The Lowdown

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s brewing at Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag ahead, with some real challenges but a couple of moments that could make it all worthwhile.

The water is sitting at a comfortable 70°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a nice little bonus.

The first few days are a write-off, I’m sorry to say. Thursday afternoon through the weekend is all onshore, messy, and weak. The swell is tiny and the wind is just ruining everything. We’re looking at combined swell energy of just 45 (weak) on Thursday, climbing to 263 (moderate) by Sunday, but it’s still a choppy, cross-shore mess. Not worth paddling out.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday, 27 July. The morning session is our standout. The wind drops right off to glassy, and while the swell is a modest 4 ft from the NNW with a short period of 7 seconds, the clean conditions will make it fun for a beginner. The combined energy is a solid 210 (moderate), so there’s enough push. It’s not a big day, but it’ll be a clean one for a longboard or a foamie.

After that, we’re back into a frustrating pattern. Tuesday through to the end of the month is plagued by cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. Swell heights bob around 3 ft to 4 ft, but the wind just won’t play ball. The odd session might have decent energy, like the 257 (moderate) on Tuesday morning, but it’s marked as marginal, so don’t bank on it.

Then things get interesting, but tricky. Saturday, 01 August morning has a sweet spot. The wind is a light cross-offshore, and the swell is 4 ft from the WNW. The combined energy is 242 (moderate). It’s clean, and that’s a great window for a relaxed session.

But the real big talk is Sunday, 02 August. The morning is a monster. We’re looking at an 8 ft swell from the NNW with a combined energy of 891 (strong to very strong). The wind is light and cross-shore, so it might look clean from the beach. But listen up – 8 ft is expert territory. This is a beach/pier setup, so unless you’ve got the skills and the board for it, stay on the sand. The forecast says it’s too big for this break, so only the real chargers should even think about it. The afternoon gets messy again with the wind swinging onshore.

The following week, Monday 03 August through Thursday 06 August, stays big but blown out. Swells between 5 ft and 7 ft, but the wind is a constant cross or cross-on, making it lumpy and difficult. The energy is high, hitting 903 (very strong) on Monday afternoon, but it’s just not clean. It’s a setup that looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

By the end of the run, Friday 07 August, it’s fading back to tiny, weak swell with more onshore wind. Not much to get excited about.

So, the standout is clear: Monday, 27 July morning for the glassy clean conditions, and Saturday, 01 August morning for the clean, cross-offshore fun. The big swell on Sunday 02 August is for experts only, and even then, it’s a gamble.

Stay stoked, Rusty.
