The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks at Figueira da Foz. We're looking at a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows of clean surf to get excited about.

The overall pattern looks like a bit of a slow start, but it's not a total washout. The first few days have some size, but the wind is a bit of a pest. The best bet is to be patient and pick your moments, especially in the mornings.

We'll kick things off on Saturday the 15th. The morning has a 6ft NW swell running, but it's coming in with a cross-shore N wind at 6 mph, making things a bit choppy. The combined wave energy is moderate at 452, but the conditions are just not clean enough for a good session. The afternoon gets worse with the wind swinging cross-onshore and picking up to 12 mph.

Sunday the 16th is a better shout. The morning is looking clean with a light NNE cross-offshore breeze at just 3 mph. The swell is a solid 6ft from the NNW, and the wave energy is moderate at 399. It's a good size for a beginner-friendly spot like Cabedelo, but it's not too big. The afternoon, however, gets messy again with a strong cross-onshore wind.

Now, Monday the 17th is where it's at. The morning is a standout. We're talking glassy conditions with a light S wind at 3 mph, practically no wind at all. The swell is 5ft from the NNW, period is 8 seconds, and the combined energy is 290. It's going to be clean, fun, and the crowds are only "sometimes" an issue. This is the best session of the whole forecast period. The water is sitting at 69°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The rest of that week and into the next is a bit of a write-off. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell drops right off, with energy dipping below 100 from Wednesday onwards. There's a long gap here with no real recommendations.

We do get a little flicker of hope on Tuesday the 25th. The morning has a 5ft NNW swell and a light cross-offshore NNE breeze at 9 mph, keeping things clean. The energy is 243, so it's a fun, manageable size. It's not a standout like Monday the 17th, but it's a solid session.

After that, it's a slow fade into the end of the month. The swell gets small and the wind is mostly messy. The 30th of August shows a little pulse of 4ft from the WNW with a clean cross-offshore SE wind in the morning, which is worth a look if you're desperate, but it's nothing to write home about.

So, to sum it up: hit Monday morning the 17th for the cleanest, best waves. Tuesday the 25th is your next best bet. The rest of the time, you're better off waiting for the next swell.

Rusty.
