The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about the surf ahead. We’re looking at a long stretch where the ocean just isn’t playing ball for most of the next couple of weeks. There’s a real gap with nothing to get excited about, so if you’ve got a board that needs dusting, you might be waiting a while. The only real window of opportunity is right at the end of the forecast, and even then, it’s for the experienced crew only.

The first week is a write-off, plain and simple. From Wednesday the 5th through to at least Wednesday the 12th, it’s all small, weak, and messy. The swell energy is low, barely hitting triple digits in the bracket – we're talking 30 to 233 – and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, chopping up anything that tries to form. Water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there, but that’s the only thing that’s normal. You’d be wasting your time paddling out at Cabedelo (Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo) for any of those first few mornings. It’s just poor surf conditions, day after day.

We do see a slight bump in energy around the 14th and 15th – the energy jumps up to 673 and 758 – but the swell is not clean. It’s coming from the NNW with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. Throw in moderate cross-onshore winds, and it’s just a mess. The morning of the 15th does have a bit of shape with a 8ft swell, but that’s too big for this spot and it’s still too messy. Not what you want.

The morning of Monday the 17th is the one glimmer of hope. It’s glassy, almost no wind, and there’s a 6ft swell from the NNW. That’s your standout, but it comes with a catch. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s not going to have a ton of push. Still, with clean conditions, it’s the only time you’ll see anything resembling a proper wave. We’re looking at a moderate energy reading of 354, which is the best we’ve seen for a while. That’s the call to be out there if you can.

After that, it’s back to the grind. The 18th has a bigger swell (7ft) but it’s too big for the break and the winds turn onshore again. By the 20th, there’s a clean window early with cross-offshore winds from the NE and a good 7ft swell, but the period is still short. Again, that’s big for this place, and with it being a beach/pier setup, that size and short period is going to closing out. It’s pointing towards expert-only territory.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a total blank. The middle has a couple of onshore days with size but no shape. The standout is a single morning surf on the 17th, which should be clean and fun. But remember, it’s a far cry from epic. Anything further out, like the 20th, is promising on paper but far from certain. Keep the expectations low and you won’t be disappointed.

Rusty out.
