The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Lajinha.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this stretch is looking flat and messy for quite a while. We’ve got a solid gap of nothing worth paddling out for from now until around the 21st of July. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore from the southeast, the swell is tiny and short-period, and the wave comment keeps calling it "poor". The water temp sits at about 81°F with a normal anomaly – feels about right for this time of year.
The first flicker of something half-decent shows up on the morning of Monday, 21st July. We’ve got some ESE swell pushing 6ft, with a period around 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 626 – that’s moderate-to-strong energy. It’s a reef break, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSE, so it’ll be clean for a session. But the surf quality is only called “marginal” – the tide might mess with it, and it’s not a true standout. Still, if you’re desperate, it’s the best we’ve got.
Tuesday morning, 22nd July, also looks promising: 4ft from ESE, 8-second period, combined energy of 227, and the wind is cross-offshore again. The waves should be clean. But the rest of that week stays choppy and poor. Crowds are only “sometimes” here, so that’s one positive – you won’t be fighting for waves.
There’s nothing else in this 16-day window that really rises above the rest. No true standouts, no epic groundswell, just a long stretch of onshore slop. This reef at Lajinha usually needs a cleaner angle and some period to really fire, and we’re not getting that.
Sorry, folks – sometimes you get a run like this. The forecasts can change, but for now, it’s mostly a waiting game.
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.
