The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window looks pretty grim for a proper surf at Lajinha. We've got a constant stream of east and southeast wind, blowing cross to cross-onshore almost the entire time, which is just going to chop things up and keep the surface messy. The swell sticks to a short-period, weak easterly energy, never really getting the chance to build into something clean.
Now, the water temp is sitting at a balmy 81° here at Lajinha, which is pretty average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Starting Sunday the 30th, we're looking at 4 ft of weak, short-period ESE swell (160 combined energy), but with a 16 mph cross-breeze, it's just not worth paddling out for. That trend continues right through the week. Monday the 31st sees a spike in energy up to 421, but the swell is only 6 ft from the east with an 8-second period and strong cross-onshore wind – it's going to be a messy, lumpy mess, not a surfable wave.
The pattern holds all the way through to the end of the second week. We get a subtle bump in energy around Tuesday the 8th of September with a 5-5 ft ESE swell (235 combined energy), but again, it's accompanied by a fresh 19 mph cross-breeze. The setup is just too choppy for a good paddle session. Honestly, given the consistent cross-wind and mostly beach/reef setup, this window looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for anyone on a standard surfboard.
The one day that offered a slight hope was Thursday the 3rd of September, with a brief window of offshore wind (ENE at 12 mph) in the morning, but the swell was only 3 ft on an 8-second period. Even then, the "poor surf conditions" tag tells you it’s not the one. Consistency is a problem here – it's not that the waves aren't coming, it's that they're coming with bad wind, every time.
So, with no true standouts, no days with that magic combo of good swell and clean wind, my best advice is to give the ocean a miss, maybe tune up the board, and wait for the next pattern change. It doesn't usually stay this poor for so long, so I'm hopeful.
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.
