The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the weeks ahead.
We’re looking at Lajinha, a reef break that’s consistent and exposed, but the whole 16-day window is a tough one. The wind is almost always coming from the SE or ESE, which is a cross-onshore, and that’s the main problem. It’s going to be choppy and lumpy day after day. The swell is small, mostly between 3ft and 5ft, and it’s coming from the east side, which is the optimum direction for this spot, but the wind just won’t let it clean up. The water temp is sitting at 81°, with an anomaly of 0.9°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year at Lajinha.
From Monday, 7 September, and right through the first week, we’ve got poor surf conditions. The combined wave energy is moderate, ranging from 120 to 275 (moderate), but the chop is relentless. The swell period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, mushy, and messy. Tuesday, 8 September, has 4ft to 4ft at 6 seconds, and the wind is cross-on at 15 mph. It’s the same story Wednesday, 4ft, period 7 seconds, still cross-on. Thursday, 5ft, a bit more energy (256), but still rain showers and the same wind. Friday through Sunday are all the same – 4ft to 5ft, cross-on, period 7 seconds. Not a single standout.
The second week doesn’t get any better. Monday, 14 September, has 4ft and a period of 8 seconds, but the wind picks up to 18 mph from the SE, which is a full cross-shore, causing lumpy cross-chop. Tuesday the 15th, back to cross-on at 15 mph, 4ft. Wednesday, 3ft to 4ft. Thursday, 3ft to 4ft, but the wind is up to 18 mph, making it lumpy. Friday, 4ft, cross-shore, 18 mph. Saturday, 4ft, cross-shore, 18 mph. Sunday, 4ft, still cross-on.
The only time the swell gets a little bigger is on the last couple of days, 22 September, with 5ft to 5ft, but the period is still 7 seconds and the wind is cross-on at 12 to 15 mph. The energy climbs to 256, but it’s still “poor surf conditions.”
There is no good window here. For a surfer, this is a washout. If you’re a kiter, the setup might be more interesting, because the cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, especially when they’re over 15 mph, can be fun for kiting. But for a paddle surfer, it’s a whole lot of nothing.
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.
