The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on the next stretch.
First off, you’ll be waiting a bit. The surf is junk through Tuesday and Wednesday with onshore winds messing everything up. Don’t bother heading out until Thursday the 13th.
Thursday the 13th morning is the first real highlight. At Cabedelo (Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo), the wind goes dead glassy. There’s a clean 3ft swell out of the WNW with a 10-second period. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. The wave energy is moderate (259), and it will be clean and fun for everyone. After lunch, the wind picks up from the NW and it gets messy again.
Next up, Sunday the 16th morning. Glassy again, with a bit more size – 6ft out of the NNW. The energy is up (361) and those clean walls will be there for a good session. It’s bigger, but still fine for most surfers on this beach break. The wind ruins the afternoon.
Now for the real standout: Tuesday the 18th morning. Monday is a total washout with strong winds, but Tuesday brings offshore wind from the east (5 km/h) and a solid 7ft swell out of the NNW. The combined energy is strong (584) and conditions will be clean and lined up. This is the best of the whole outlook. It’s getting into the bigger range, so keep it for the experienced crew.
Wednesday the 19th has a couple of good windows, especially the afternoon with a clean 5ft NNW swell and light offshore winds. Thursday the 20th morning is another glassy gem – 6ft NNW, zero wind, and solid energy (384). That’s a dawn patrol classic.
Heads up: Friday the 21st morning the swell hits 8ft – that’s expert-only territory and too big for Cabedelo. The wind is light cross-on, so it’ll be heavy and dangerous. Skip that one.
The last solid morning comes Monday the 24th. Glassy conditions return with a 5ft WNW swell, 8-second period, and good energy (400). A clean little session to wrap things up. Tuesday the 25th morning is also worth a look – glassy again with a 6ft NW swell.
Honestly, the standout days are Tuesday the 18th morning for the bigger, clean groundswell, and Thursday the 13th morning for the smaller, glassy perfection for the beginner and intermediate crew. Both are solid calls.
Rusty, signing off.
