The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Figueira da Foz.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell before anything even remotely worth paddling out for shows up. For the next week, from Tuesday the 21st right through to the end of the month, it’s grim. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and when it does go light, the swell is tiny and weak. You’ll see a bit of energy bump up around the 25th and 26th, with a combined swell energy reading of 187 to 393, but that’s all tangled up in a strong, messy cross-shore wind. That’s a kite-surfing breeze, not a surfing one, unless you’re after a beating.
The real window, the only one that gets my heart rate up, is Monday morning, the 27th of July. That’s the standout. The wind drops to absolutely nothing – glassy conditions – and we’ve got a solid 5 ft swell rolling in from the NNW. The combined energy is a strong 288, so there’s some proper push behind it. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and a little close together, but when it’s glassy like that, you can forgive a lot. This is a clean, fun morning for anyone who's comfortable on a board that size. It’s a beginner-friendly break normally, but with 5 ft, it’s starting to push into intermediate territory. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about what you’d expect for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
After that glassy window, the wind swings back onshore by the afternoon, and it’s back to the struggle. The following week into August stays pretty average. There’s a sniff of something on the 3rd of August – Monday morning – with another 5 ft swell from the NNW, but it’s got a cross-shore wind on it, and the energy is a moderate 238. It’s a marginal call, worth a look if you’re desperate, but it’s not the clean, glassy gem we had a week earlier.
So, to sum it up: the only real standout is the morning of Monday the 27th. That’s your one clear shot. Set your alarm for dawn.
Rusty.
