Alright, Rusty here, with a look at what’s cooking for Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos).
Honestly, mate, I’ve got to level with you: it’s a tough stretch ahead for this spot. The next two weeks are looking pretty grim, with no standout days to get excited about. There are runs of days where even the cleanest conditions can't polish a turd of a wave. The swell is just not delivering anything with any punch or decent shape for a proper surf.
We’ve got a bit of energy popping up on Saturday the 11th in the morning, with combined wave energy climbing to 289 (moderate) and a 4 ft swell from the ESE. But that period is only 7 seconds, so it’ll be weak and walled up. The wind is a cross-offshore, which is normally ideal, but it just can’t save this one. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is pretty much spot on for the time of year here.
The whole first week is just a blur of small, short-period junk. Swell heights stay mostly between 3 ft and 4 ft, all from the east. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, but it’s not making any difference. The wave comments keep calling it “poor surf conditions.” This isn’t a break that’s likely to fire from these small east pulses.
Moving into the second week, we start to see a bit more size around Wednesday the 22nd of July, with a 5 ft swell from the ESE (combined energy hitting 366 – moderate strong). The period stretches to a slightly better 8 seconds. Still, the forecast is calling it “marginal” and only scoring a 1. The wind is cross-off, so it’ll look clean, but that’s about it. For a beginner-friendly reef break, the swell isn't big enough to cause trouble, but the quality just isn't there.
Look, it’s one of those quiet periods. The wave energy is just too weak and the period too short to do much with. We get a tiny pulse here and there, but nothing that’d make you paddle out with a grin. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game. Maybe keep the board in the car by the 22nd, just in case that longer period swell shows some life, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Rusty.
