The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Figueira da Foz.
First off, I’ll be honest with you, the first week or so is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, onshore slop that’s barely worth a paddle. The waves are there, but they’re mostly junky, with wind ruining any chance of a decent face. You’ll be staring at a lot of close-outs and whitewater. This is a tough run for the area.
The first real glimmer of hope comes right at the end of the month. Thursday the 30th of July is the standout. Early morning at Cabedelo, we’ve got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The real kicker is the wind – it’s glassy. Absolutely dead calm. For a beach break, that’s as good as it gets. The combined energy is solid at (333), meaning there’s some proper push behind it. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Get there early, because with clean conditions like that, it’ll be worth the wait.
The following Friday morning, the 31st, also has some potential. The swell builds a touch to 6ft from the NNW, and while the wind is a light cross-on from the NW, it’s still manageable. The combined energy jumps to (386), which is a lot of power. It’s a bit more of a gamble with the wind, but if it holds, it could be a fun, punchy morning.
After that, we roll into August with a few more days of messy, cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions. The swell is there, with some decent energy readings (260-362), but the wind just won’t cooperate. It’s mostly a cross-shore mess, not the clean, lined-up waves we’re after.
So, to sum it up: the first week and a half is a write-off. Wait for the 30th of July. That Thursday morning with the glassy conditions and a solid 5ft NW swell is the only real standout. It’s a clean, classic beach break moment. Get on it.
Rusty.
