The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer at Figueira da Foz – Cabedelo.
Straight up, this forecast is a bit of a mixed bag with a long wait. The first week is pretty much a write-off, with a bunch of days where the conditions just aren't working for us. The water's a bit colder than usual for this time of year, sitting at 66°.
We've got some sizeable but messy swell coming in Monday, the 24th of August, with 8ft of cross-shore chop and some 25 mph winds. The energy is moderate, but it's just not surfable. That pattern of onshore and cross-shore wind with poor surf quality sticks around all the way through Thursday, the 27th.
Now, Friday the 28th of August is where it gets interesting, but you need to be careful. The morning brings a clean 10ft WNW groundswell with a nice long 11-second period and light offshore winds. The combined energy is strong. The conditions are clean. However, that's big for this break – definitely expert territory and likely too much for the average punter. The afternoon cleans up slightly to 8ft, but the wind swings cross-shore.
Everything then drops off into small, average conditions for days. The morning of Friday, the 4th of September, offers a brief moment of hope with a clean 5ft swell from the NNW and light offshore winds. It's a small window of clean surf.
The real standout, and this is one for the diaries, is shaping up for Monday the 7th of September and Tuesday the 8th of September. On Monday morning, we're looking at a glassy 3ft swell from the WNW with a very long 10-second period and zero wind. Clean as a whistle, but small.
The absolute highlight, though, is Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. We've got a 6ft W groundswell with a ridiculously long 15-second period – that's proper groundswell. It's glassy, with light offshore winds. The combined energy is strong. The guidance says this is excellent for experienced surfers. For a beach break, that long period might make it a bit straight, but with glassy conditions, it's going to be the best option by far. Keep an eye on this one, but remember, it's over two weeks away, so things can change.
So, if you've got patience, hold out for that Tuesday. Friday the 28th is big and raw, but the 8th of September is the day to circle.
Rusty.
