The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window for the Lajinha region, and for the first week, there’s not a single window worth paddling out for. Starting from the 25th of August right through the 31st, every session is a write-off. The wind is a constant cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surface lumpy and choppy. The swell is small, around 4ft to 5ft, but it’s short-period windswell (7 to 8 seconds) with weak to moderate energy (between 198 and 329). The wave comment is ‘poor surf conditions’ across the board. It’s a grim start, lads.

We’ve got a dry spell right through the first week of September. From the 1st to the 8th, it’s the same story. Morning onshore winds from the east, sometimes turning cross-on, keep things messy. Waist-high slop with period barely hitting 8 seconds. The energy is weak, sitting between 161 and 225. The water temp is about 81°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re getting frustrated.

Then, on the 9th of September, we finally see a tiny flicker of life. The morning session shows a 5ft swell from the east with an 8 second period, and the energy jumps to 281 – still moderate. But the wind is still cross-onshore from the ESE. The afternoon is the same story: 5ft, 8 seconds, energy 295. It’s still not good, but it’s the least bad we’ve seen in two weeks. Let’s be honest, this is a long, blank run. For this area, it’s not unusual to see a stretch like this. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s no standout day. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on these beach and reef setups.

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.
