The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the ocean’s got cookin’ for us at Figueira da Foz.

Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a slow start. The first couple of days are a write-off, honestly. Thursday and Friday are nothing but cross-onshore chop and poor conditions. You’d be wasting your time. The energy is there, but it’s just messy. The wait is on.

Now, hold onto your board. Saturday morning, the 15th of August, the swell jumps up to 8 ft from the NW. That’s a lot of juice, with combined energy hitting 699. Problem is, that’s too big for this beginner-friendly beach break for most of us. The wind is cross-shore, creating a chop. The afternoon is even worse. This is kite-surfing territory for sure, not a paddle session. The swell is short-period too, only 8 seconds, so it’ll be a lumpy mess.

The true standout is Sunday morning, the 16th of August. We’ve got 6 ft of swell from the NNW. The wind goes glassy, absolute perfection. The combined energy is a solid 463, so there’s plenty of push. The period is still short at 8 seconds, but with those clean, smooth conditions, Cabedelo will be firing for the better beginners and intermediates. This is the one to target. It will be clean, with no wind ripples.

Monday morning, the 17th of August, is another cracker. Again, glassy conditions, 6 ft swell from the NNW, and 393 combined energy. Another morning of clean, fun waves before the onshore wind ruins it by afternoon. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Tuesday morning, the 18th, sees the wind swing to a light cross-offshore from the SSE, keeping things clean with 4 ft of swell. A solid choice for a morning session, but the swell is dropping. After that, it goes quiet again. There’s a gap from Tuesday afternoon all the way through the following week with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell gets small, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore. It’s a bleak run.

Looking way ahead, there’s a glimmer on Thursday the 27th of August. The morning session has a 7 ft swell from the NNW with clean, cross-offshore winds from the NNE and combined energy of 476. That looks promising on paper, but we’re over a week out, so keep one eye on it. The period is still short, so it’ll be a bit walled up at the beach, but the wind might just make it work.

So, to sum it up: forget the first few days. Your best bet is this weekend – Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th of August for those glassy morning windows. That’s your best on offer. Keep an eye on the 27th, but don’t book the time off yet.

Rusty.
