The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at what’s happening at Figueira da Foz.
First, we’re talking about Cabedelo. It’s a beach and pier setup, open to the west. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The next week and a half is a bit of a struggle. Plenty of swell, but the wind is a real pain. Most days are blown out with onshore or cross-onshore winds, creating poor surf. Wednesday and Thursday mornings (August 26th and 27th) are a no-go with that wind and lumpy conditions. Friday morning (August 28th) is a tease – a 6ft WNW swell with an 11-second period, but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s messy. The combined energy is moderate (853).
Things turn around on Sunday August 30th. That morning, the wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a 5ft NW swell with a 10-second period. The conditions are clean, and the combined energy is moderate (588). That’s a real window for a longboard or a funboard. It won’t be huge, but it’ll be clean and fun.
We then hit a few more days of average cross-shore wind and choppy conditions. The surf picks up a bit on Tuesday September 1st, with a 6ft NW swell, but the wind is still cross-shore, so it’s not a standout.
The real standout, the one to mark on the calendar, is Tuesday September 8th. That morning, we’ve got glassy conditions again, a 6ft NNW swell, and the combined energy is strong (561). The wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean. The swell is solid, at 6ft, so it’s getting towards the top end for beginners. It’s a good one for intermediate surfers looking for a proper session. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, but with that clean glass, it’ll be fun.
The next morning, Wednesday September 9th, also looks promising with a 5ft NW swell and glassy conditions.
After that, the swell drops right off, with a tiny 2ft swell on Thursday September 10th, but it’s a very long period of 15 seconds, which is a groundswell. That kind of long period can make beach breaks a bit too straight, but it’s also a sign of energy. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s not the best, but it’s a different kind of swell.
So, to sum it up: the best windows are Sunday August 30th and Tuesday September 8th for clean, glassy conditions. The rest of the time, you’re fighting the wind.
