find some wedges.

Overall, if you’re hanging out for a surf, the best bet is Wednesday, 8 July for the cleanest, most consistent conditions. It’s not a world-beater, but it’s the standout in a pretty poor outlook. The second week holds some promise around the 20th-21st, but treat it as a hopeful guess for now. Crowds at Lajao? They can show up sometimes, but with this outlook, you might have the place to yourself.

Rusty.
