Right then, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Lajinha.
Well, I'll be honest with you, straight up, this is a tough stretch for Lajinha. We're looking at a solid 16-day run from the 8th of July onwards, but it's a long, flat spell with no real surf to get excited about. The forecast is telling me there isn't a single session I can recommend, not one. The swell is just not putting any real energy our way.
From Wednesday the 8th right through to Thursday the 23rd of July, the story's the same: poor surf conditions every single day. The swell's sitting anywhere from 2ft to 5ft, but with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds, there's no grunt behind it. The wind is all cross-shore or cross-onshore, and it's never clean. Mornings and afternoons are all the same story – a bit of cross-chop or bumpy conditions. The combined energy is weak to moderate at best, hitting a peak of 366 on the morning of the 22nd, but even then, the conditions are too messy to call it surfable.
Lajinha is a consistent reef break that needs an easterly swell, and what we're getting is mostly from the ESE or E, but it's just not combining with the right wind. The water's sitting at a warm 81° with a temperature anomaly of 0.2°, so that's pretty average for the time of year. But you wouldn't know it from the surf quality – it's just a write-off.
Honestly, if you're gearin' up, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, especially with those steady cross-breezes.
A blank run like this is normal for the area when the conditions don't align, but you know how it goes – it tends not to stay poor for long and forecasts can always change.

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.
