The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest, the outlook is pretty bleak for quite a while. The first nine or ten days are a total bust. The swell's tiny, the wind's all wrong, and every entry just says "poor surf conditions."
Water temp is about 68°F, which is normal for this time of year, so no surprises there, but you'll want a spring suit.
We're looking at mostly light onshores and side breezes, but the swell just has no energy. The combined swell energy readings are mostly below 100, meaning the ocean is flat and weak. It's all small, unshaped bumps.
From the 18th to the 28th of July, don't even bother waxing up. You'd be better off swimming. On the 21st morning it goes glassy, but with only a 2ft wave, it's barely a ripple. Energy is pitiful at 59.
Alright, so the only real action shows up in the last few days of July and into August. On Wednesday the 29th of July morning, we see a pulse of swell. It's reading close to 7ft from the NW with a 9-second period, and the combined energy shoots up to 727 – that's moderate-strong power. The wind is cross-offshore from the NNE, so it would be clean. The notes say the wind and tide are favorable. Sounds great, right? Well, here's the thing: 7ft is way too big for this break. This is a beginner-friendly beach break. At that size, it's going to be a heavy, churning mess. You'd need to be a solid expert to even think about it, and with only a 9-second period it won't have the punch of a real groundswell.
The same goes for Thursday the 30th morning and Friday the 31st morning – both showing 7ft waves with cross-off winds and strong energy readings around 691. Again, the size is the problem. It's just too much for this spot.
If you're a kite surfer, you might be stoked on the 29th and 30th with those strong winds and a solid 6-7ft wave. For a surfer, there's no golden window. The only clean conditions come on the 29th morning, but the swell is too big. It's a real letdown.
So, the takeaway: a long, flat spell, and when the swell finally shows up, it's too heavy for this beach. Not your typical good run.
