The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it's looking pretty grim. We're staring down a long stretch of nothing but poor surf conditions. The wind is just wrong, coming in mostly cross-onshore from the southeast, and it's chopping everything up. The energy is around, but it's all messy.
The first real chance of anything rideable is a weak offering on the 7th of September, Monday morning, at Lajinha. The swell is from the east at 3ft with a period of 7 seconds, and the wind is onshore, but light. The combined energy is weak at 138. It's not great, but it's the best we've got for a while. The water temp is about 81°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The whole week following that is more of the same – cross-onshore winds and choppy, poor surf. The swell bumps up a bit around the 10th and 11th, hitting 5ft from the east with a period of 8 seconds and moderate energy (267). But the wind stays cross-onshore, so it's just going to be a bumpy, hard-to-surf mess. Just a heads-up, Lajinha is an exposed reef break, so with this onshore wind, it's not going to be a pretty picture.
We do see a bit of a peak in energy around the 19th of September, a Saturday. The swell is forecast to be 5ft to 5ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds and the combined energy cranking up to 360 (moderate wave energy). Still, the wind is a moderate cross-onshore breeze, so the conditions are still listed as "poor." For a reef break, that's a recipe for a frustrating session.
Honestly, there's no standout session here. There's nothing clean, nothing with that magic offshore wind. The best I can say is that if you're desperate, the 7th of September morning might offer a few grovelly ones, but don't get your hopes up. This is a tough run 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.
