The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Figueira da Foz.
Right off the bat, the next week and a half is a bit of a struggle. We’ve got waves, sure, but the wind is just not playing ball for most of it. The water is sitting at 67°, which is right about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday, 23 August morning. The Cabedelo sandbank is seeing a 6ft swell from the west, with a period of 11 seconds. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze from the SSE at 12 mph, which will keep things clean. The combined energy is a solid 680 (moderate), so there’s some push. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and with it being fairly consistent, you’ll find a few. It’s not a standout, but it’s the first decent window.
Now, the one to circle on the calendar is Friday, 28 August morning. This is the standout. We’re looking at a 8ft groundswell from the NW, with a very long period of 12 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 2020 (strong), so it’s packing serious power. The wind is a light northerly cross-shore at 9 mph, keeping things clean. However, this is a big one – over 8ft means experts only. The beach break setup might see it a bit too straight for the long period, but the power is undeniable. The forecast is a week out, so it’s promising but not locked in. If you’re an experienced surfer, keep an eye on this one.
For the rest of the run, the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, chopping things up. The swell hangs around, but the quality is low. There’s a moment on Wednesday, 26 August morning, with a glassy 4ft swell, but it’s weak and ordinary. Other than the 28th, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty out.
