The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Lajinha in feet and miles per hour. It’s a rough look for the next 16 days, plain and simple. We start off with a big fat zero for any decent surf, and it stays that way for a while.
The first week is all about weak, short-period wind swell and a stubborn cross-shore wind out of the SE and SSE. It’s choppy, it’s messy, and the wave energy is low – we’re talking double-digit numbers that mean nothing good. The water temp is about 80°F, right around normal for this time of year.
The swell finally starts to show some life around August 1st, but it comes with thunderstorms and increasing wind. We’re looking at 4 to 5 ft waves, but with a fresh 19 mph cross-shore wind, it’s just a lumpy, bumpy mess. The 3rd and 4th of August see the swell push up to 6 ft, and the wave energy gets strong, but the wind is still cross-shore or cross-onshore. The model calls it “marginal” at best, and that’s the truth.
If you’re looking for a window, the morning of August 8th is your best bet, and it’s still not great. The swell is around 6 ft from the ESE, with a 8-second period, and the wind drops to a gentle 9 mph cross-shore. It’ll be a little choppy, but it’s the cleanest we get. The break is a reef, so it needs that good direction, and the wind is just not cooperating. Crowds are “sometimes” here, so you might find a lonely peak.
Honestly, this whole period is a write-off for a good paddle. The wind is wrong, the swell is messy, and it’s more of a kite-surfing show than a surfing one. Hang tight, the forecasts can change.
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.
