Alright mate, Rusty here, and I’m looking at Lajao on Baia dos Golfinhos – a beginner-friendly reef break that’s real consistent. But this forecast is a tough read. For the next 16 days, there’s no real standout. It’s a whole lot of “meh.”
Starting Friday July 3rd, we’ve got chest-to-head high surf around 6ft from the ESE with a 9-second period. The combined wave energy reads 507 (moderate), so there’s some grunt, but it’s not clean power. The wind is a stiff cross-offshore from the SE at 25 km/h, which keeps the faces tidy. Water temp is about normal for the time of year.
Saturday July 4th morning brings the biggest swell of the run – about 7ft from the ESE and energy jumps to 995 (moderate to strong). Period’s still 9 seconds. Wind drops to 20 km/h from the SSE, still cross-off, so it’s clean. That’s your best window. But the whole forecast is littered with “marginal” and “poor” notes. The swell fades Saturday afternoon to 5ft.
From Sunday July 5th through Wednesday July 8th, we’re stuck in a rut: 4ft to 6ft, mostly ESE swell, 7-9 second period, and moderate cross-off breezes. Energy dips as low as 171 (weak). Clean, but boring.
Then Thursday July 9th to Tuesday July 14th is a real flat spell. Swell drops below 3ft, period shrinks to 6-7 seconds, and energy is mostly under 130 (weak). Wind goes cross-shore from the east, adding a slight bump. That’s nearly a week of poor conditions.
A little bump shows up around Thursday July 16th and Friday July 17th, with swell climbing back to 4ft to 5ft from the east, period still 7 seconds, and energy around 211-263 (weak to moderate). Wind is cross-off from the SSE at 20-30 km/h, keeping it clean, but it’s still nothing to write home about. Saturday July 18th looks similar at 5ft and 8 seconds.
So here’s the truth: Lajao is a consistent little reef, but this forecast is a waiting game. The best shot is Saturday morning July 4th with that 7ft ESE swell (995 energy) and clean cross-off wind – a fun, manageable wave for beginners. After that, it’s flat and poor for a long stretch. Don’t force it.
Rusty.
