The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple of weeks here at Figueira da Foz.
We’re looking at Cabedelo, a beach and pier break that’s wide open to the west. Water temp is about 67°, which is pretty standard for this time of year. The first real chance to get a wave is Saturday morning, August 29th. The swell is a clean 5ft from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the NNE. That’s a beautiful morning for a surf, with a combined energy of 336. It’s a spot that’s good for beginners, so you’ll have fun, but you might see a few others out there.
After that, things get messy. The wind picks up and swings around, leaving us with a few days of cross-shore and cross-onshore chop through the weekend and into the start of the week. Monday and Tuesday, August 31st and September 1st, are a right-off.
The real standout, the one you need to save for, is Friday morning, September 4th. The wind is dead calm, the ocean is flat as a mirror, and the swell is a clean 3ft from the NW, but the period is a long 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell with a combined energy of 524. It’s going to be clean, lined up, and just beautiful.
There is another promising window a week later, on Sunday morning, September 13th. Again, glassy conditions with a light NNE breeze, and a 3ft swell from the NNW with a very long 12-second period. The combined energy is a solid 676. The wind is perfect, so it’s going to be a magic morning. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-onshore breeze, so get out there early.
The rest of the time is a bit of a washout, with small, short-period, choppy waves. Not worth paddling out for.
So, the clear winner is the 4th of September, with the 13th of September as a close second. The rest of the time, you’re waiting for a break in the weather.
