The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up, it’s a tough outlook for Lajinha. We’re looking at a solid 16 days of nothing but bad news for a paddle surfer. The whole run is filled with poor surf conditions, so don't get your hopes up for a wave today or any day soon.
Right from Tuesday morning, the 25th of August, it’s cross and choppy. The swell is coming in from the east at 5ft, with a weak period of 8 seconds and combined energy of 230, which is weak. The wind is howling cross-shore at 16 mph, and it just gets worse as the day goes on. Wednesday the 26th sees a jump in energy to 407, which is moderate, but it’s still a messy 5ft of ESE swell with a short 7-second period and cross-shore winds. It’s lumpy and ugly.
The rest of the first week stays the same story: 4ft to 5ft of weak, short-period east swell, with cross-onshore winds every single session. The water temp is 81°, which is about average for the time of year. This is just not a surfing setup at all. The conditions are consistently poor right through the end of August and into September.
Heading into the second week, from the 1st of September onward, there’s no relief. Still the same small, weak, and messy east swell with periods of 7 to 8 seconds, combined energy values mostly between 173 and 249, meaning weak to barely moderate energy. The wind stays cross-on or directly onshore, ruining any chance of a clean wave. Even by the 9th of September, it’s the same grim picture.
If you’ve got a kite and a death wish, this is your dream. With that significant cross-shore wind and mushy, low-quality swell, Lajinha is far more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. For a surfer, this is a total blank run. It’s going to stay poor for a long time, but that’s the reality for this area sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
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.
