The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days at Lygia reef (Brazil) are a bust. It’s a tough one to write, but I’ve got to call it like I see it. There’s simply no good surf on offer. The entire outlook is packed with "poor surf conditions" from start to finish. That’s a long stretch with nothing to get excited about.
The water temperature is sitting at 81°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s slightly out of the ordinary.
We’ve got a few days where the wind lays down glassy in the mornings – like Friday the 7th (0.7 ft from the WSW, period 5 seconds) and Saturday the 8th (1.0 ft from the WNW, period 4 seconds) – but the swell is just too small and weak. The combined energy barely registers (2 and 3). It’s barely a ripple. The same story repeats: tiny 1.0 ft to 1 ft waves, short periods under 8 seconds, and mostly cross-onshore winds in the afternoons messing up the surface.
The best-looking combo on paper might be Monday morning, the 10th of August: clear skies, a light ENE cross-off breeze at 6 mph, and 1 ft from the NW with a 5-second period. Clean conditions, but again, the energy is just 7. It’s marginal.
Honestly, this reef is inconsistent as it is, and when it’s flat, it’s flat. There’s no standout day, no window for a proper session. This blank run is just the way it goes sometimes for this area. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
Rusty.

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