The Lowdown
Listen up, crew. Rusty here. This 16-day outlook for Lajinha is a tough one to write – there’s basically nothing on offer. The wind is stuck in a bad pattern, either cross or cross-onshore, and the wave comment is always “poor surf conditions.” The whole block from now until the end of August is a dry spell. Don’t expect any standouts.
Starting Tuesday, August 11th, it’s a mess. Morning brings 3ft of SE swell with a short 7-second period, and a 16 mph cross-shore wind from the SE. Water temp is 81°F, about average for the season, but that doesn’t matter when the surf is junk. The afternoon kicks up to a 19 mph breeze, making it even lumpier.
Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th are a repeat: 4ft to 5ft of short-period ESE swell, but the wind stays cross or fresh cross-shore, creating a bumpy, ugly surface. Thursday morning sees a spike in energy (moderate), but the chop kills it.
From Friday the 14th all the way through the 26th, it’s the same story: tiny swell (under 4ft), and a constant cross-onshore breeze from the ESE at 12-16 mph. There’s a moment on Sunday the 16th with a 5ft ESE bump and a 12-second period – a groundswell – but the 19 mph cross-shore wind slams the door shut. The energy readings bob around in the weak-to-moderate range (90 to 338), and the wave periods are short, meaning no power or shape.
Forget about surfing. This is a kiteboarder’s forecast. The wind is strong enough and onshore enough for them, but for a surfer, it’s a total washout. Save your energy and wait for a proper swell. 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.
