The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – looking at the Lajinha forecast over the next couple of weeks, it’s a tough one. We’ve got a solid run of conditions that just aren’t cooperating.

The whole 16-day window is a bit of a grind, to be honest. There’s no standout session where everything comes together. You’ll see small to moderate east swell running the whole time, between about 2 ft and 5 ft, but the wind is the problem. It’s coming from the east and southeast almost constantly, turning it into a messy, cross-onshore chop right from Thursday the 3rd of September onwards. The combined wave energy sits mostly in the moderate range (around 94 to 290), but with the wind direction blowing right across the face, the surf quality is just poor. Don’t expect any clean lines.

It’s a real shame because Lajinha is a consistent reef break that can handle a swell from the east, which is what we’re getting. But with the wind howling from that same quarter, it’s just not offering anything for a surfer. The water temperature anomaly is around average for this time of year, so no surprises there, but that won’t help the chop.

Basically, from Thursday the 3rd right through to Friday the 18th of September, it’s a long stretch of poor surf conditions. The winds are either moderate or fresh breezes (9 to 19 mph) and they’re spoiling any chance of a clean face. There is a single session on Monday the 7th of September morning where the wind is listed as ‘on’ from the east-northeast, but the swell is only 3 ft at a short 7-second period, and the energy is still low. It’s not enough to get excited about.

Given the persistent cross-onshore wind and the beach/reef setup at Lajinha with consistent swell, this stretch actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Unless you’re desperate for a fight with the chop, I’d give this one a miss.

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.

Lajinha is 15 km (9 miles) from Canguaretama. If you plan a holiday in Rio Grande Do Norte, look for hotels and other accommodation in Canguaretama. Canguaretama has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
