The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window looks pretty grim. There’s a long stretch of poor conditions ahead. We’re looking at a bit of a dry spell, with no real standouts to get excited about. The first few days are a write-off, with Sunday the 26th showing messy winds and short-period, weak swell. The water is sitting at 71°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're sitting there waiting for a wave.
Monday morning the 27th is the only real glimmer of hope. The wind drops to glassy, absolutely dead calm, and the swell is a clean 4 ft from the NNW. The combined wave energy is moderate (206). It’s a beginner-friendly break, so if you’re just starting out or want a longboard session without a fight, this is your window. It’s not big, but it'll be clean. The afternoon turns choppy, so get out early.
After that, it’s a long slog. Tuesday the 28th morning has a bit of swell, 4 ft from the NNW with a better period of 10 seconds and moderate energy (274), but the wind is onshore. It’s a marginal call. The rest of the week and into the next is a mess of cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, with most days seeing poor surf conditions. The swell drops right off, with heights under 3 ft for days at a time.
We do see a pulse of energy come through on Saturday the 1st of August, with 5 ft from the NNW, but the wind is all wrong, making it choppy and messy. The same story repeats on Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th of August, where we get a bit of height (5 ft and 5 ft) and some solid energy readings (374 and 476), but the wind is either cross or cross-onshore, and the period is short for that bigger swell. For a beach break like Cabedelo, that combo is just slop. It’s honestly more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle surfers.
The only real standout, and it’s a small one, is Monday morning the 27th. If you can get out there for that glassy session, you’ll have a fun little wave to yourself. The rest of the forecast is a lot of waiting for a change that doesn’t come.
Rusty out.
