The Lowdown

Right then, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Figueira da Foz area over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch. The forecast is mostly a washout for decent surf. There’s a long gap of poor-quality waves right through the first week and into the second. We’re looking at mostly small, weak swell with a lot of cross-onshore wind messing things up. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking three digits, and the periods are short, so there’s no real grunt behind anything.

The standout moment, and really the only window worth talking about, is the morning of Tuesday, 11th August. The swell picks up to 5ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps right up to 445 (moderate wave energy). That’s the most power we see in the whole outlook. The wind is a cross-shore from the N at 9 mph, which is a gentle breeze, described as ‘gentle cross-shore with slight cross-chop’. That’s workable, and it’ll keep things clean enough. Cabedelo (Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo) is an exposed beach/pier break, so it’ll catch this swell. The break is fairly consistent and suited to beginners, but with 5ft surf, it’s getting a bit punchy for total novices, though still fine for most. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you might have to share.

Before that, there’s a brief moment of glassy conditions on the morning of Sunday, 2nd August. The wind is glassy, which is a beauty, but the swell is tiny at 3ft from the NNW and the period is only 7 seconds—short period windswell. The energy is 104, so it’s weak. You’d be on a foamie or a log just to get a few grovelly rides. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

The rest of the fortnight is a write-off. Days and days of poor surf conditions with onshore or cross-onshore winds and small, weak swell. The afternoons are particularly windy, with speeds up to 19 mph, making it lumpy and chop. That’s more kite-surfing territory than paddle surfing.

So, the message is clear: wait for the morning of Tuesday, 11th August. That’s your best bet. It’s still a little way out, so keep an eye on the charts, but it’s the only one that has any real promise.

Rusty.
