Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the local surf outlook for Lajinha.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – we're in for a rough stretch. We've got very little to get excited about across this 16-day window. The water's sitting around 81°F which is about average for the time of year, but that's about the only thing that's normal.
Starting from Tuesday the 7th, it's a write-off. We're seeing small, weak swell with combined energy readings mostly sitting between 89 and 131 (weak to moderate), coming from the east with a short, weak period of just 6 to 7 seconds. The wind is a constant problem too – mostly a moderate cross-off or cross-onshore breeze that's chopping up the surface. Every single slot is flagged as poor surf conditions. There's simply nothing worth paddling out for.
This grim pattern stretches all the way through, with a brief spike of moderate wave energy (up to 359) on Friday the 10th morning, but it's still messy and the wind is cross-shore. It's just not cleaning up.
The real kicker comes right at the end. On Monday the 20th of July, we see a noticeable jump in size with a 5ft east-southeast swell and a slightly longer period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 473 (moderate). That's a significant amount of energy, but the winds are still cross or cross-onshore, keeping conditions choppy. This swell sticks around through Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd, with energy readings consistently in the 300s and 400s. The swell is getting some size, but the quality isn't there.
For the whole forecast period, consider this a blank run. The winds just won't cooperate, and the swell direction isn't suiting the break. It’s a consistent reef break that needs an east swell to work, and we’re getting that, but the onshore wind is just ruining it. If you're desperate, the period around the 20th to the 22nd has the most push, but the chop will be nasty. Honestly, with the persistent cross-to-onshore wind and moderate energy, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Hang in there. It tends not to stay poor for long.
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.
