Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lajinha over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got.
Honestly, it's a tough run for Lajinha. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off. We're looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions with no real standouts. The swell is coming from the east, which isn't the optimum direction for this reef break, and the wind and chop are just making a mess of things. It's one of those periods where you're better off cleaning the wax off your board or doing a few laps in the pool.
The first few days from Wednesday the 8th of July through to the weekend are mostly blown out by a moderate cross-shore to cross-onshore breeze, with weak wave energy (around 107 to 199). The swell is tiny, around 3ft to 4ft with a short period of 6-7 seconds, so it's all mushy and weak.
Things don't improve much through the following week. We see a brief pulse of more moderate energy on Monday the 13th of July, hitting 390, with swell heights pushing up to 5ft, but it's coming with a stiff cross-onshore wind, making it choppy and messy. That's not the kind of day you want to paddle out into; it's for the brave or the foolish.
After that, it's more of the same: small, weak, and onshore until the 23rd of July. There's a moment on Sunday the 19th of July where the wind goes directly onshore, but still nothing special. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, but with conditions this poor, it doesn't really matter.
In short, there's nothing here worth chasing. The setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with that consistent side-to-onshore wind. A blank run like this is pretty normal for the area when the swell direction doesn't line up. Forecasts can change, but right now, this one is a dead loss.
Rusty.

Information about the Lajinha Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lajinha provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lajinha can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lajinha surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Lajinha) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Lajinha may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Lajinha is 15 km (9 miles) from Canguaretama. If you plan a holiday in Rio Grande Do Norte, look for hotels and other accommodation in Canguaretama. Canguaretama has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
