The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s cooking at Figueira da Foz – Cabedelo over the next couple of weeks. To be honest, the first part of this run is a tough one. There’s swell around, but the wind is all wrong. Day after day it’s crossed-up or choppy. It’s frustrating.
The first real chance to get a decent wave is the morning of Thursday, September 3rd. The wind goes glass, dead calm. Swell is a small 4ft from the NW, with a short period of 7 seconds, so it’s not powerful. The combined wave energy is on the light side (155), but the surface is clean. It’s a marginal window, but at least you can paddle.
Now for the standout. The morning of Saturday, September 5th is the gem. A proper groundswell at 3ft from the NW, but with a very long period of 14 seconds. That’s serious energy running underneath it (combined energy 606). The wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. For a beach/pier break, that long period might make the waves a little straight, but with that offshore wind and the glassy surface, it’s going to be your best session. Conditions are very good. The water temp is running about average for the season.
After that, it’s back to a bleak stretch. The wind turns nasty again – cross-shore, onshore, just messy. The swell picks up around Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th, with 6ft to 7ft waves from the NNW, but they’re short-period chop (6-8 seconds). Honestly, with these winds and that kind of lumpy power, it looks more interesting for kite surfers than paddle boards.
The second real hope shows up on the morning of Saturday, September 12th. Glassy conditions return with a 6ft NNW swell and a 7-second period. It’ll be clean and rideable. But the big news is the morning of Monday, September 14th. It’s glass again, with a 4ft NNW swell and a period of 12 seconds – that’s a quality groundswell with combined energy of 661. That’s a long way out, so don’t bet the farm on it, but if it materializes, that Monday morning will be the cleanest, most powerful surf of the whole run.
So, the first week is mostly a wash, but the 5th of September morning is your sure thing. The 14th of September is the long-range prize if the forecast holds.
