Alright, Rusty here. Let's see what's cookin' at Lajao.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough stretch. The surf window starts Monday the 6th of July with a little bit of pulse, but the conditions are pretty ordinary for the most part. The water's sittin' at a pretty standard 81°F, so nothin' out of the ordinary there for this time of year.

Monday the 6th, we see some chest-high stuff, around 4 to 5 feet, comin' out of the SE with a short, weak period of just 8 seconds. The wind is a moderate cross-off, which is okay, but the wave energy is moderate at best with readings of 452 and 229. The call is "marginal" at best. Not somethin' to write home about.

Tuesday the 7th is similar. A morning swell of 5 feet, but the period drops to a pitiful 6 seconds, so it's all chop and no power. The energy is still moderate (324), but that short period means it won't really peel. The afternoon drops off even more. Honestly, nothin' to get excited about.

From Wednesday the 8th right through to Saturday the 18th of July, it's a long, poor stretch. Swell heights bob around from 3 feet to 4 feet, mostly from the E or ESE, with periods stuck on a weak 6 to 7 seconds. The wind stays cross-off or cross, but the wave comments are all "poor surf conditions" or "surfable but very ordinary." The combined energy is mostly weak to low moderate, under 200 in most cases. This is a real dry spell, mate. There's a solid 11-day gap in any worthwhile surf.

Now, we do get a little flicker of hope around Sunday the 19th of July. The swell bumps up to 5 feet, still from the E, with a 7-second period. The wind is cross-off, and the energy hits 260—moderate. It's still only a "marginal" call, but it's the best we've seen in a while.

The standout, if you can call it that, is Monday the 20th of July. The afternoon session sees a jump to a solid 7 feet from the ESE, with an 8-second period. The combined energy jumps right up to 783, which is solid moderate wave energy. The wind stays cross-off, so it should be clean. That's the biggest push of the whole outlook, and it's the best chance for a proper wave. For a break like Lajao, which is a beginner-friendly reef that's very consistent, this is the one to aim for. Just keep in mind the swell direction is SE to ESE, while the spot does best with a NE swell, so it won't be firing at its absolute best.

Tuesday the 21st of July holds in around 5 feet with 8 seconds and moderate energy (330), but it's more of the same marginal stuff.

So, bottom line: the first week and a half is a write-off for any decent surf. The only real target is Monday the 20th of July afternoon, when that 7 foot SE swell pushes in. It won't be perfect, but it's the only standout on offer.

Rusty.

Information about the Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
