The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one.
Lookin' at the whole 16-day window, there's just nothing happening at Lajinha. We've got a solid run of zero after zero across the board. The forecast is a real heartbreaker for anyone looking to get wet.
The first chance we see is from the 30th of July, but it's a no-go right from the start. Thursday afternoon the 30th kicks off with a tiny 3 ft ESE swell at a weak 6-second period out of the east. The wind is a messy cross-shore at 16 mph, and the combined wave energy is a pathetic 79. The water is a warm 81°, which is about normal for this time of year, but that's the only good thing I can say. The surf is straight up "poor".
We roll through Friday the 31st, and it's more of the same – 3 ft, choppy, cross-shore breeze. Saturday the 1st of August sees a slight bump in size to 5 ft, but the period is still short at 8 seconds and the wind is still a fresh, lumpy cross-shore. The energy climbs to 336, but it's useless with that onshore influence.
This pattern just keeps repeating. Sunday the 2nd, Monday the 3rd, Tuesday the 4th... every day is the same story: poor surf conditions, moderate to fresh cross or cross-onshore winds, and a short-period, weak swell. The swell energy never gets it together. Even when it hits 6 ft on the morning of the 4th with a 755 combined energy, it's from the ESE and the wind is cross-onshore, making it a choppy, blown-out mess. That setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than for a paddle.
The rest of the week and into the next is a total write-off. From the 5th of August all the way through to the 14th of August, we're looking at waist-high slop, onshore winds, and low energy. There's a run of almost a full week where the best you can hope for is a 5 ft wave on the 14th, but it's still got a fresh cross-shore wind and a lumpy chop.
So here's the brutal truth: there is no standout day. There is no best session. The entire 16-day forecast is a blank. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just doesn't want to cooperate. It's a blank run, and for this area, it's just how it goes sometimes. Keep your board waxed and wait for the next weather pattern to shift.
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.
