Table - best surf conditions forecast for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the surf window for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for paddle surfing. The surf is small and the wind is mostly messy. The only real window worth getting excited about is a few days out, but even then, it's a roll of the dice.
The first actual surfable conditions show up on the morning of Tuesday, 14 July. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the West, with a short period of 6 seconds, so it's weak and bumpy. The combined energy is a weak 67. The wind is glassy though, which is the only saving grace. It'll be tiny, weak, and mostly for beginners, but at least it'll be clean for a few hours. The water temperature is 64°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a spring suit.
The morning of Saturday, 18 July sees a bit more size, with the swell hitting 5ft from the NNW and a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 229 (moderate), but the wind is a messy cross-shore from the North at 12 mph, so it's going to be choppy and bumpy. It's not great, but it's the biggest we've seen.
The real standout, if you can call it that, falls on the morning of Monday, 20 July. The swell peaks at 6ft from the NW with a period of 7 seconds, giving a moderate combined energy of 335. The wind is still cross-on from the NNW at 9 mph, so it won't be perfect, but it's the most energy we'll see. Keep in mind, 6ft is not huge, but it's the biggest in the window. The crowd at Cabedelo can be busy, so be prepared for that.
The morning of Friday, 24 July has a similar sized swell at 6ft, but the wind is stronger and cross-shore, making it lumpy. The morning of Saturday, 25 July offers a cleaner cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, but the swell drops to 5ft and the energy is still moderate. The morning of Sunday, 26 July also has 5ft swell, but with a cross-shore breeze.
Really, there's no perfect day here. Most of the window is a write-off with poor surf conditions. The best bet is the morning of 20 July, but it's a marginal call. If you're desperate, you could try that Tuesday morning 14 July for a glassy, tiny wave. Otherwise, the forecast is a bit of a dud for Cabedelo.
Rusty.
