The Lowdown
Alright lads, it's Rusty. Look, I won't sugarcoat it. The outlook for Lajinha over the next 16 days is a proper bummer. You're looking at a long stretch of junk cross-shore winds that'll ruin the surface of just about any wave that shows up. There's a bit of energy in the water, but the wind won't let you enjoy it. The first real, and I mean *only*, potential window doesn't come around until Friday the 31st of July. Before that, it's all cross-shore breeze and lumpy chop.
Water temp is about normal for the season, nothing special.
Alright, the one to keep your eye on is Friday morning, the 31st of July. Swell bumps up a touch to about 5ft from the ESE, with a 7-second period. The big deal here is the wind drops right out to a light breeze from the SE. It’s still cross-shore, but only enough to put a few ripples on it. The combined wave energy is around 285 (moderate). The forecast calls it marginal, and I’d say that's fair. It's your one and only shot at something that isn't a complete washout. This is a reef break, so it's for the experienced lot. Crowds can turn up sometimes, but on a marginal day like this, you'll probably have it quiet.
After that, it's back to the grind. Saturday the 1st of August kicks up a fresh breeze from the SE, turning the swell lumpy. The whole next week is cross-onshore or strong cross-shore wind, with the swell sitting between 4ft and 5ft. The period is short, 7 to 8 seconds, so it's just bumpy windswell. Wave energy gets moderate, and even strong on Friday the 7th of August (hitting 1081), but with that wind howling cross-onshore, it's going to be a choppy mess – more of a kite day than a surf day.
Then on Monday the 10th of August, you get a tease: a long-period groundswell of 16 seconds, but the height is a tiny 2ft. Not enough to break properly, especially with a moderate cross-shore wind.
Honestly, the next 16 days are a write-off for surfing Lajinha. If you have to get wet, that Friday morning on the 31st is your only prayer. Otherwise, sit this one out.
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.
