Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Figueira da Foz has in store for us.

To be straight with you, the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of days with tiny, weak, and messy surf. The energy is just not there, with combined swell energy readings barely climbing out of the double digits (76 to 149). The swell is small, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, and the period is short – under 10 seconds – so it’s all windswell and no push. The winds are also all over the shop, mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy. There’s a bit of a tease on the morning of Wednesday, 15 July, with glassy conditions on a 1ft swell, but it’s just too small to get excited about. This is a long, dry spell for surfers.

Things finally start to look up around Sunday, 19 July. The swell picks up to 5ft, coming from the NNW, and the morning shows a clean, cross-offshore wind. The combined energy jumps to 232 (moderate), and even though the period is short (7 seconds), it’s the first real sign of life. The surf is still considered marginal, but it’s a step in the right direction.

The standout window, and the best bet in the whole 16-day outlook, is Monday, 20 July, and Tuesday, 21 July. On Monday morning, we’ve got a solid 5ft of groundswell from the NNW with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the ESE. The energy is ramping up into the 200s (249). But the real gem is Tuesday morning, 21 July. The wind drops to nothing – glassy conditions – and the swell is a clean 5ft from the NNW. The combined energy hits 322 (strong), and the period stretches to 8 seconds. This is the pick of the bunch. Cabedelo will be offering up some fun, clean waves. For beginners, the 5ft to 5ft is on the upper end of manageable, but it’s doable. For everyone else, this is a great morning session. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so expect company.

After that, the surf fades again. The rest of the week into the 24th and 25th of July sees the swell bumping up again, but the winds turn onshore or cross-shore, making it messy. The swell gets bigger, up to 6ft on the 24th, but with a 7-second period and onshore wind, it’s going to be a lumpy, blown-out mess. Not worth the paddle out for most.

So, the takeaway: get your skates on for the morning of Tuesday, 21 July. That’s your best shot at some clean, fun waves in Figueira.

Stay stoked.
Rusty
