Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) over the next couple of weeks.
The window starts off with some energy, but honestly, it’s a tricky run. The first few days have some solid swell, but the wind is frustrating – mostly a cross-off, which is okay, but the angle and strength keep things from ever looking truly clean and lined-up. The standout moment, the one you’d actually paddle out for, is Friday afternoon, July 3rd. That afternoon the swell pushes up to 8 ft from the ESE, and the forecast says the wind and tide are favorable – even though the swell might be a touch big for this break. The combined energy is strong (1438), and the water temp is sitting at 81°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
That Friday afternoon is the only time the score really lights up. Saturday and Sunday drop off fast, with things becoming marginal and the wind staying annoying. From Monday the 6th onwards, it’s a slow decline. Swell drops under 5 ft, periods shorten, and by mid-week the wave comment just says poor. There’s a long gap of nothing worth chasing from Saturday July 5th right through to the end of the 16-day outlook – that’s nearly two weeks of flat to weak, messy surf. Not your run-of-the-mill lull, this is a proper blank spell.
If you’re a beginner, that Friday afternoon swell at 8 ft is going to be too much, so sit that one out. The rest of the time, the swell is small and the quality isn’t there. Kite surfers might look at that cross-off wind and the moderate energy days and find something to do, but for paddle surfing, this is a tough run.
Keep an eye on the charts – sometimes it turns around faster than you’d think. But for now, it’s a quiet stretch.
Rusty.
