The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the cards for our stretch of coast over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are definitely a few sessions to get excited about.

We’re starting off with a bit of a flat patch. The first session worth paddling out for is on the morning of Monday the 14th. It’s not huge, but we’ll take what we can get. The water is sitting at a chilly 64°F, which is about 4°F colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit.

Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo gets a mention here. The first real standout is actually a big one, but it’s for experts only. On the morning of Wednesday the 16th of September, a solid NNW swell pushes through at about 10ft with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is cross-shore from the north at 19 mph, which is a bit lumpy, but the main issue is the size. The combined swell energy is a hefty 1218 (moderate wave energy), and for a spot like this, it's going to be too big for anyone but the most experienced. The crowds are sometimes an issue here, so be aware.

Now, if you’re looking for something a bit more manageable, the morning of Thursday the 17th is your window. The swell drops to about 7ft from the northwest, and the wind swings to a cross-offshore from the NNE at 12 mph. This will clean things up nicely. The combined energy is still solid at 836 (moderate wave energy). Again, this is getting towards the bigger end, so it's more for intermediate to advanced surfers.

The real gem, though, looks to be the morning of Saturday the 20th of September. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the northwest with a long period of 11 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the ESE at 6 mph. That’s clean, glassy conditions. The combined energy is a comfortable 537 (moderate wave energy). This is the best all-rounder of the forecast. The water temp is still on the cold side, but the surf will be worth it.

Looking further out, the morning of Monday the 22nd of September has another nice setup. A 5ft swell from the northwest with a very long period of 14 seconds, and the wind is light from the southeast at 3 mph, giving us a glassy surface. The combined energy is 1054 (strong wave energy). This is a good one for more experienced surfers, as that long period will push through with a lot of power.

The morning of Tuesday the 23rd of September is also looking very good. A 5ft swell from the northwest with a 13-second period, and glassy conditions with a light south wind at 3 mph. The combined energy is 699 (moderate wave energy). This is another solid option.

After that, the swell starts to fade. The morning of Wednesday the 24th of September has a smaller 3ft swell from the NNW with an 11-second period and glassy conditions from a light south wind. It’s not a standout, but it’s a fun, clean option for a quick session.

From the 25th onwards, it gets pretty quiet. The swell drops right off, with heights around 1ft to 3ft for the rest of the period. The wind is mostly light, so it’ll be clean, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. There’s a bit of a gap here, so don’t expect much action in the final week.

So, to sum it up: the morning of Saturday the 20th is your best bet for a clean, fun session. If you’re after more power and size, the morning of Monday the 22nd is the one for the experienced crew.

Rusty.
