Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this is going to be a tough stretch. The swell is comin’ in small, the winds are mostly cross-off or cross-shore, and the scores are tellin’ me there’s nothing really worth paddlin’ out for. The water’s sittin’ at a warm 81° right now, which is pretty much average for this time of year here in the (Baia dos Golfinhos) zone.
Sunday morning, July 5th, we see a little 4ft easterly swell with an 8-second period and 221 units of combined energy (weak to moderate). It’s clean-lookin’ but the wave comment says “marginal surf” and the score is a 1 out of 10. Winds are 12 mph from the SSE, blowin’ cross-off, so it’s not goin’ to be a total mess, but the swell’s just not there.
From Monday July 6th all the way through to the end of the forecast on Monday July 20th, every single session is rated either “poor surf conditions” or “marginal surf” with zeros or ones. The swell barely cracks 4ft, periods are mostly short—6 to 8 seconds—and the combined energy stays in the low hundreds or below 100 for many sessions. Winds are pretty much a boring cross-off from the SSE, SE, or ESE at 9-19 mph.
There is no standout session here. No day where the swell, wind, and conditions line up for a proper surfin’ session. It’s a long, flat gap with nothing to recommend.
Lajao is a very consistent reef break for beginners, but even with that, there’s just no energy to work with. This kind of blank run is unusual for the area—forecasts can change, but as it stands, you’re better off waitin’ for a better window. It’s not even worth mentionin’ any particular break; the whole region’s a bust.
Stay tuned, check back later, and hopefully the ocean remembers how to make waves soon.
Rusty.
