Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long, hard look at what’s ahead for Lajinha. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one.
We’re looking at a 16-day window, but honestly, for the first several days, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The whole thing gets off to a slow start. From Sunday July 5th right through to the end of the period, it’s a real struggle. The swell is small and weak, the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the energy just isn't there.
The first real sniff of anything is Sunday morning July 5th. You’ve got a 5ft swell from the east, but it’s only got an 8-second period and the combined energy is a weak 267. The wind is a cross-off from the SSE at 12 mph, so the surface might be clean, but it’s a marginal call at best. The tide might mess with it. This is a reef break, and with that short period, it’s not going to have much shape.
Monday July 6th morning is slightly better on paper – 5ft swell from the SE, period still 8 seconds, but the energy jumps to 510. The wind is cross-off from the S at 16 mph, so it’s clean again. Still, it’s a marginal situation. That’s about as good as it gets.
After that, it’s a long, grim slog. From Monday afternoon July 6th all the way through to Monday July 20th, it’s a parade of “poor surf conditions.” The swell stays tiny, mostly under 4ft, with periods of 6-7 seconds. The wind is almost always cross or cross-on, often from the SE or SSE, and the combined energy drops into the weak two-digit or low three-digit range. There’s nothing to get excited about.
The only other blip is Saturday July 11th morning. The swell is 4ft from the east, 7-second period, energy of 211. The wind is a light cross-on from the SE at 6 mph, which is the lightest we see all period. It’s still a marginal call, but it’s the least bad option in the second week.
Look, this is a reef break that needs a decent, longer-period E swell to really fire. We’re not getting that. The wind is never properly offshore, and the swell is just too weak and short-period. For the whole 16 days, there’s no standout. The best bet is probably Monday morning July 6th, but don’t expect much. If you’re a beginner, the swell is small enough to be safe, but the conditions are just messy. For experts, there’s nothing here to challenge you.
Hang in there, folks. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a flat spell for Lajinha.
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.
