The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what this 16-day stretch has in store for us. I gotta be straight with you right from the start: it’s a tough run. The whole forecast period is basically one long gap with no real surf to get excited about. From now, right through to the 25th of September, it’s all "poor surf conditions." That’s a solid 16 days of nothing worthwhile.
We’re looking at Lajinha, a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the east. The swell direction is mostly coming in from the east and east-southeast, which is not quite the optimum easterly direction the spot would prefer. Combined wave energy sits in the moderate range, bouncing around between 89 and 269, but it’s all messy and weak. The real killer here is the wind. It’s a constant cross-onshore breeze from the southeast or east-southeast, blowing at 12 mph to 19 mph, which is shredding any chance of a clean wave. The water temp anomaly is about average for this time of year.
The swell height hangs around 3 ft to 5 ft, with short-period junk of 5 to 8 seconds. There’s a tiny flicker of a longer-period groundswell (12 seconds) on the 23rd, but it’s only 2 ft and the wind remains onshore and messy. That combo of onshore wind, short-period chop, and a swell direction slightly off the mark means it’s all just blown-out and lumpy for paddle surfing. Honestly, with the persistent wind and the beach-and-reef setup, this looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than someone on a shortboard. There’s just no standout session to recommend.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
