Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lajinha over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for our local stretch, and I gotta be honest, it’s going to be a tough couple of weeks for anyone hoping to get a proper wave. We’re stuck in a rut.
From Friday, July 10th, the story doesn’t change. Lajinha, our usual reliable reef, is seeing a weak, short-period easterly swell pushing around 3 feet, but it’s instantly wrecked by a moderate cross-shore breeze. The water is a warm 81°, which is about average, but that’s the only thing that’s normal. The combined swell energy is barely breaking 110, and every report is just “poor surf conditions.”
This pattern just locks in. All through the weekend and into the following week, we’re looking at the same thing. Swell heights stay between 3 and 5 feet with a short, weak period of 6 to 8 seconds. The wind is our enemy here, constantly coming from the southeast or east-southeast, blowing cross or cross-onshore, turning the surface into a messy chop. The combined energy figures never climb into anything promising, just hovering in the low to mid hundreds.
There’s a slight bump around July 18th and 19th where the swell hits 5 feet, but it’s still messy with that cross-onshore wind. Even on July 23rd, when the swell jumps to 5 feet and the energy spikes to 458, it’s still a cross-shore mess, not the clean conditions we need. Because Lajinha is a reef and we’re looking at this persistent poor quality with strong side winds, you might as well set up the kite. There is no standout day, no window of glassy conditions, and no real hope for a good clean surf session in this whole outlook. Sometimes it’s just like this.
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.
