The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got coming up for Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos).
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of mostly poor surf conditions. There's a real gap here for the first week and a half where I wouldn't even bother paddling out unless you just want a float. From September 14th through most of the 22nd, the conditions are consistently rated as poor. The winds are almost always a cross-off or cross breeze, but the swell is small and short-period, with a combined energy that mostly sits under 200. That’s weak, gutless stuff.
The only time we see a glimmer of something half-decent is on Saturday, September 19th. The guidance says it’s a marginal call, likely due to tide, but it’s the best we get. You’re looking at a clean 5ft swell from the E, with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy climbing to 213. The morning has a moderate cross-off breeze from the ESE, so the surface should be clean. It’s not pumping, but it’s the standout by a mile.
Now, for the water temp: it’s sitting around 81°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Don’t expect a rubber suit.
Don’t get your hopes up for the second week either. Towards September 24th, we get a glimpse of a longer period swell at 11 seconds, which is a groundswell, but the heights drop right off to 2ft and the wind turns cross or even slightly onshore. That’s a tease, not a treat. The combined energy also drops, so it won’t have any punch.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, aim for that Saturday the 19th. Otherwise, this is a blank run for Lajao. Forecasts can change, but right now, it looks pretty lean.
Rusty.
