The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it for Figueira da Foz.
Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – the next week and a half or so is a tough sell around here. The pattern is stubborn. We’ve got a lot of days with onshore or cross-onshore winds and that messy, choppy feel. You’ll see a few windows where conditions clean up, but for the most part, you’ll be battling the wind.
First up, the only real early standout is Monday the 27th morning. At Cabedelo, we’ll have a clean little window. Swell is coming from the NNW at about 5 ft with an 8-second period, and the wind goes light and offshore from the NE (cross-offshore). It’ll be clean surf. The combined energy is moderate at (374). It’s small enough for beginners, but more of a longboard or funboard wave. Be aware, crowds are possible here. The water temp is about 68°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Then, if you can hold out, Tuesday the 28th morning looks even better. That morning session is the real gem of this whole forecast. The wind goes glassy from the WNW. Swell is still at about 5 ft from the NNW at 8 seconds, with moderate energy (328). It’s going to be as clean as it gets. Perfect conditions for some well-shaped waves. Get on it early.
We then get a bit of a gap. Most afternoons and mornings are blown out. You’ll see some swell size pick up to about 6 ft on Sunday the 26th, but with 18 mph cross-shore winds from the NNW, it's a mess. Then on the 31st, the wind is up again. Not worth paddling out.
Now, if you’re patient, there’s another highlight further out. On Saturday, August 1st, in the morning, we get another glassy session. The wind is light from the NW again. The swell is smaller at a clean 3 ft from the WNW, but the period stretches to 10 seconds. That’s a nice groundswell pulse with moderate energy (398). Conditions will be glassy. It's a small wave, but a quality one for the right board. This one is promising, but being 10 days out, we keep an eye on it.
After that, the forecast gets a little mixed again. There’s some energy, but the wind wants to blow. Thursday the 6th of August morning has some size, about 7 ft from the NNW, but the period is short (8 seconds) and the wind is a moderate 16 mph cross-shore. That’s going to be a lumpy, messy beast of a wave, with strong energy (532). That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most.
So, I’d mark your calendar for the morning of the 27th, and definitely the 28th morning. The 1st of August morning is a long shot, but worth circling. We’ve got some good, clean windows in a period that’s otherwise dominated by the wind.
This is Rusty, signing off.
