The Lowdown

Alright, talkin' to ya from Lajinha. I’m Rusty, and I’ve been lookin' at the charts for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with ya, it’s a rough outlook. We’re lookin' at a long stretch of noisy, onshore slop. There’s no real stand-out session in the whole 16 days. The swell energy is mostly weak to moderate, with a couple of days where it gets a bit more grunty, but the wind just ruins it every time. The water temp is runnin’ about average for this time of year, so nothin' wild there.

We start off on Monday the 14th with a bit of swell from the ESE, around 3 ft and a short period of 8 seconds with weak energy (151). It sounds small, but that cross-shore wind is already stirrin' up a chop. It’s just messy. That theme carries through the whole week and into the next. The wind is almost always out of the ESE or SE, blowin’ cross or cross-on, and it’s a moderate breeze most days, occasionally pickin' up to a fresh breeze around the 18th and 21st. The waves themselves, when they’re there, are in the 3 ft to 4 ft range, but with a short period around 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s just weak, bumpy stuff. The combined energy even gets up to the 200s on a few days like the 19th (227) and 22nd (255), but that’s all energy from the wind, not clean groundswell. The conditions are just repeatedly “poor,” with heavy cross-on chop. By the 24th, the swell size drops right off.

Later in the run, on the 27th and 28th of September, there’s a bump in swell height to about 4 ft from the ENE with the combined energy hittin’ 196 to 217, but the story is the same: it’s all cross-on shore wind. The only day the wind looks like it turns truly offshore from the east is the morning of the 26th, but even then the data says the surf conditions are poor. Sometimes a straight offshore wind on a beach break with that short, weak swell can still just be a washing machine. It’s just not on.

For a reef break like Lajinha that’s consistent and exposed, it’s a damn shame to see the wind so stubborn. Even the longer period swell that shows up on the 24th and 25th (10-11 seconds) is comin' from the wrong angle with too much wind on top.

Honestly, this is a rough 16-day window. There’s not a single session I’d paddle out for. The wind is the enemy on this one. Keep an eye on it, though – forecasts can flip.

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.
