Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got for Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell before anything even gets close to rideable. The first recommendation doesn't pop up until the morning of Friday, 17th July, and even then, it's a "marginal" call at best. So we're looking at a solid 10-day gap from the start of the period with nothing to get excited about. For the first few days, the wind is a persistent cross-off or cross-shore, and the swell is small, short-period junk from the east-southeast, with energy levels sitting in the low to moderate range. The water is a warm 81°F, which is about average for this time of year.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Friday morning, 17th July. The swell bumps up a notch to 5ft from the ESE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs to a solid 292, which is a decent kick of energy. The wind is cross-off, so the surf will be clean. This is the best we've seen, but it's still a modest, short-period swell at a very consistent reef break that can get crowded sometimes. For a beginner-friendly spot, this 5ft swell is right at the limit, and it's a bit short-period to be proper.

The Saturday morning, 18th July, is a similar story with 4ft and the same short-period, but the afternoon sees a slight improvement to 5ft and 230 energy. It's still a marginal option.

The standout, if you can call it that, looks like Monday morning, 20th July. We get a 6ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits a strong 537, which is the most powerful reading of the whole forecast. The wind is cross-off, keeping it clean. For a reef break, this is the best combination of size and energy we get. However, at 6ft, it's starting to get a bit much for beginners, and it's still a short-period swell, which means it won't have the best shape. The crowds are a possibility here.

The final date to note is Wednesday morning, 22nd July, with another 6ft, 8-second swell from the ESE, and energy at 519. Again, it's marginal, but it's the best on offer in the second week.

Honestly, looking at the whole 16 days, it's a real struggle. The swell is consistently short-period and coming from the wrong direction for this spot's optimum (NE). The wind is generally OK, but it's not enough to save the poor surf quality. The only real standout is the Monday morning, 20th July, with that 6ft swell and strong energy, giving you the best chance of a wave. It's a waiting game, and even then, it's a gamble.

Rusty out.
