The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook for Lajinha is a tough one. We’re staring down the barrel of a long dry spell with no real surf on offer. The first swell that pops up on Friday, the 4th of September, is small at 2ft straight from the east, but the wind is howling cross-onshore at 16 mph, making it a total mess. The combined wave energy is weak (164), and the water is a warm 81°, which is about average for this time of year, but that’s the only bright spot. The whole first week is a washout – every day shows poor surf conditions with cross-onshore wind, keeping things choppy and unrideable. The swell does build slightly, but the wind never lets up.
The only glimmer of hope comes around Saturday, the 12th of September, when the swell climbs to 6ft from the east, pushing the combined energy up to a moderate 399. But even then, the wind is still a cross-onshore breeze at 16 mph, and the forecast still calls it "poor surf conditions." It’s not until the very end of the outlook, around the 19th of September, that we see a longer period of 9 seconds, but it’s still small at 5ft and the wind is still a problem. The break is a consistent reef, so it wants to work, but the elements just aren't cooperating.
The best we can point to is that Saturday, the 12th, has the most size and energy, but it’s only for advanced surfers due to the 6ft swell. With the wind howling cross-onshore, it’s going to be a messy, choppy battle. For anyone who isn’t an expert, it might be more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session. There’s nothing here that I’d call a standout. It’s a grim run, but fortunately, forecasts can change, and it’s a consistent spot, so it won’t stay poor forever.
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.
