The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week and a half looks pretty grim. There’s a big gap of nothing happening. From now until about the 15th of September, it’s mostly small, weak, and messy. You’ll see a few mornings with glassy conditions, like on the 3rd and the 5th of September, but the swell is tiny at 3ft and 3ft from the NNW and WNW, with energy levels that are barely there (114 and 139). The period is short too, around 7-9 seconds, so there’s no punch. It’s surfable if you’re desperate for a paddle, but there’s nothing to write home about. The wind swings around a lot, mostly cross or cross-on, which just chops it up. By the 7th, the swell picks up a bit to 5ft from the WNW, but the wind is howling at 12-15 mph, making it a choppy mess. That pattern holds through the 14th – some size, but poor quality.
Now, hold onto your leash, because things change on the 16th of September. That Wednesday morning is the standout. We’ve got a clean 6ft WNW groundswell with a juicy 14-second period, and the energy is pumping hard at 1263. The wind is glassy from the WSW. That’s a proper session for experienced surfers – the water temp is sitting around 68°, which is about normal for this time of year. That groundswell will be lining up nicely, though with that long period, it might be a bit straight at the beach, so keep an eye on the banks. This is the best on offer, no question.
The following morning, the 17th of September, is also a good shout. The swell drops to 4ft from the NW, but it’s still got a solid 12-second period, and the energy is moderate at 326. The wind is glassy again, from the NE. It’s not as powerful as the 16th, but it’ll be clean and fun for everyone. After that, it fades back into small, weak leftovers.
So, to boil it down: The first week is a write-off, save your energy. The real action is the 16th of September morning – that’s your window for some proper waves. The 17th morning is a solid backup for a cleaner, smaller session.
Stay stoked, and keep an eye on the forecasts.
Rusty.
