The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Lajinha over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it ain’t looking pretty.
Right from the get-go, we’ve got a problem. This spot is a reef break, and it needs the wind and swell to line up just right. For the entire 16-day window, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. The combined energy of all swells directed here starts at a weak 179 on Sunday morning, 30 August, and never really gets strong enough to save the day. We see a bit of a bump on Monday 31 August, with the energy hitting 421, but that’s about it.
The swell direction is coming from the E or ESE for most of this run, but Lajinha’s optimum swell is from the E. That’s a match, but the wind is the killer. For nearly every session, we’ve got a cross-onshore wind howling at 20–30 km/h, which is going to chop things up badly. On Monday morning 31 August, the swell pushes up to 1.7m (about 6 ft) with an 8-second period, but the wind is still cross-onshore at 25 km/h, so it’ll be messy. By Thursday 3 September, we finally get a bit of offshore wind (ENE at 20 km/h), but the swell drops back to just 1.0m (3 ft) and the energy is a weak 185 – not enough to get excited about.
The water temperature anomaly isn’t mentioned in the data, so I can’t tell you if it’s warmer or cooler than usual.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. There’s no single day where the stars align. The wind is nearly always wrong, and the swell quality is poor. If you’re a kite surfer, the consistent cross-shore winds on the 8th, 9th, and 10th of September might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, this is a total write-off.
We’ve got a solid 16-day gap here where I can’t recommend a single session. It happens sometimes – this area can go quiet. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run. Leave the board at home.

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.
