The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the Figueira da Foz region over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at the whole run and it’s a bit of a heartbreaker. We’re staring down a long, dry stretch with barely a wave worth getting wet for. The first week is basically a write-off. From Thursday the 6th right through to Saturday the 9th, the surf is just junk. Winds are messy, mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the swell is small and weak. On Sunday the 9th, there’s a brief moment of glassy conditions in the morning, but the swell is tiny at 2ft from the NW. The combined energy is weak (86), so it’s barely surfable. Not even worth paddling out for.
We then go into another long gap. From Sunday afternoon through to Wednesday the 13th, it’s more of the same – poor surf, choppy conditions, and not a single recommendation. The wait continues. Thursday the 13th finally shows a bit of pulse, but the forecaster is calling it marginal. The swell is 3ft from the west, with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 231. The wind is light and cross-shore in the morning, which could clean it up a little, but the conditions are questionable. It’s not a standout, just a “maybe” for a desperate surfer.
The only real standout in this whole run, and I’m saying this with caution, is Monday the 17th of August. The morning session at Cabedelo (Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo) shows a 4ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 336 – that’s the highest we’ll see. The wind is cross-shore at 15 mph, which isn’t perfect, but it’s the best swell height we get. The water temp is about 68°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. It’s still not a classic, clean day, but it’s the only window where the ocean has some push. The afternoon turns choppy, so hit it early.
After that, we’re back to weak, poor conditions for the rest of the run. Nothing else comes close to being worth a mention. It’s a tough forecast, but that’s the reality of it. Stay patient.
Rusty.
