Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) over the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, this forecast isn’t going to get your heart racing right away. The early days are a bit of a bust, with weak waves and the wind coming from the wrong side for any real quality.

The first time you’d even consider waxing up is Saturday morning, July 11th. The swell bumps up a bit to about 4ft from the east, with a short, gutless 6 second period. The combined wave energy is (255) – moderate, so there’s a little bump, but it’s not powerful. The wind is cross-offshore from the southeast, keeping the surface clean, but it’s still only a marginal call. It’s better than the nothing that came before, but I wouldn’t call it a standout.

That whole first week is a struggle. Most afternoons the wind swings more side-shore, putting a little crinkle on the face. The swell hangs around 3-4ft, but that short period keeps the waves fat and weak. Next Wednesday morning, July 15th, things look a touch more promising. Swell at 4ft from the east, energy at (203), clean again under cross-offshore winds. Still borderline, though.

After that, you’ve got a long run of so-so surf. The wind stays stubbornly side-shore or cross-offshore from the east-southeast, and while the swell slowly builds into the second week, the wave quality just doesn’t show up.

Now, here’s the real standout. If you can wait – and I mean really wait – mark your calendar for Tuesday, July 21st. The morning brings a 5ft easterly swell, and the period jumps to 9 seconds. That is a huge deal. It gives the waves proper shape and punch. The combined energy roars up to (412) – that’s a strong, serious wall of water. And the wind? Cross-offshore from the southeast, keeping it glassy clean. This is easily the best looking session in the whole outlook. The swell is coming from the east-southeast, which isn’t the absolute dream direction (optimum is northeast here), but with that much energy and clean conditions, you’ll still find some good lines peeling off the reef. This spot is very consistent, so you won’t be waiting long between sets. Just know it can get crowded – it’s ‘sometimes’ busy, and on a day like this, expect some company.

Wednesday, July 22nd has the energy climbing to (441) in the afternoon with a 6ft swell, but the wind cranks up to a fresh 18 mph, which is a lot of breeze for clean rides. The call says poor surf, so that window closes quick.

The tail end of the outlook, around Friday, July 24th, shows a morning with 6ft from the east, 8 second period, and (414) energy, under clean cross-offshore wind. It’s another marginal one, but a solid backup plan if the 21st doesn’t pan out. Remember, that far out it’s promising but not locked in.

To sum it up: suffer through the first week and a half. The real gem is the morning of Tuesday, July 21st. That’s your best bet for some proper, clean, groundswell-style waves. Water temp is a comfortable 80°F, which is dead average for the season – no surprises there.

Keep your eyes on the horizon.
