The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. Grab your board, we’re talking Figueira da Foz.

Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the next few days are a real struggle. After a run of tiny, weak swell and less-than-ideal wind, we’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands before anything really gets going. There’s a noticeable gap of poor conditions for the first several days.

Cabedelo (Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo) is the only game in town, and it’s a beginner-friendly beach setup that’s exposed to the west swell. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.

Tuesday, July 21st kicks off with a tiny 2ft swell from the NNW, period a short 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 78. The morning is glassy with a light southerly breeze, so it’s clean, but there’s just no power. It’s a knee-high ripple at best. The afternoon turns onshore and messy – not worth it.

Wednesday through Friday, July 22nd to 24th, are all in the same boat. Swell hangs around 1 to 2ft, periods are short (5 to 10 seconds), and the energy is barely a whisper (between 38 and 53). The mornings might be glassy but the waves are just too weak to surf. Afternoons are onshore junk.

The weekend of July 25th and 26th sees a bump in size, with swell hitting 5ft, and the energy finally climbs into the moderate range (252 to 352). But the wind is a mess – solid cross and cross-onshore breezes from the NW and N, with speeds up to 18 mph. It’s going to be a choppy, blown-out mess. The wave period is still a short 7 seconds, so it’s just lumpy, weak power. Not the one.

Now, Monday, July 27th is the standout. This is the one you want to circle. The morning brings a clean 5ft swell from the NNW, with a period stretching to 8 seconds and combined energy hitting 365 – a solid moderate push. The wind is glassy out of the NNE, dead calm. This is going to be clean, fun-size surf at Cabedelo. The afternoon will get a bit of cross-onshore wind, so get out early. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook.

Tuesday, July 28th, still has decent size (5ft) and energy (375 to 495), but the wind is a bit more tricky – cross-shore in the morning and onshore in the afternoon. The period is a better 9 seconds, so there’s some shape, but it’s not as clean as Monday.

After that, from Wednesday, July 29th, all the way through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday, August 5th, the swell drops back down. We’re looking at 1 to 4ft, with periods bouncing between 6 and 9 seconds, and energy levels mostly below 200. The wind is a constant cross or cross-onshore, often strong. The only flicker of hope is the morning of August 4th, where a 6ft NNW swell with a very short 6-second period gets a clean cross-offshore wind, but it’s a marginal call.

So, bottom line: a long, quiet start. The one real window is Monday, July 27th, early. Get on it, because the rest of the fortnight is a write-off.
