The Lowdown
Alright, let’s size it up in feet and miles per hour. Over the next 16 days, the only spot in the game is Lajinha, a reef break for the advanced crew. But I gotta be straight with you – every single session is a dud. That’s a long, empty stretch.
We start Saturday, August 1st, with a cross-shore wind howling at 19 mph, making the ocean lumpy and cross-chop. Swell is around 6 feet from the ESE with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at 344. That’s a rough start. And it doesn’t let up. Saturday afternoon, Sunday, Monday – all cross-shore or cross-onshore winds, short period swell, and choppy, messy surf. Water temp is 81°, which is about average for the time of year.
Through the first week, there’s a few pulses. Wednesday the 5th morning sees a bump to 6 feet from the ESE, period still 8 seconds, and moderate energy at 683. But the wind is cross-onshore and the surf is still poor. Tuesday the 11th morning has a similar deal – 5 feet ESE swell, period 8 seconds, energy at 403 – but again, cross-onshore wind and poor conditions.
Late in the second week, around the 14th and 15th of August, we see the swell period jump to 13 seconds – that’s long-period groundswell energy. The swell heights are only 2 to 3 feet, but the energy readings jump to 350 and 453, which is moderate. The problem? The wind is still cross-onshore, and the surf is rated poor. For a reef like Lajinha, that long-period swell could have been a treat, but the wind just won’t play ball.
Bottom line: there’s nothing here worth paddling out for. The swell shows up, but the wind and chop ruin every chance. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a total bust for surf. If you’re into kite surfing, the wind and chop might be your thing, but for a wave, save your energy.

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.
