The Lowdown
Alright, so here’s the story for Lajinha over the next 16 days. Honestly, if you’re looking for a good paddle, it’s looking pretty grim. It’s a consistent reef break that’s set up for an easterly swell, and there’s some moderate energy about, with combined energy readings hanging around 109 to 243. That sounds okay, right? But the wind is going to ruin it for you. It’s just constant cross-onshore wind.
From Friday September 11th through to about the 18th, it’s the same old story each day. There’s swell in the water – 1.0m to 1.3m – but it’s a short-period wind swell of 6 to 8 seconds. That, combined with moderate to fresh cross-onshore breezes at 15 to 30 km/h, is going to keep the conditions choppy, lumpy, and just plain messy. The "poor surf conditions" tag is the truth. The waves will be bumpy and hard to ride, really just a struggle.
Then around the 23rd of September, things get more interesting, but still not great. The swell drops right down to 0.6m, but it turns into a proper groundswell with a period of 12-13 seconds and moderate energy (201-240). That longer period is a tease for a reef break like this. The wind does ease back a touch to a gentle breeze, but it’s still cross-onshore on the 23rd, then on the 24th morning it’s onshore at 20 km/h. It would need that wind to be offshore to really glass up the long period lines, which just isn’t happening. It’s the best bet on the board simply because the quality of the swell improves, but the wind still makes it a tough sell.
You’d have to be feeling really lucky or desperate to head out for any of this. It’s a long, boring stretch with no real standout sessions. I’d be finding something else to do.

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.
