The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days look pretty average for Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos). There’s no real standout session, and a lot of the time the conditions are just ordinary. The water temperature is sitting at 80°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Friday morning, 31st July. Early on, we’ve got a 3 ft swell from the east, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (112). The wind is a light breeze from the southeast, keeping things clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The swell is a bit short period, so don’t expect much push.
From there, we roll into a weekend with a little more height but the wind picks up. Saturday morning, 1st August, sees 5 ft from the east, period 8 seconds, and energy is moderate (278). Wind is a moderate southeast breeze, cross-off, so the surface is clean. It’s still not great, though – the wave quality is poor.
The run from 31st July through to 10th August is a string of marginal to poor conditions. There’s a bit of a pulse on Wednesday, 5th August, when the swell hits 6 ft from the east-southeast, period 8 seconds, and energy jumps to 380 (moderate). But the wind is fresh from the southeast, and the wave comment calls it poor. Not worth getting excited about.
The biggest swell of the window shows up on Friday, 7th August, with 7 ft from the east-southeast, period 8 seconds, and energy is strong (831). That’s a solid amount of water, but it’s blowing a fresh southeasterly, and the setup is still just marginal. For a reef break, that size and wind might make it a bit of a handful for the average surfer.
Honestly, if you’ve got a kite, this stretch might be more interesting than a paddle. The wind is consistent, and the swell is there, but the surf quality is not. For a paddle surfer, the best you can say is Friday morning, 31st July, is the closest to a window, but it’s nothing special.
Rusty.
