The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here, looking at the surf prospects for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo. Honestly, it's a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, with a lot of average, wind-affected days to wade through before we get a few proper windows.

The water temp is sitting right where it should be for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The week starts off pretty ordinary. Tuesday morning, the 8th of September, has a clean 4ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period, giving us moderate wave energy (302), but the cross-shore wind from the north is already putting a slight chop on it. It's marginal at best. Afternoon turns into a write-off with onshore wind and poor conditions.

Wednesday and Thursday are no good – the wind is too strong and cross-shore, making the surf messy and choppy, even though there's some swell in the water. Friday is the same story.

Now, Saturday the 12th of September morning is where things start to look up. We've got a clean 5ft from the NNW, with a light offshore easterly breeze at 10 km/h. That's a solid, clean start to the weekend. The combined energy sits at a moderate 278, so it's not huge, but it'll be fun for a beginner-friendly wave. Not a standout, but a good paddling session.

The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Sunday the 13th of September morning. This is the pick of the forecast. We've got a 4ft groundswell from the NW, but the period is a juicy 13 seconds, pumping in a solid 687 of combined energy. That's a long-period swell with proper shape and power. With a light offshore easterly wind at 10 km/h, the conditions will be clean as a whistle. This is a classic Cabedelo morning – small but perfectly formed.

After that, the following week gets messy again. Monday the 14th has some cross-shore wind, and Tuesday the 15th is a flat day with only 85 energy. Wednesday the 16th is marginal.

The next notable window is Thursday the 17th of September morning. There's a clean 7ft swell from the NW with an offshore easterly wind, and the energy is a strong 895. However, the guidance tells me that at this size, it's predicted to be too big for this break, so it's one for the experts only, if you can handle a washing machine.

Friday the 18th of September morning is a better all-rounder. A clean 6ft from the NW with a light cross-offshore breeze means good shape. The energy is moderate at 538. It's not the best of the best, but it's a solid, clean option.

The following Saturday and Sunday mornings (19th and 20th of September) offer small, clean waves with offshore breezes, but nothing to get too excited about. The 20th does have a 12-second period, so it'll be clean and fun for the longboard.

The very end of the run, around the 21st and 22nd of September, kicks up some serious energy – 1175 and 1408 – but the wind is a howling cross-shore, making it a mess. That's a kitesurfer's dream, not a paddle surfer's.

So, in short: the best on offer is Sunday the 13th of September morning for clean, classic waves. A close second is Saturday the 12th of September morning for a fun, clean session. The rest is a waiting game.
