Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve had a good look at what’s coming up for Lajinha. I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough stretch. It’s a reef break, and it’s exposed, but the alignment of conditions just isn’t happening for a proper session.

Right out the gate, there’s no real surf to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a bust. We’ve got swell hanging around, but the wind is constantly ruining it. Most days are cross-shore or cross-onshore with a nasty chop, and the wave energy is weak to moderate—nothing that’s going to get your heart pumping.

The water temp is sitting at about 81°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The swell we do see is mostly short-period stuff from the ESE or E, coming in at 5 to 8 seconds. That’s just windswell, not the deep, long lines you’d want for a reef like this. Even when the wave heights hover around 3 ft to 5 ft, the wind makes it a mess.

There’s a slight flicker on July 8th. Wednesday morning has a gentle breeze with cleaner conditions, but the swell is still junk, and it’s only a 4 ft ESE windswell. The energy is a touch better at 263, but it’s still a “marginal” call. If you’re desperate, you could paddle out, but don’t expect much.

Honestly, for the rest of the period, it’s just day after day of poor surf. The wind stays up, the swell direction is wrong for what works best here (optimum is E, but the wind is blowing right into it or across it), and the wave energy stays in the weak to moderate range. It’s not just a few bad days; it’s the whole 16 days with no real standouts.

If you’re a kite surfer, this constant cross-onshore wind and lumpy sea might be your playground. But for us paddlers, it’s a no-go. Keep your board waxed and wait for a change—forecasts can shift, and this area doesn’t stay flat forever.

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.
