The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's happening at Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo.
The next couple of weeks are gonna be a real mixed bag. Most of the swell is coming from the northwest, and the first few days look pretty ugly for a proper surf. There's a bit of a lull before we see any truly clean conditions, but there's a couple of windows.
The water's sitting at 67°, which is totally normal for this time of year, so a spring suit will do just fine.
On Friday, August 28th, we've got a solid 7ft swell from the WNW with moderate energy (1027). Sounds good, right? Wrong. It's just too much power for this beach, and with a cross-shore wind, it's going to be a chaotic, blown-out mess. The period is a weak 11 seconds, so it's not a clean groundswell.
Saturday, August 29th is the standout. The morning is the only time to be in the water. The swell drops to a fun 5ft from the NW (moderate energy at 336), but the real gold is the cross-offshore breeze from the NNE that's going to put a glassy, clean face on those waves. This is the session to circle on the calendar.
It all goes downhill after that. From Saturday afternoon through the first week of September, the onshore wind kills it. Even though the swell hangs around 4ft to 6ft from the NW with moderate energy, it's just chop and lump. A long stretch of nothing to get excited about.
Monday, September 7th offers a tiny glimmer. The swell is only 3ft from the NW, but that light cross-offshore wind from the NNE cleans it up nicely (moderate energy at 267). It's a small, clean wave that'll scratch the itch.
Keep an eye on Thursday, September 10th, morning. Glassy conditions, but with a 7ft swell from the NNW (moderate energy at 449). The warning is the same: this spot can't handle that much water, so it's for big-wave chargers only. The period is a snappy 7 seconds, so it’s pure lumps. The window is tiny before the onshore wind ruins it.
The rest of the run into mid-September is grim. Small, poor waves and bad wind.
The absolute best call is Saturday, August 29th, first light. Get on it. The morning of September 7th is your backup for a clean wave, and September 10th morning is a gamble for the brave.
Stay wet,
Rusty
