The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, looking at the surf for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo. It’s a bit of a mixed bag coming up over the next couple of weeks, but there are a few windows where it’ll get good.
Right now, we’re coming off a few days of choppy, messy conditions. The first decent lineup of the forecast kicks off on the morning of Thursday, 12th September with a tiny 3ft swell from the NNW, but the real treat is the glassy conditions – dead calm, clean as a whistle. That’s a surfable wave, but it’s small, so keep your expectations in check.
The standout session of the whole outlook is the morning of Friday, 13th September. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NW with a solid 13-second period (that’s quality groundswell), and a light offshore breeze from the ENE. The combined energy is moderate (495), so there’s some push behind it. That long period will make it a bit walled at this beach/pier setup, but it’ll be good for a longboard or a fun mid-length. The wind is going to be perfect, making it a true glassy morning.
The next real highlight is the morning of Monday, 14th September. Another clean day with 4ft NW swell, 11-second period, and a light cross-off breeze from the SE. Combined energy is moderate (365). It won’t be huge, but it’ll be clean and fun.
After that, things get a bit ordinary. There’s a gap of a few days with only marginal or poor surf. Then on the morning of Thursday, 18th September, we get a glassy morning with 4ft NW swell, 9-second period, and combined energy of 320. That’s a clean, small day.
The last real standout in the distant zone is the morning of Thursday, 24th September. This one’s promising but less certain being so far out. We’re looking at 6ft of NW swell, 9-second period, with a light cross-off breeze from the NNE. The combined energy is strong (636), and the forecast suggests very good conditions. That’s the biggest swell of the forecast, but it’s a short period, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. Still, for a beach break, that’s a fun size.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no need to worry about a wetsuit thickness change.
Rusty out.
