The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it.
Honestly, pardner, the outlook for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo is a bit of a grind. There’s a long, flat spell of tiny, weak swell and mostly poor conditions. The water’s at 63°F, which is a couple of degrees cooler than normal for this time of year – you’ll feel that cold on the hands.
The first real chance to get wet comes Tuesday morning, July 14th. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the west, but the wind is absolutely glassy calm (0 mph). That means clean, smooth water. The combined energy is a weak 65, so there’s no power, but for a beginner on a longboard, it’s about as easy as it gets.
Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th are more glassy mornings with 1ft waves – not much to get excited about.
We hit a long dry patch from Friday the 17th through the rest of the week. Onshore and cross-shore winds ruin what little bumps are there.
The standout window is the morning of Monday, July 27th. The swell jumps to 7ft from the northwest, with a 15 mph cross-shore breeze keeping things fairly clean. The combined energy is a strong 627, so there’s real power. But at 7ft, this is strictly for experts at Cabedelo. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit of a wall. This is the best shot of the whole forecast, but it’s a serious session.
Tuesday morning, the 28th, still has a solid 6ft from the northwest with cross-shore wind, but it’s a little less clean.
So, for the beginners, the glassy Tuesday the 14th or Wednesday the 15th are your only options. For the big dogs, circle Monday the 27th – just be ready for a heavy one.
Rusty.
