The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Figueira da Foz. It’s been a pretty quiet spell, and we’re looking at a long stretch of mediocrity before a tiny window of something decent. I’m talking about Cabedelo.
The first real chance to paddle out without getting frustrated doesn’t show up until Monday morning, the 27th of July. We’ve had days of choppy, onshore junk before that. Thursday the 23rd right through the weekend is a write-off – messy cross-shore winds, swirling directions, and the swell is all over the place. The energy is low, barely hitting 80 in the combined readings. It’s just not worth it.
So, Monday the 27th is our first real standout. It’s a glassy morning with the wind dropping right out to near nothing. The swell is a clean 4 ft from the NNW, with a period of 7 seconds. That’s short-period stuff, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but the glassy conditions will make it look way better than it is. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing crazy. The combined energy is moderate at 263, so there’s a bit of push. For a beginner-friendly beach break like Cabedelo, this is your best bet. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
The window doesn’t last, though. By Monday afternoon, the wind swings back onshore and it’s game over. Tuesday morning, the 28th, is marginal with a light cross-onshore breeze, but it’s not inspiring. The swell is 5 ft from the NNW with a longer period of 9 seconds, which would be nice, but the wind just messes it up.
We then hit another dry spell. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and the first weekend of August are all suffering from onshore winds and messy conditions. The swell tries to pick up on Sunday the 2nd of August, hitting 5 ft from the NW, but it’s accompanied by a strong cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy gets up to 505, which is moderate to strong, but with the wind chop, it’s just a messy, choppy bowl. Honestly, Sunday looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing.
The outlook stays pretty grim right through to the 7th of August. There’s no other standout on the horizon. It’s a long, lean run.
To sum it up: if you’ve got a window, hit Cabedelo on Monday morning, the 27th of July, for the cleanest but still small conditions. After that, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
