The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the surf forecast for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo. Let’s be straight with you: the first week is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of choppy, cross-onshore winds that are just killing the vibe. The water is sitting at 71°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s where the good news ends for a while.

The energy is there, but it’s all messy. We’re looking at moderate combined swell energy (around 212 to 256) from the NNW and NW, with short, weak periods of 6 to 7 seconds. That’s just windswell junk. The wind is mainly from the north or northwest, blowing cross or cross-onshore at 12 to 16 mph. It’s choppy, and the surf quality is poor. There’s a solid 4-day gap here with nothing worth paddling out for.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday, July 27th, in the morning. The wind swings around to the east at just 3 mph, going glassy. The swell drops to 4ft from the NNW, still a short period of 7 seconds, but the combined energy is moderate at 228. The comment says "expect good surf conditions." It’s not a monster, but it’ll be clean and fun for a beginner-friendly beach break. The crowd situation is "sometimes," so you might have a few friends out, but nothing to stress about.

Then, Tuesday, July 28th, in the morning is another standout. More glassy conditions with a light SW wind at 3 mph. The swell is 4ft from the NNW, but the period stretches to 10 seconds, giving it a bit more shape and punch. The combined energy is 269. This is likely the best of the first week. Clean, glassy, and with a touch more power.

Skip the rest of that week. It’s back to choppy, onshore junk.

Now, looking way ahead to Sunday, August 9th, in the morning. This is a long-range call, so take it with a pinch of salt, but it looks promising. We’ve got glassy conditions again with a light SSW wind at 3 mph. The swell is 5ft from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds and combined energy of 330. That’s a solid, moderate groundswell. The forecast says "expect good surf conditions." For a beach break, this is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s not huge, so it’s fine for intermediates, but that glassy wind and clean energy will make for some fun, lined-up waves. The previous day, Saturday the 8th, is also glassy but much smaller, so this Sunday morning is the real highlight.

So, to sum it up: the first handful of days are a bust. Keep your eyes on the Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th mornings for small, clean waves. The real winner, if the forecast holds, is the Sunday the 9th of August morning. That’s the one to get excited about.

Rusty.
