The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s happening at Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo. It starts slow, but there are a few gems if you know when to paddle out.
The water is 64°F, which is a solid 4°F colder than usual for this time of year. That’s a noticeable chill, so don’t be a hero with a thin suit.
The first real surf shows up on the morning of Sunday the 13th. We’ve got clean 3ft waves from the NW with a long 13-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the ESE keeping things tidy. The combined energy is moderate (381). It’s a good start for the beginners.
The first standout is Monday morning the 14th. The wind dies completely – glass – and you’ve got a clean 3ft NW swell rolling in. The energy is moderate (276). It’s going to be a gorgeous, quiet morning for logging some miles.
Things go flat on Tuesday the 15th with weak energy (97), and then it gets serious. From Wednesday the 16th through to Saturday the 21st of September, the swell goes big – 8ft to 8ft from the NNW – with energy readings hitting 1012 and even 1733. That’s way too much for this spot. It’s experts only, and the strong crosswinds will make it ugly.
The real standout is Sunday morning the 20th of September. You get a solid 5ft groundswell from the NW with an 11-second period, but the light offshore from the SE is the key. The energy is strong at 653, and it’s forecast to be "very good." That’s the one to circle on your calendar.
Another beauty is Tuesday morning the 22nd of September. Glassy conditions again, with a clean 5ft NW swell and a 12-second period. Combined energy is strong at 634. It’s another session you won’t want to miss.
After that, it all fades out. From the 23rd onward, it’s small, weak, and mostly poor conditions.
So, keep your eyes on the mornings of the 14th, 20th, and 22nd. That’s where the clean, fun waves are. The big stuff in the middle of the month is a beast best left alone.
