The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Lajinha. I've got to be straight with you, the 16-day window is a tough one. The predominant winds are cross-onshore from the southeast, and it stays that way for the entire run. This keeps the surf messy and blown out, with no standout days where everything lines up. We are looking at a stretch of poor surf quality and there's no real gap with no recommendations – the issue is that what's on offer just isn't good.
Water temp is sitting at 81°, about 2° warmer than the average for this time of year, so a little above the norm right now at Lajinha.
For the opening days, Wednesday the 9th through the weekend, every session is poor. Swell comes in from the east around 4ft to 5ft, but with short period between 7 and 8 seconds, it's weak, wind-affected slop. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate, hitting values like 144 and 275. Couple that with cross-onshore winds at 15 to 19 mph and it's a no-go. The break itself is a consistent reef, but you can't surf what's not clean.
Moving into the second week, the pattern barely shifts. From Monday the 14th all the way to the final day on September 24th, it's the same story: east to east-southeast swell heights at 4ft to 5ft, short 6 to 8 second periods, and a consistent ESE to SE cross-onshore blow. The combined wave energy fluctuates but stays in the weak to moderate range (109 to 283). Even though the swell period barely ever hits 8 seconds, it's not a case of a groundswell – it's just messy local windswell.
Honestly, there's nothing to highlight as the best on offer. The conditions are poor for surfing across the whole forecast. Crowds are listed as "sometimes" at Lajinha, but with this kind of forecast, you might have it to yourself for the wrong reasons.
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.
