The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty.
Well, I’ve looked over the whole 16-day window for Lajinha, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. There are no good surf options to get excited about. The whole period is a write-off for quality waves. Every single session comes back with "poor surf conditions." That’s a long blank run, from now right through to the end of the month. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, you’d be wasting your time paddling out.
The problem is persistent. The wind is almost always a cross or cross-onshore breeze, blowing from the SE or ESE at 12 to 19 mph, keeping the surface lumpy and choppy. The swell is coming from the east and southeast, mostly short-period windswell under 8 seconds, which just doesn't hold any shape. On Wednesday the 23rd afternoon and Thursday the 24th, the period jumps to 11 seconds, but the swell drops right down – 2 ft down to 2 ft – and the wind is still cross-onshore, so it’s a mess.
The best of the swell energy comes on Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 27th of September, with combined energy readings of 234 and 217 – that’s moderate energy. But even then, the wind and conditions kill it. The swell height gets up to 5 ft on the Saturday morning, but with a 7-second period and a fresh cross-onshore breeze, it’s just lumpy and unappealing.
Water temp on the first Monday is 81°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year – a touch warmer than normal, but nothing wild. Doesn’t really matter when the surf is this poor though.
Honestly, for this stretch, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially on the days with stronger wind and a bit of chop. There’s just nothing here for a surfer.
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.
