The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles. This 16-day stretch for Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) is a dud. There’s nothing worth chasing until the afternoon of Monday, August 3rd, and even that’s just a “marginal” call.
From now through the end of July, you’ve got tiny, short-period swell – 3 to 3 feet from the ESE or SE, with periods of 6 to 7 seconds. That’s little more than wind chop. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly under 100 (like 74 to 127), so no grunt. Winds are cross-off from the SSE or SE at 12 to 15 mph, so the water’s clean, but there’s no wave. The water’s 80°F, a touch above average for this time of year, but that’s about it.
The best-looking swell hits August 1st and 2nd, with heights climbing to 5 feet and combined energy up to 426 on Sunday morning. But the period is still short (7 seconds), and the cross-off wind turns into a fresh breeze at 18 mph, making it bumpy. The wave comment stays “poor surf conditions” the whole time.
The only slight chance is Monday afternoon, August 3rd – the swell reaches 6 feet from the ESE with an 8-second period, and combined energy spikes to 587. That’s moderate energy, but it’s still a short-period swell, and the wave comment is “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” For a reef break like this, short-period swell doesn’t line up well. The wind is cross-off from the SE at 15 mph, so it’s clean, but the wave quality is lacking.
This break is very consistent and exposed to the NE, but the swell is coming from the ESE, which is off the optimum direction. Crowds are “sometimes,” but that doesn’t matter when there’s no surf.
This is a real blank run. For a spot that’s normally reliable, it’s a dry spell. The forecasts can change, but for now, I’d say it’s looking more interesting for kiting than paddling. On the smaller days, the cross-off wind and clean surface could be fun for that.
