Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let me look at this in feet and miles. Rusty here, and this Lajinha forecast is a hard one to swallow. We've got a 16-day window from now, but a big dry spell at the start. The first real option isn't until the morning of Friday, July 3rd, and it's a grim one.
Friday, July 3rd we get a 6ft ESE swell with a 9-second period, but a SE wind at 16 mph has it all chopped up. It's poor surf, plain and simple. The combined energy is moderate at 507.
Saturday, July 4th and Sunday, July 5th are more of the same. Swell around 7ft from the ESE keeps the energy up (strong at 1001 on Saturday morning), but the cross-wind from the SSE at 12 to 16 mph and the risk of thunderstorms makes it a messy, blown-out mess. The highest score in that stretch is a 2 out of 10, which is still marginal.
Monday, July 6th morning is the only bright spot. A clean cross-offshore breeze from the south at 12 mph combines with a 6ft ESE swell. The comment says "clean." It's still only a 2 out of 10, but it's the only time in the first week the conditions aren't ugly. The combined energy is a moderate 618.
From Tuesday, July 7th right through to Saturday, July 18th, it's a full 11 days of poor surf. The swell drops below 5ft, the period gets short (down to 6 seconds), and the wind shifts onshore from the east and southeast, creating choppy, crummy waves. The combined energy falls into the weak category. Any wave over 8ft only shows for experts, but we don't even get that here.
The water is a warm 81°F, which is pretty average for the season.
There is no standout session. The only one that isn't a total write-off is Monday, July 6th morning, but it's marginal. For a reef that needs a good east swell and offshore wind, this is a sad run of flat, windy conditions. Between the cross-chop and onshore wind, this is looking more like a kiteboarding spot than a surf break for the next couple of weeks.
Keep the chin up, it changes quick.
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.
