The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the Figueira da Foz area. We’re looking at a bit of a slow start, but there’s some real promise if you’re patient.
The first week is a bit of a write-off, to be honest. We’ve got a gap of several days with no real recommendations. The swell is there, but the wind is a nightmare. Friday the 21st is a total washout with a strong NNW wind making a mess of things. Saturday the 22nd shows a glimmer of hope with a super clean, glassy morning, but the swell is a small 4ft from the NNW and the energy is moderate (343). It’s a beginner-friendly wave, but nothing to get the heart racing.
Things start to look a bit more interesting on Sunday the 23rd. There’s a 5ft swell from the W with a nice 11-second period, giving it some real grunt. The wind is a clean cross-off in the morning, and the energy is solid (623). It’s a marginal call, but that’s the best you’re going to get for a few days.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Friday the 28th of August. Cabedelo (Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo) is the place to be. The morning is absolutely glassy with a 6ft NW swell, a 10-second period, and strong wave energy (667). The wind is dead calm, virtually offshore from the E. This is the cleanest, most powerful looking window in the whole forecast. The swell direction is a solid match for the break, and for a beginner-friendly spot, this is about as good as it gets. The water is sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year.
After that, the following week is a bit of a mixed bag. Saturday the 29th has a clean morning with a 5ft NNW swell, but it’s not as powerful. From Sunday the 30th onward, it’s a lot of marginal conditions and messy onshore winds. The 3rd of September sees a long-period 6ft NW swell (11 seconds) with strong energy (950), but the wind is cross-on, so it won’t be the cleanest. It’s promising but less certain that far out.
Rusty signing off.
