The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this 16-day window for Figueira da Foz is a tough one. We're looking at Cabedelo, and honestly, for the vast majority of this period, the surf is a real struggle. There's a long, grim stretch of tiny, weak waves or rubbish conditions that just aren't worth paddling out for. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll want a decent spring suit.
From Thursday the 16th all the way through to the end of July, the forecast is basically a write-off. We're talking about small, often choppy, onshore slop with low energy (32 to 144 for the combined swell energy). The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is either too small or too short-period to do anything with. There's a little bump of 3ft on Monday the 20th, but it's onshore wind and a short period, so it's just messy. This is a real blank run for the area.
The one single standout, the only light at the end of the tunnel, is Friday the 31st of July. The morning session is looking like the only real chance in the whole forecast. We get a solid pulse of 5ft NW swell with a decent period of 12 seconds. The real winner here is the wind: a light, offshore breeze from the NE. That'll keep Cabedelo clean, with clean waves. The combined energy is a strong 851, so there's real power in the water. This is a proper, long-range promise, so keep an eye on it, but it's the only window worth planning around. The afternoon looks like it'll get blown out by a strong cross-shore, so get in early.
So, to sum it up: we've got two weeks of grimness, then one potential morning of glory. Set your alarm for the 31st.
Rusty.
