The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, straight off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions from the 4th of August all the way through to the 15th. There’s a little pulse of energy here and there, but the winds are just not on our side. It’s mostly cross, cross-on, and onshore slop, chopping up anything that’s coming through. The swell is there, but it’s a mess. You’d be fighting a losing battle.
Then, finally, we get a glimmer of hope. The standout, the only real window worth paddling out for, is the morning of the 16th of August. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.
Cabedelo (Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo) – That Sunday morning, the 16th, is looking like the real deal. We’ve got a solid 5 ft swell rolling in from the WNW, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNE at just 6 mph. That’s glassy, clean conditions. The water is sitting at a warm 69°F, which is about normal for the time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy of the swell is pumping at a solid 478 (moderate wave energy), so there’s some real grunt in the water. It’s a beach break, so with that longer-period groundswell (8 seconds), the sets will be a bit more defined. This is the session to aim for. The afternoon of the same day gets messy again with the wind switching, so get your fill in the morning. The next morning, the 17th, is still worth a look with 5 ft and nearly glassy conditions, but it’s rated as more marginal, so don’t expect the same perfection.
This is a spot that’s fairly consistent, so it’s a bit of a bummer to see such a long flat spell, but it happens. The good news is, when that window opens on the 16th, it’s a proper gem.
Stay patient, and keep your eyes on that morning of the 16th.
Rusty.
