The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s happening for the next couple of weeks at Figueira da Foz.

To be honest, it’s a bit of a slow start. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf ahead, with the first real glimmer of hope not showing up until mid-month. For the first ten days or so, the wind is a problem, mostly coming from the north and northwest, and it’s swinging cross or cross-onshore, kicking up chop and making things messy. The swell is small and weak, with combined energy values mostly sitting between 44 and 252 (weak to moderate), and the period is short, around 6 to 10 seconds, which means weak, lumpy waves. Not worth paddling out for.

The pattern finally breaks on the morning of Tuesday, August 18th. The wind shifts to a light cross-offshore breeze from the north-northeast (6 mph), and the conditions clean right up. The swell at Cabedelo (Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo) will be 7 ft from the northwest, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 635 (strong). That’s a solid wave, but honestly, 7 ft is pushing it for a beginner, and the break is a beach/pier setup, so with that size and a short period, it might be a bit of a handful. The wind and tide align, but this is more for the experienced crew.

Later in the week, Thursday morning, August 20th, offers a brief window of clean conditions. The wind goes glassy (3 mph from the west-northwest), and the swell drops to 4 ft from the northwest. The combined energy is 183 (moderate). It’s not a standout, but it’s surfable and clean, which is a rare treat in this stretch.

Given the extended run of poor to marginal conditions, there’s really only one standout here: Tuesday morning, August 18th. It’s the biggest, cleanest, and most powerful window in the whole 16-day span. The rest of the forecast is mostly forgettable, with the 20th offering a glassy but small alternative.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts for the second week.

Rusty.
