Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a struggle. The swell is tiny and the wind just won’t play nice for most of it. You’ll be looking at a pretty long dry spell from now until around the 20th of July. We’ve got days of small, weak waves and cross-onshore or onshore breezes that are gonna keep things messy.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until the morning of Tuesday, the 21st of July. That’s the standout window. We’ve got a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the SSE at just 3 mph, which is a game-changer. The swell is a solid 5 ft from the NNW, pushing a moderate wave energy of 343, and it’s bringing some proper shape. That is the session to point your car towards.
Now, the spot we’re talking about is Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo. It’s a beach/pier setup that’s fairly consistent and great for beginners, but with that 5 ft swell, it’s pushing into intermediate territory. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild. The wind that morning will be an absolute treat, making for clean, peeling lines. Just keep in mind it can get crowded here sometimes, so get out there early.
After that Tuesday morning magic, the wind swings back around onshore in the afternoon, and the following days drop back into a messy, choppy pattern with smaller, short-period windswell. There’s a bit more size on the 23rd and 24th, but the wind is all wrong again – cross or cross-on, making it a real battle. Honestly, for the rest of that second week, it’s not worth getting too excited about unless you’re desperate for a paddle in rough conditions.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off for anything decent. The only true standout is that Tuesday morning, the 21st of July, at Cabedelo. That’s your window.
Rusty.
