Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the wave situation.
For the next couple of weeks at Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos), the outlook is pretty grim. There is really no good window to get a proper surf session in. The whole 16-day period is mostly a washout.
We start this Friday, July 3rd, with a small 4ft ESE swell with a short 8-second period. The wind is cross-offshore but a stiff 16 mph. Combined energy is a weak 350. It's called "poor surf conditions" and I'm with them. Saturday the 4th sees the swell bump up to 7ft in the morning with 1087 of combined energy, but the warning is clear: it's too big for this break. That's expert-only territory at a beginner reef. Sunday the 5th is the same story – 7ft ESE swell (849 energy) in the morning, then it drops. After that, the pattern just fades. From Monday the 6th through Saturday the 18th, the swell stays under 5ft, mostly 3ft to 4ft, with periods of 6 to 7 seconds. The wind is a constant issue – cross or cross-off and often a moderate breeze around 12 to 16 mph. The combined energy values are mostly two-digit numbers or low three-digit numbers, which is just weak, weak energy. The descriptions are all "poor surf conditions."
I know this is frustrating, but there's no standout day here. The only thing that comes close to “rideable” would be Thursday the 9th, with a tiny 2ft swell (71 energy) and the lightest breeze of the period at 6 mph. But even that’s only called "very ordinary." The water is a warm 81°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but that doesn't help when there's nothing to surf.
Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler, with that consistent cross-off wind and small, weak swell. For us, it’s a total blank. We wait it out.
Rusty.
