Table - best surf conditions forecast for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the surf forecast for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo over the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be honest with you, it’s looking pretty grim. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands.
The first solid chance to even think about a paddle won't come until Sunday, the 12th of July. Up until then, it’s pretty much a write-off. From Tuesday the 7th right through to Saturday the 11th, the waves are small, the periods are short, and the wind is all over the place – mostly cross or cross-onshore. You’re looking at tiny 1-foot to 2-foot mush with no energy to speak of.
Sunday, 12th July – things finally change a bit. We get a little spike in energy, with the combined swell energy reading at (118). The morning is looking clear and glassy with a light wind from the west. The swell is a tiny 2 feet from the northwest with a 9-second period. It’s not going to be world-class, but for the first time in over a week, the conditions are surfable. Because it’s so small, it’ll be fine for beginners. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is a touch colder than usual for this time of year.
Monday, 13th July morning offers a similar window – glassy conditions again with a light WSW wind. The swell is still small at 2 feet from the NNW, and the energy is moderate at (107). It’s another session for the small-wave gear, but it’s clean. The afternoons both days get chopped up by onshore breezes, so get out early if you can.
After that brief glimpse of hope, it all falls apart again. The rest of the week and into the next is plagued by tiny surf and onshore winds. There’s a small bump in swell around the 16th of July, hitting 3 feet from the west, but it’s paired with howling cross-onshore winds, making it a total mess. For a beginner-friendly beach break like Cabedelo, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The last real chance in the 16-day window looks like it might show up on the morning of Sunday, 19th of July, where we see 3 feet of NW swell again, but the wind is cross-shore. It’s not clean, but it’s the biggest wave height in the whole period. The energy is moderate (119), but the wind will ruin the face. There is a tiny glass-off on the Monday, 20th July morning, but with only 1 feet on offer, you’d be fighting for knee-high dribbles.
It’s a frustrating outlook. A lot of blank days broken only by fleeting, small windows of clean but tiny surf. The pattern doesn't look like it will change drastically. Stay tuned, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
