The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I'm looking at the surf here for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo. Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. The water's sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing out there.
The first real glimmer of something rideable doesn't show up until Saturday morning, 1st of August. We've got a tiny 4 ft swell from the NNW, but the real story here is the wind. It's glassy – absolutely dead flat calm. That's a huge positive for clean conditions. The combined energy is only moderate at 183, so it's not going to be a powerhouse session, but it's surfable, just very ordinary.
After that, we're back into a long stretch of poor surf. The wind is mostly cross-on or cross, and the swell is small and messy. Sunday the 2nd, Monday the 3rd, Tuesday the 4th – it's all the same story: small, choppy junk. The wind stays up, and the waves just don't have any shape.
Now, there's a bit of a pulse of size coming through. On Monday morning, 10th of August, the swell bumps up to 5 ft from the NNW, and it gets bigger. By Tuesday the 11th, we're looking at 7 ft, and by Wednesday morning, 12th of August, we've got a solid 8 ft swell from the NNW with strong wave energy at 773. The wind is cross-shore, which is okay, but the problem is this break, Cabedelo, is a beach/pier setup. With that much swell, it's going to be way too big for beginners, and even for the crew out there, the combo of size and a shorter period around 9 seconds is going to make it a wild, bumpy mess. It's wind and tide favorable, but the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. It's honestly more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session. The same goes for the rest of that week, with swell staying over 6 ft and choppy conditions.
So, to sum it up: the only true standout is that glassy, 4 ft morning on Saturday, 1st of August. It's small, but it's clean. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off for decent paddle surfing. The size that comes in mid-August is just too much for Cabedelo, and the wind ruins any chance of it being good.
Rusty.
