The Lowdown

Alright, grab a seat, folks. Let’s talk about your local scene. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but honestly, it’s a bit of a bummer. The surf is going to be messy, with a persistent cross-shore hook to the wind keeping things chopped up. There’s a run of nothing good from the start, all the way through to the end of the period. The biggest issue is that we’ve got a stiff southeasterly breeze blowing across the break.

We’re kicking off on Monday, July 27th, and the story doesn't change much. The swell is a weak little 3 ft from the ESE, but it’s coming in with a short 7-second period and a combined energy of just 74. That’s barely a ripple. The wind is a moderate 12 mph from the SE, sitting right on the sand, making it a cross-shore mess. It’s poor.

This same pattern locks in. Tuesday the 28th brings a little more height at 3 ft, but still a short period and cross-shore wind. Wednesday the 29th is the same sad story, just a bit more swell. Thursday the 30th, the energy picks up to 163 during the morning, but the wind keeps it ugly. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about normal for the time of year.

The only real story here is that the swell gets a bit fatter toward the end of the first week. By Saturday, August 1st, we’re seeing 6 ft of ESE swell, but the period is still a short 7 seconds, and the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore. The energy hits 328, but it’s all lumpy, messy, and cross-chopped. It’s not worth a paddle.

Heading into the second week, the trend continues. The swell hangs around 4 ft to 6 ft, with the wind refusing to swing clean. The energy keeps climbing a bit, with the morning of Thursday, August 6th showing a combined energy of 574, which is solidly moderate. But the wind is still a cross-onshore 16 mph, meaning you’re looking at a choppy, bumpy surface. The waves will be weak and crumbling with that short period.

There are zero standouts here. The best you could hope for would be a sneaky peak on the inside during a lull, but the wind is going to ruin it. With the swell size staying under 7 ft and the wind locked in, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There’s a gap of absolutely no surfable conditions that stretches the entire 16-day forecast. The break is consistent, but the conditions are not. It’s a tough run, but it won’t stay poor forever.

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.
