The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Figueira da Foz has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a pretty slow start for Cabedelo. We’ve got a solid stretch of nothing much to write home about from now all the way through the rest of this week. The energy is weak, barely a ripple at times, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, messing up any chance of a clean wave. You’ll see some small swells bumping around, but the conditions are just not there. Honestly, it's a bit of a write-off until next weekend.
Now, we finally get a glimmer of hope on Sunday the 16th in the morning. The swell bumps up to a clean 5ft from the NNW, and the wind flips to a light cross-offshore from the SSE. That combination is gonna give us some proper, clean surf. The energy is moderate (348), so there’s some push behind it. This is a beach / pier set-up, so with the swell direction being straight on, it’ll be breaking nice and wedgy. Keep your eyes on that morning session.
That said, the real standout, and I mean the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Tuesday the 25th. That morning is looking like the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a 7ft swell from the NW with a 10-second period, which is a nice, solid groundswell. The combined energy is a very strong 773, so there’s some serious power in the water. And the best part? Glassy conditions. Absolutely dead calm, zero wind. This is the one for the experienced crew, as 7ft can get a bit hefty for the beginners at a beach break. It’s going to be a proper session if you’re up for it.
So, to sum it up: the next week is mostly a no-go. You've got that one decent Sunday morning on the 16th, but the real prize is that Tuesday the 25th. Mark it down.
Rusty.
