The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu.
Well, honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell for Lajinha. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but the first week and a half is pretty grim. The surf is small, the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore from the SE, and the conditions are just not coming together. You'll see a few days of waist-high waves, around 3 ft to 4 ft, but with that short-period, 7 to 8 second energy, it's just not going to have any push. The combined energy is weak, mostly in the 100 to 200 range, and the wind is keeping it all messy anyway. Honestly, there's not much to get excited about until we hit the start of August.
There is one day that might just scrape by. On Thursday, the 23rd of July, the morning session shows a bit of a window. The wind swings around to a cross-offshore from the SSE, cleaning things up nicely. The swell is still small, only 4 ft from the east, with a short 8-second period, but the clean conditions are a major positive. The combined energy is a weak 221, but for a quick paddle out on a longboard, it might be worth a look. The water temperature is 81°, which is about normal for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is way down the line on Saturday, the 1st of August. We get a bump in size, with the morning showing 6 ft from the SE. The period is still short at 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 538, so there's actually some juice in the water. But the wind is cross from the SE at 16 mph, so it's going to be lumpy and a bit of a battle. This is a reef break, and it's advanced, so the bigger swell mixed with that cross-chop will make it a challenge. It's not beginner-friendly, and with the moderate wind, the quality won't be pristine. The morning of the 4th of August also sees a bigger pulse, with 6 ft from the ESE and a combined energy of 646, but again, the wind is cross-on, so it's likely to be a choppy, messy affair.
So, to sum it up: the first week and a half is a write-off for most of us. The 23rd of July morning offers a chance for a clean, small wave if you're desperate. The 1st of August brings some size, but with compromised conditions. It's just not a classic run of surf for Lajinha right now.

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.
