Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Lajinha.
First off, straight up: this forecast is a tough one to swallow for a surfer. The whole 16-day window is a long, drawn-out stretch of poor conditions with no real standout. The wind is almost constantly coming from the wrong direction – cross, cross-on, or just straight onshore – and the swell periods are short and weak. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird to report there.
The first hint of something surfable comes on Saturday, July 6th morning. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the ESE, but the period is a short 8 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore, so the surface is described as clean, which is a small mercy. The combined swell energy is moderate at 595. It’s still a marginal call, a 2 out of 10, but it’s the best we’re gonna get. It’s an exposed reef break, so it’s for advanced surfers only. That Saturday morning window is the single moment where you could probably get a few, even if the quality is questionable. The optimum swell direction for Lajinha is E, but we’re getting ESE, so not quite lining up perfectly.
From Saturday afternoon onwards, it’s a depressing slide. Sunday morning, July 7th, is a cross-shore mess. The swell drops to 4ft, period drops to 7 seconds, and the energy is weak at only 176. After that, the wave heights just keep dropping into the 3ft to 3ft range for the rest of the week and into the second week, with periods barely hitting 7 seconds. The wind stays onshore or cross-on, or just side-shore and choppy. By Tuesday, July 16th, we see some energy come back, with swell hitting 5ft on Friday morning, July 18th, but it’s still short period and cross-shore wind. It’s a long, drawn-out period of low quality.
Honestly, if you’re not an advanced surfer who can handle a challenging reef and some chop, this is a skip. The only light in the tunnel is that Saturday morning, July 6th. For the rest, the wind and junk swell just don’t give us a wave to get excited about.
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.
