Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – it’s looking pretty grim. For a solid week, from Saturday the 11th right through to Thursday the 16th, we’re stuck with tiny, weak waves that are just not worth paddling out for. The energy is pitiful, mostly under 100 (moderate), and the wind is all over the shop – cross, cross-on, onshore – making a mess of what little bump there is. You’d be better off polishing your board.
Things start to look a little different on Friday the 17th. The swell picks up a bit, but it’s a short-period, wind-affected mess. The wind is howling cross-shore at 15 mph and the wave quality is poor. Saturday the 18th sees the biggest swell of the period, with waves hitting 6 ft, but again, a strong cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions make it more of a kite-surfing show than a surfing one. The combined energy is moderate (389), but the wind is just too strong for a clean face.
The one and only standout comes on Wednesday the 22nd of July. The morning session is your best bet. We’ll have a clean 5 ft swell from the northwest with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm. That’s a rare treat for Cabedelo (Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo). The combined energy is moderate (279), and the waves will be clean and lined up. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so it’ll be a fun, easy paddle. The crowds are sometimes there, so you might have a few others in the water, but with conditions that good, it’s worth it.
After that, the wind turns ugly again for the rest of the week, with onshore and cross-shore breezes messing up the smaller swells. There’s a brief window on Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st with a cross-offshore breeze and waist-high waves, but the energy is still moderate and the quality is just "ordinary" – not something to get excited about.
So, for the whole 16-day window, the only real highlight is Wednesday the 22nd of July. If you can get out for that morning glass-off, you’ll be smiling. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
