Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards.

Honestly, mate, it’s a tough stretch. Lajinha is looking at a long, pretty flat run with almost nothing worth paddling out for. The forecast shows a lot of days where the combined energy sits under 300 or barely nudges into the moderate range, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, which is going to mess up the face. Conditions are mostly described as poor, with scores reflecting that. You’re looking at a real dry spell from now until around the 18th of July with no real standout windows.

The only session that even gets a flicker of life is Saturday morning, the 4th of July. You’ve got a 7ft swell coming from the ESE at 9 seconds, and combined energy of 943 – that’s moderate, but it’s about as good as it gets. Water temp is sitting at 81°, which is pretty normal for the time of year. The problem is the wind is a cross-shore from the SSE at 16 mph, and it’s creating a cross-chop. The wave comment says marginal surf and questionable tide. It’s not ideal, but if you’re desperate, it’s your best look.

Sunday morning, the 5th, sees a drop to 6ft from the ESE, period dropping to 8 seconds, and energy at 731. The wind shifts to a cross-offshore from the south at 12 mph, and the conditions are described as clean. That’s a better wind direction, but the swell is still short-period and the overall forecast is still marginal. It’s not a standout, but it’s the cleanest you’ll get all week.

After that, it’s pretty grim. From Monday the 6th right through to Sunday the 19th, every session is rated poor or marginal with cross or cross-onshore winds, short periods mostly around 6-7 seconds, and combined energy mostly under 250. The swell heights drop under 4ft for most of it, and the wind stays messy. On Saturday the 18th, you get a little bump up to 5ft from the SE, but the wind is still cross and the conditions are poor again.

For a quick take: if you can get in the water Saturday morning the 4th, it’s your best bet for size, but don’t expect perfection. Sunday morning the 5th is cleaner but smaller. After that, it’s a long wait until the 18th, and even then it’s nothing to write home about. Not much to get excited about, but that’s how it goes sometimes.

Stay safe out there.
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.
