The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Lajinha has in store for us over the coming weeks. I've got to be straight with you – it's a tough outlook.
Right now, and for the foreseeable future, we’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf. The first recommendation doesn't come until the 31st of August, and honestly, it’s not a good one. From that Monday morning through to at least the 15th of September, every single session is marked as poor. That’s over two weeks of choppy, messy conditions.
The main issue is the wind. It’s a relentless cross-onshore breeze, mostly from the ESE and SE, blowing at 12 to 18 mph. This is tearing up what little swell we have. The swell is coming from the east, which is the optimum direction for Lajinha, but the energy is weak to moderate. Wave heights hover around 3 ft to 6 ft, but with a short period of 6 to 9 seconds, there’s no power or shape to it. The combined swell energy is mostly in the low to mid hundreds, which confirms it’s just not packing any punch.
The water temperature is sitting at 81°F, which is about average for this time of year, which is nice, but you’ll be paddling around in junk.
There are no standouts here, not even one. Every single day is a write-off for a decent paddle. With the swell being weak and the wind constantly on it, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than for a traditional surf. If you’ve got a kite, you might have some fun in the cross-shore winds, but for a surfboard, you’re better off waiting for a change in the forecast.
It’s a bleak run, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Forecasts can always change, but for now, I’d give it a miss.
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.
