The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the first week is a bit of a write-off for proper surfing. There’s a six-day gap from now until the first real chance to paddle out. The water’s sitting at 70°F right now, which is a touch warmer than you’d expect for the time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you wait.

We finally get a small window on Monday morning, 27 July. It’s not going to be the session of the summer, but the wind goes totally glassy. We’re looking at a small 4ft swell from the NNW with a short period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate (206). For a long, exposed beach/pier like Cabedelo, that weak, short-period swell won't have much push, but if you’re desperate for a slide and just want to get wet with clean conditions, you could scratch an itch.

The next real blip comes on Sunday morning, 2 August. The swell drops to 2ft, but here’s the kicker – that period jumps to 11 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (238) and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSE, leaving the surface clean. This is a sneaky one. That long period will wrap in better at Cabedelo than the short-period junk, giving you a few decent runners even with the small height. It's a long-range call, so not locked in, but it looks promising.

Now, if you want the standout, the one to circle on your calendar is Monday morning, 3 August. This is the best of the 16 days by a mile. The swell picks up to 6ft from the NW with an 8-second period, but the energy jumps to a strong 509 – that’s proper grunt for this spot. And the wind? Glassy again, with a light breeze from the WNW. This is clean, solid surf for Cabedelo. That size is great for intermediates; it’s not too big, not too small. The swell direction (NW) is bang on for what this break likes. This is your session. Expect a few other keen locals out there – crowds are sometimes an issue here, so the early bird gets the wave.

The rest of that first week of August keeps some size, but the wind gets messy. Tuesday morning, 4 August has a big 7ft NW swell and even stronger energy (602). The wind is a light cross-shore from the N, but it’s flagged as too big for this break. 7ft on a beach/pier setup with short period is a washing machine – only for experts, and honestly, it will be a bit of a chore.

After that, the wind swings onshore or strong cross-shore for the rest of the outlook, so the windows close up. The only other clean call is Sunday morning, 2 August, which I already mentioned as the second-best bet.

So, bottom line: hold tight through this first week. Monday 3 August morning is your golden hour. Set the alarm.
