Howdy, Rusty here. I won't lie – the next sixteen days at Lajinha are mostly a bust. This break is a reef that needs the right combo, and we ain't getting it.

The only highlight is early on. Saturday morning, 4th July, there's a 2.0m swell from the ESE (that's about 7 ft) with moderate energy (923), but it's cross-shore wind making it messy. The swell's from the wrong angle too – Lajinha wants it straight from the east. Sunday isn't much better.

The real window is Monday morning, 6th July. Swell's 1.7m (6 ft) from the ESE, still not perfect direction, but the wind turns cross-offshore, giving us clean faces for the first time. The period's only 8 seconds so waves are short and a bit fat, but the surface will be glassy. Combined energy's moderate (564). Crowds can show up here sometimes, so be early. Water temp's normal for July.

After that, it's grim. From Tuesday, 7th July, all the way through to Sunday, 19th July, scores are zero. Swells drop to 0.7m to 1.3m (2 ft to 4 ft), period 6-7 seconds, and cross-on winds from the ESE or SE keep things choppy and poor. The energy numbers are weak to low (68 to 213). There's a solid two-week gap of no-good surf.

So, if you're keen, Monday 6th morning is your only shot – small but clean. For the rest, with all that cross-on wind, it might be a kiter's paradise, not a surfer's. 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.
