The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s brewing for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – this is a pretty bleak stretch of days for Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos). The first real bit of action doesn’t kick off until Tuesday the 21st of July, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some solid swell rolling in that morning, 7 ft from the SE with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is sitting at a moderate 955. The wind is a cross-off from the SSE, so the face should be clean. The problem is, this swell is predicted to be too big for this break. That’s a lot of water moving around for a beginner setup, so unless you’re comfortable out there, it might be a day to watch.
The real standout in this whole forecast, and the only one I’d really get excited about, is the Wednesday morning of the 3rd of August. Now, that’s a while away, but it’s showing promise. The swell is 6 ft from the ESE, with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 698 – a solid, moderate push. The winds are cross-off from the SE, keeping things clean. Given that this break is exposed and very consistent, and the swell direction is close to the optimum NE, this could be the best wave of the window. The water is a warm 81°, which is about normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The rest of the time? It’s pretty grim. Between Tuesday the 21st and the 3rd of August, it’s a long slog of small, weak, short-period junk. Most days you’re looking at 2 ft to 5 ft, with periods of 6 to 8 seconds, and combined energy that rarely cracks 300. The wind is mostly cross-off, but the waves just aren’t there. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July offer a slight bump up to 5 ft, but the period is still a weak 6 or 7 seconds, and the energy is only moderate at best. The comments are all "poor surf conditions" or "marginal," which tells you everything you need to know.
So, for the best bet: hold out for the 3rd of August. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only day that looks like it’ll offer a proper, clean wave. The rest of the time, you’re better off checking the forecasts again or just enjoying the beach.
Rusty.
