The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Figueira da Foz.

We're in for a pretty bleak stretch for the next week or so, with most of the windows looking too messy or just plain poor. There's a bit of a wait before anything gets interesting, and even then, it's a mixed bag. The first real standout isn't until Friday the 28th, so be prepared for a long gap with no solid recommendations before that.

The first few days, starting Sunday the 23rd, are a write-off. We've got a 6ft west swell with 19 mph cross-off winds on Sunday morning, but the report says it's marginal at best. By the afternoon, it's turning into a cross-shore mess. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are looking even rougher with rain and strong winds making a mess of the 7ft to 4ft swell. Wednesday, Thursday... more of the same, really. The combined energy is all over the place, hitting 679 on Sunday morning but it's just not clean.

Now, hold onto your board, because Friday the 28th of August is where it gets interesting, but with a big caveat. Early morning at Cabedelo, we're looking at a solid 7ft groundswell from the WNW, with a long period of 11 seconds and a massive 978 combined energy reading. The wind is forecast to be glassy – dead calm – which would be absolute perfection for the surface. The problem is, that's a lot of water for this spot, and the report flags it as potentially too big for this break. It's an exposed beach and pier setup, and that much power will be pushing hard. If you're an expert looking for a challenge, this could be the session of the trip. The water temp is about average for the time of year.

Saturday the 29th looks better for the average surfer. The morning session offers a cleaner 5ft swell from the NW, with a light 6 mph cross-off breeze from the NNE. The combined energy is 459 – moderate and punchy – and the period is a nice 9 seconds. This will be a fun, rideable size with clean conditions. It's a good option if Friday's size is too much, just be aware crowds are possible here.

The following week, from Sunday the 30th into early September, the swell drops right off. We're looking at small waves, under 4ft, with a mix of glassy mornings and onshore afternoons. Nothing worth getting excited about. There's a bit of a pulse forecast for Monday the 7th of September with a 5ft NW swell, but the winds are cross and the report is still calling it poor.

So, to wrap it up: grit your teeth through this week. Your best bet is a very high-skill session at Cabedelo on Friday morning the 28th if you're up for a heavy one, or a much more user-friendly morning on Saturday the 29th. After that, it's small and ordinary for a while.

Rusty.
