Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lajinha over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks. Rusty again. Let's break down the next couple of weeks in feet and miles per hour.
I have to be honest with you, it's a rough outlook. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for Lajinha. We're looking at a relentless run of east-southeast to southeast winds that are just blowing the place out with cross or cross-onshore conditions. There's a bit of swell, but it's all short-period windswell, barely 6 to 7 seconds, which gives you nothing but crumbly, choppy, weak waves. The combined energy is low, mostly in the 90s and 100s (weak energy) for the first week, so there's no power behind it.
Water temperature is a normal 81° for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's average. The conditions are just poor for surfing. The swell is coming from the east, which is the right direction for this reef, but the wind and quality ruin it.
The second week sees a little more size, but the story doesn't change. Swell heights push up to 5 to 6 feet from the 20th of July, and combined energy climbs into the 400s (strong wave energy), but it's still all messy, cross-onshore muck. The period stretches to 8–9 seconds, but it's not the clean groundswell we need. The energy is there, but the wind is relentless. By the 22nd and 23rd, we're looking at fresh cross-shore breezes and lumpy, rough conditions.
I've scanned every single entry, and there isn't one standout session. Every forecast call is for poor surf. You might get a lucky window if the wind lays down for an hour, but based on what I see, there's nothing to recommend. It's a complete blank run for the whole 16 days.
Rusty, out.

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.
Lajinha is 15 km (9 miles) from Canguaretama. If you plan a holiday in Rio Grande Do Norte, look for hotels and other accommodation in Canguaretama. Canguaretama has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
