The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Lajinha over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at a stretch where the ocean just isn’t playing ball for a good paddle session. The conditions are consistently poor, so there’s no standout window to get excited about.
From Tuesday the 28th of July right through to Wednesday the 12th of August, the pattern is grim. The wind is stuck in the cross to cross-onshore zone, mainly from the SE and SSE, blowing at 12 to 19 mph. That’s going to put a nasty chop on the surface and wreck any chance of a clean face. The swell is coming from the ESE and E, with periods stuck at 6 to 8 seconds – that’s weak, short-period windswell, not the kind of energy that wraps in nicely. The combined energy is mostly weak, sitting between 87 and 313, with a brief bump to 435 on the 4th of August, but even then the wind and period are against us.
The water temperature is 80°F, which is about 0.5°F warmer than normal – nothing to write home about, just your average tropical bath.
There is literally no day in this 16-day run where the surf is recommended. It’s a total blank. For a spot like Lajinha, a consistent reef break, this kind of run isn’t usual, but it happens. The swell direction is from the E and ESE, while Lajinha prefers an E swell; it’s just not matching up well. With the wind and chop, this setup honestly looks more interesting for a kite session than a surf session. The waves are there, but the quality is missing.
If you’re a surfer, save your energy. The forecast can change, but as it stands, we’re in a dry spell.

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.
