Table - best surf conditions forecast for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for our local stretch.
Honestly, this 16-day run looks tough. From Wednesday the 8th all the way through to Tuesday the 22nd of July, there’s basically nothing worth getting excited about. The only flicker of a chance shows up on Saturday the 11th in the morning, but even that’s a weak one.
Saturday the 11th brings a tiny 2ft NW swell with a decent 11-second period. The wind goes glassy out of the WSW, so it’ll be clean. But the wave energy is weak (100), and the swell is tiny. It’s surfable, but nothing special. After that, it’s back to small, choppy, cross-onshore slop.
The biggest surf shows up around Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd, with 5ft NW swell and moderate energy (310 to 324). But it’s short-period windswell (8 seconds or less) and the wind is cranking cross-shore at 18 mph. That’s going to be a lumpy, blown-out mess. Better suited for the kite crew than a paddle surfer. Conditions are just plain poor.
So, no real standout sessions here. Water temps are around 64°F at the start, a bit colder than normal for July. Save your energy and wait for a better pattern.
Rusty.
