The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough run. The whole 16-day window is filled with “poor surf conditions” and every single session is a zero out of ten. There’s no standout day, no hidden gem. The wind is locked in from the ESE, blowing cross-onshore at Lajinha, keeping things choppy and messy. The swell is coming from the east, which is the optimum direction for this spot, but it doesn’t matter when the wind is ruining it.

The first real chance to get wet isn’t until September 5th (Saturday afternoon). You’ve got a tiny 2ft east swell with a period of just 7 seconds – that’s short-period, weak windswell with combined energy of only 98. It’s not going to do much. The water temp is a warm 81°, which is about normal for this time of year.

From there, the surf bumps up a bit – by September 11th (Friday) we’re seeing 5ft east swell with periods of 8 seconds and combined energy hitting 285 to 288. That’s moderate energy, but the wind is still cross-onshore from the ESE at 15-16 mph, so it’s going to be lumpy and choppy. For a reef break like Lajinha, that’s not going to be a fun paddle. It’s not too big for experienced surfers, but the quality just isn’t there.

The rest of the forecast is a carbon copy: small to moderate east swell, weak periods (6-8 seconds), and that pesky cross-onshore wind. The best energy you’ll see is around September 11th-12th with combined energy values in the 280-293 range, but it’s all wasted on poor conditions. The swell direction is east, which is what Lajinha likes, but the wind is the enemy here.

Because it’s a reef break and it’s consistent, you’d normally expect something to work, but this stretch is a total blank. You’re looking at 16 days of nothing worth paddling out for. If you’re a kite surfer, the cross-shore wind might look interesting, but for a surfer? Stay home and wash your wetsuit.

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.

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.
