The Lowdown

Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cookin’ for Figueira da Foz over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so let’s break it down.

We’re looking at Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo, a beach and pier setup that’s fairly consistent but exposed to whatever’s rollin’ in. The water is 68°, which is about average for this time of year. No wild anomalies there.

The week kicks off with a bit of a slow start. Monday morning has some knee to waist high swell from the WNW, about 5ft, with a period of 12 seconds. That’s a nice long period groundswell, but the wind is a cross-shore from the north at 9 mph, so it’s got a bit of a chop on it. The energy is moderate (785). It’s surfable for a beginner, but it’s not gonna get your heart racing. Monday afternoon gets worse as the wind picks up, so forget it.

Tuesday is a bit of a write-off with smaller, weaker swell and onshore winds. Wednesday morning, however, is a real teaser. The swell bumps up to 7ft from the NW with a short period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (530), but the wave comment flags it as too big for this break. It’s a big, power-full closeout machine for a beach break, more suited to a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, especially with the moderate cross-shore wind.

The rest of the week and into the weekend is pretty grim. The swell drops right off, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore with a chop. There’s a small window on Saturday morning, the 12th of September, with a clean 5ft NW swell and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE at 3 mph. The period is short, though, only 7 seconds, so the waves will be a bit weak and lumpy. It’s a small window, but it’s clean.

Now, the real standout comes on Sunday the 13th of September. The morning is looking *magic*. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the NW, but the period is a very long 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. The wind is a dead flat calm, glassy, with a NNE breeze at 3 mph. The energy is moderate (657). For a beach break, a long period like this can make the waves a bit too straight, but in these tiny, clean conditions, it’ll be a beautiful, peeling wall. This is the best on offer. The crowds will be there sometimes, but it’s worth it for the glass.

Monday the 14th is also a good, clean option for a morning session with a similar 4ft, 12-second swell and glassy conditions. The wind is dead calm from the south. It’s a smaller repeat of Sunday’s magic.

After that, the second week gets messy. The swell picks up again, but it gets too big for this break. By Wednesday the 16th, we’re looking at 8ft to 10ft of short-period, wind-affected swell. The energy gets strong (1086-1527), but it’s just a washing machine for a beach break. This is expert-only territory, and honestly, it’s probably more of a kite show. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore for most of the following days, so the surf quality is poor right through to the end of the forecast.

So, the pick of the litter is without a doubt Sunday the 13th. Get up early for that glassy, long-period groundswell. Monday the 14th is a solid backup. The rest of the time, you’re either looking at chop or waves that are just too big and ugly for the Cabedelo sandbar.

Rusty.
