The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up to be at Figueira da Foz. We're looking at Cabedelo for the whole run, a classic beach and pier setup that's pretty exposed to whatever swell is rolling in.

Right now, things are a bit of a mess. We've got some inconsistent swell, but the wind is all wrong. The first few days are a write-off, with a moderate cross-shore breeze and a messy cross-chop making for poor conditions. The swell energy is moderate, but it's just not clean enough to bother with.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday, 27th July. The morning is looking like a proper window. We've got a 4ft swell from the NNW, but more importantly, the wind is a light easterly going glassy. That's a major positive, and it'll be clean. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit of a close-out at times, but for a beginner-friendly spot, it's about as good as it gets in this run. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing strange going on there.

Tuesday, 28th July is another morning standout. The swell is a touch bigger, 4ft from the NNW, but the period jumps to 10 seconds, which is a nice long-period groundswell. That extra length will give the waves a bit more shape and power. The wind is glassy again, so it'll be smooth. It's a good one.

Wednesday and Thursday drop right off, becoming small and weak. The energy levels fall, and the surf is barely worth a mention. The following weekend, 31st July through 1st August, stays small and messy, with a persistent cross-shore wind.

Now, looking further ahead to the second week, there's a big pulse of energy forecast for the 5th of August. The swell energy goes through the roof, with a 7ft swell from the NNW. That's a lot of water. The problem is, the wind is a moderate cross-shore, and the period is a short 8 seconds. It's also predicted to be too big for this break, so it's a definite pass for paddle surfing. The wind is fresh on the 5th afternoon, so it's more of a kite-surfing setup than a surfing one.

The rest of that week stays big, with swells over 5ft and up to 6ft, but the wind is consistently cross-shore or cross-onshore, keeping it choppy and poor. The 9th of August has a morning onshore breeze and a 6ft swell, but it's described as marginal, so it's not a good bet.

To sum it up: the best of the run is those two mornings, Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th of July. They're the only clear windows for a decent, clean surf. The rest is a mix of small, weak swell or big, messy, blown-out conditions. It's a bit of a waiting game.
