The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Figueira da Foz.
Right off the bat, you’ve got to be patient. The first week is a bit of a write-off, with a lot of cross-shore and cross-onshore winds messing up the waves. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
The first real chance for a dip is on Thursday morning, the 10th of September, at Cabedelo. We’re looking at a clean 5ft swell out of the NNW with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. The energy is moderate (416), but the wind makes it worthwhile for a beginner-friendly wave. It won’t be a world-beater, but it’ll be a fun little session.
The standout, the one to really circle on the calendar, is the morning of Sunday the 13th of September. Get yourself down to Cabedelo for a glassy, offshore easterly wind and a clean 4ft groundswell from the NW. The period is a long 13 seconds, which gives those waves some real punch and shape for a beach break like this. The combined energy is strong (508), and the “very good surf conditions” tag tells you it’s the pick of the bunch. Just remember, with that long period, the sets will be a bit more spaced out.
A few other mornings are worth a mention for the patient surfer. There’s a glassy session on Saturday morning the 12th of September with 4ft, and another glassy one the following Saturday morning the 19th of September with 5ft. And if you’re looking ahead, the morning of Sunday the 20th of September looks promising with a calm, glassy 6ft from the NNW and a solid energy reading (548). It’s a bit further out, so treat it as a promising bet rather than a sure thing.
Be aware that by the afternoon of Thursday the 17th of September and into the 18th, the swell gets too big for Cabedelo, hitting over 8ft. That’s expert-only territory, and even then, the wind is messy. For the rest of us, that’s a stay-on-the-beach day.
So, to sum it up: the 13th of September morning is your golden ticket. Get it while it’s good.
