The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: this isn't one of those weeks where you're scrambling for your board. We've got a stretch ahead that's pretty grim for the paddle, so let's get into it.
Right off the bat, the outlook for Lajinha is a tough one. This exposed reef break can handle a swell, but the wind is just killing it. We're looking at the entire 16-day run starting from the 8th of September, and mate, it's a long, flat spell for quality surf. The wind is locked in from the SE and ESE, blowing cross or cross-onshore, and it's a moderate to fresh breeze, so that water is going to be choppy and lumpy. There's no let-up in the wind direction for the whole period.
The swell is there, but it's doing us no favours. We’ve got waves from 3ft to 5ft, all coming from the E or ESE, but the period is short – mostly 6 to 8 seconds. That's a weak, wind-affected wave. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate, hitting a peak of 330 on the 11th of September afternoon, but again, it's all messy. The water temperature is 81° which is a touch above average for this time of year, but you won't be enjoying it in these conditions.
There is no standout day. Honestly, every single entry in the forecast says "poor surf conditions." The wind never goes offshore (which for this spot would be from the WSW), and it's never light or glassy. It's just a constant run of cross-onshore chop. The whole 16-day window is a write-off. For a consistent spot like this, it's a bit of a shocker, but sometimes you get a run like this. If you're looking at this setup, it's honestly more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the steady cross-shore wind and the bumpy surface.
Keep an eye on the charts, because runs like this don't last forever, but for now, leave the board in the car.
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.
