The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a grim outlook for the Lajinha area. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, and the news ain’t good. There isn't a single surfable day on offer right now. Not one. The whole period is a write-off, with no recommendations at all.
From Monday the 24th of August all the way through to Tuesday the 8th of September, it’s just poor surf conditions day after day. That’s a full run of no-go. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, moderate to fresh, and that’s messing up any chance of clean waves. Swell hangs around the 3ft to 5ft range with periods of 5 to 8 seconds – short-period, weak stuff that’s just lumpy and choppy. The energy levels are moderate for the most part, but it doesn’t matter because the wind is always ruining it.
Water temp is sitting at a muggy 81° with an anomaly of 1°, which is about average for this time of year, so that’s at least comfortable for a paddle, but you’d be paddling into junk.
For a consistent reef like Lajinha, it’s unusual to see such a long stretch of nothing. The setup is exposed, but the wind and miserable swell quality are just not giving us a look-in. If you’re desperate, maybe take a kite out – that cross-onshore breeze is steady enough for it, but for a surfboard, leave it at home.
I’m sorry, crew. This one hurts.

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.
