The Lowdown

Right then, let's have a look at what's cookin' for Figueira da Foz over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it's a bit of a mixed bag to start with. We've got some small swell around, but the wind just won't play ball for most of it. The real standout window is shaping up for Sunday the 6th of September, and then possibly a long-range option on the 16th, but that's a way off yet.

The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing to get excited about.

For the first few days, it's a write-off for anything decent. Tuesday the 1st is poor, with a messy 5ft NW windswell and a nasty cross-onshore wind. Wednesday the 2nd has a brief window of hope in the morning – we get a cleaner 4ft swell from the NNW with a light cross-offshore breeze, and with a combined energy of 203 (moderate), it's worth a paddle. But it's small. The afternoon turns to crap again. Thursday the 3rd morning is glassy, but the swell is a weak 3ft (energy 116), so it's a knee-basher at best.

Things start to look up towards the end of the week. Saturday the 5th has clean morning conditions with a 3ft NW swell, but it's still tiny.
Then we get our best call. Sunday the 6th of September is the one to circle. Early morning at Cabedelo, it's glassy as a mirror, with a decent 4ft groundswell from the NW. The period is a lovely 12 seconds, giving it some real grunt and shape, and the combined energy is a solid 498 (moderate). This is going to be your cleanest, most fun surf of the whole forecast. Expect a few others out, as it's only "sometimes" crowded, but with conditions this good, get in early.

After that, the wind gets messy again. Monday the 7th has a bigger 5ft WNW swell (energy 866), but it's cross-shore and a bit lumpy. Not terrible, but not the classic you'd hope for. Tuesday the 8th is messy cross-on again with a short-period 6ft NNW windswell – that's more of a churn than a wave.

The whole second week is pretty grim for clean conditions, with onshore and cross-onshore winds ruining most of it. There's a glimmer on Wednesday the 16th of September. The morning shows a promising 6ft NW groundswell with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is pumping at 977 (strong). The wind is light and cross-shore. This could be a serious session if the wind holds, but it's a long way out, so don't book the ferry just yet. Be warned, that's getting into expert territory at 6ft. The afternoons for that whole second week are pretty much all blown out.

So, get in the water on Sunday the 6th and keep a very loose eye on the 16th. The rest, you're better off cleaning the wax off your board.
