The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta call it like I see it, and this 16-day stretch for Lajinha is a tough one. There's swell on the charts, sure, but the wind is gonna be a persistent pain in the neck. That steady east to southeast breeze will keep things chopped and crumbly for most of the run. The water's a warm 81°F, which is totally average for the time of year.
We start on Tuesday, September 1st, with chest-to-head high waves around 5ft from the east, but it's a short-period, weak swell with a combined energy of only 291. An ESE wind at 16 mph has it all blown out. That's the story for the first few days. Wednesday, September 2nd, shows a pulse with the combined swell energy hitting 711 (moderate energy) and a 9-second period from the ESE, but the wave comment is still "poor surf conditions" because of that cross-onshore wind.
The only real chance at anything clean comes on Thursday, September 3rd. The wind goes light easterly at 9 mph – still onshore, but light enough you might find a glideable face. Swell drops to a tiny 2ft with weak energy though. It's the best you'll get, but that's not saying much.
From Friday, September 4th, all the way through to the end of the second week, it's more of the same. Swell runs between 3ft and 6ft, mostly from the east or ESE, with short periods between 6 and 8 seconds. The wind stays up out of the ESE to SE, often blowing 12 to 19 mph. The combined swell energy is stuck in the weak to moderate range. With that constant side-shore wind, this break honestly starts to look more like a kite-surfing spot than a paddle-surfing one for almost the entire forecast.
So, to be blunt, the whole 16-day window is a write-off for quality. Your one and only hail mary is a dawn patrol on Thursday, September 3rd, if that light east wind materialises. Otherwise, it's just a windy, choppy grind. Sometimes the ocean just doesn't want to play ball.
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.
