The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. To be honest, things are looking pretty grim for Lajinha over the next two weeks. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but the first week and a half is a total write-off. From Monday the 20th of July right through to the end of the month, it’s all poor surf conditions with moderate cross-shore winds, a cross-chop, and cross-onshore winds that just junk up the lineup. The swell is small, between 3 ft and 5 ft, and the period is short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, mushy, and messy. The combined swell energy is low to moderate, ranging from 81 to 407, but don’t let that 407 fool you – it’s still not clean enough to ride.
The wind is a constant problem. Southeast and SSE winds at 9 to 16 mph are blowing cross or cross-on, keeping the surface bumpy and ugly. The water temperature is around average for the time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
The only glimmer of hope is on Monday the 3rd of August. The early morning shows a 5 ft swell from the southeast with a 1 out of 10 score, and the combined energy hits 519 – moderate wave energy. But even then, the wind is still cross-shore at 16 mph, so it’s not going to be clean. The afternoon that day has a 2 ft swell from the ESE with a period of 13 seconds, which is a long period groundswell, but the energy drops to 353 and the surf is still described as poor. So, nothing to get excited about.
Overall, this is a flat spell. The break is a reef, consistent, but the wind and swell just aren’t lining up. There’s no standout, no one day to circle on the calendar. If you’re desperate, Monday the 3rd of August might offer a marginal window with that longer period, but it’s a gamble. For now, the forecast is a bust.
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.
