The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Figueira da Foz – Cabedelo.
First thing, the water’s sitting at 21°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. A nice little bonus.
Honestly, the first week is a struggle. From Friday the 24th all the way through to the end of July, the conditions are just rough. The swell is small, mostly under 1m, and the wind is either onshore or cross-shore, leaving it choppy and messy. The combined energy is weak, barely hitting 56 (Friday morning) and only reaching 358 (Friday 31st afternoon). No real push.
There is one tiny window Monday morning the 27th and Tuesday morning the 28th. Both mornings start glassy, with the swell around 1.1m to 1.2m from the NNW, and the period on Tuesday even stretches to 10 seconds. That’s clean, small, and rideable, but the energy is only moderate (206 and 270). It’s not a classic, but if you’ve got a longboard and a quiet morning, you might get a few.
Then we get to Saturday the 1st of August. That’s the real standout. The swell jumps to 2.2m from the WNW, with a 13-second period. That’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is massive at 1581 – strong wave energy. The wind is light and cross-shore in the morning, which is about as clean as it gets for Cabedelo. But that size is expert territory, especially for a beach/pier setup. The long period means it might close out and be powerful, so you’ll need to be sharp. The afternoon gets messier with a cross-onshore breeze, so the morning is the only window.
After that, the surf drops back and the wind stays cross or cross-onshore for the rest of the run. Sunday the 2nd still has some size (1.7m) and a decent 11-second period, but the wind is just okay, and the energy is moderate (703). It’s a look, but not the main event.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is mostly a bust, with only a couple of glassy mornings for small, clean waves. The big highlight is Saturday the 1st of August morning – powerful, big swell, clean wind, but only for the experts. Crowds are possible at Cabedelo, so get there early if you’re going for it.
Rusty.
