Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos). It’s a reef break suited for beginners, but the next couple of weeks are looking pretty average. The water temp is sitting around 81°, which is normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off. From Friday the 10th through to Thursday the 17th, it’s mostly poor surf conditions with a mix of rain showers and clear skies. The swell is small, around 3ft to 4ft, coming from the east at a short period of 6-7 seconds, so pretty weak energy (most days under 200 energy units). The wind is cross-off or cross-shore most of the time, but it’s not enough to save it. Honestly, that’s a long stretch of not much going on, about a week of flat to messy conditions.
Then we get a bit of a spark on Saturday the 18th. The morning has a marginal call with 5ft swell from the ESE, period jumping to 7 seconds, and the energy is moderate (213). The wind is light cross-off, so it’s clean. It’s not a standout, but it’s the first real chance to get wet. The afternoon gets more cross-shore chop, so the morning is your window.
The best of the forecast comes around Thursday the 23rd. The morning has a 5ft swell from the ESE with an 8-second period, and the energy is strong (458). That’s the biggest swell of the run, and it’s clean with cross-off winds. It’s still a short period, so it won’t be a classic groundswell, but for a beginner reef, it’s got some push. The water’s warm, and the break is very consistent, so you’ll get waves. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here sometimes.
The tail end of the 16 days, from the 24th and 25th, sees the swell drop back to 4ft to 4ft, and the energy fades. It’s back to marginal or poor, with the wind staying cross-off, so it’s clean but small.
Overall, if you’re a beginner looking for a clean session, Saturday the 18th morning is your early pick, but the real standout is Thursday the 23rd morning for the biggest swell and clean conditions. The rest is a bit of a patience game.
