The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Lajinha.
It's a pretty grim stretch ahead, I gotta be honest. We're looking at a solid 16-day window with nothing but consistent poor surf conditions. The swell is there, but it's all wrong. The wind is the real killer. We're stuck with a persistent SE breeze, sometimes swinging SSE, that's going to keep things messy. It's a mix of moderate to fresh cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, which means lumpy, choppy, and blown-out conditions for the entire forecast period.
For the first few days, starting Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, the swell is small. We're talking 3 ft to 3 ft from the E and ENE, with a short period of 7 seconds. Combined energy is weak, sitting between 75 and 119. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, so it's just not worth paddling out. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about average for this time of year.
As we move into mid-week, the swell does bump up a bit. By Wednesday the 15th, we're seeing 3 ft, and it slowly builds. Through the end of next week and into the weekend, the swell height is holding around 4 ft to 5 ft, and the period stretches to 8 seconds. The combined energy starts to climb into the moderate range, peaking at 402 on the 19th. But the wind is still a problem. It's a consistent SE flow, 12 to 18 mph, and it's either cross or cross-onshore. The wave comment stays "poor surf conditions" across the board.
Looking further out, the second week doesn't bring any hope. By the 25th, we see a bit of a spike in energy with 6 ft swell and combined energy hitting 543, but the period is still short at 8 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore. It's the same story all the way through to the 28th. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the consistent wind and the choppy conditions.
There are no standout days here. The only break on offer is Lajinha, a reef setup, but the wind is just never favorable. The optimum swell direction is E, and the swell is coming from the right direction, but the wind is ruining it. For a more exposed reef, you need clean conditions, and we're not getting them. It's a blank run. For this area, it's not unusual to see these stretches, but it's a tough one to swallow.

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.

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.
