Table - best surf conditions forecast for Laranjeiras over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into the local surf outlook for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, don’t get too excited for the first few days. The opening weekend and Monday are a write-off – the swell is tiny and messy, with cross-shore winds and even a risk of thunderstorms. It’s a flat start. We’ve got a big gap with no real surf on offer until things start to show some life.
Tuesday, July 14th is where the window cracks open. Things are looking up, especially for the afternoon. The swell comes up to 6 ft from the SSE, and with a period of 11 seconds, that’s a proper groundswell with some energy behind it (combined energy of 803). The wind swings around to a light cross-offshore, and the forecast says surf conditions could be very good. This is the standout of the whole period. The wave direction is a solid match for the optimum swell direction.
Wednesday, July 15th, keeps the good vibes going. Morning sees 6 ft from the SE with a clean cross-offshore breeze, and by the afternoon the wind goes fully offshore from the east, cleaning up the 5 ft swell nicely. Good, consistent waves for a couple of days.
Now, after that, the swell drops off a cliff. From Thursday, July 16th, right through to the end of the third week, it’s tiny. Most days we’re looking at 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft. The water temp is around 71°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The only real flicker of life comes on Thursday, July 23rd, where the swell nudges up to 2 ft from the south with a period of 13 seconds. The combined energy is a modest 133, and while it’s surfable, conditions are very ordinary – glassy in the morning, but the size is just ankle-snappers.
The very end of the period, around July 25th and 26th, shows a slight bump to 3 ft from the south with a 12-second period, but the wind is a cross to cross-on, and the rain starts spitting on Sunday. It’s not the clean, punchy stuff we had on the 14th, but it’s at least something to paddle out for.
Bottom line: The best surf on offer is Tuesday afternoon, July 14th, at Laranjeiras. That 6 ft SSE groundswell with the light cross-offshore wind is the one to circle. After that, it’s a long flat spell with only a few very ordinary, small days to keep you company.
Rusty.

Information about the Laranjeiras Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Laranjeiras provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Laranjeiras can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Laranjeiras 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 (Laranjeiras) 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 Laranjeiras 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.
