Table - best surf conditions forecast for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo over the next 16 days.
Alright, grab your board and let's have a look at what's comin' up for Cabedelo over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, it's a bit of a slow start, but there's a little light at the end of the tunnel.
Right now, we're looking at a lot of small, weak swell. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is a touch on the cooler side of normal for this time of year, but nothing that'll have you shivering.
The first real hope in this forecast doesn't show up until Saturday morning, July 11th. It's early, but for a minute there, the wind goes glassy. The swell is tiny, only 2ft from the NW with a period of 11 seconds, giving us a combined energy of (101). It's rideable, but it's pretty ordinary. Saturday afternoon the wind swings onshore and ruins it.
Honestly, the next week is a write-off. We get a long stretch of weak, messy conditions, often with cross-on or onshore winds. The swell stays below 3ft for days on end. It’s not until the morning of Sunday, July 19th, that we see a bit of a shift, but the waves are still small and messy.
The best action on offer looks like it's shaping up for Wednesday, July 22nd. The morning shows a clean, cross-off wind with a 6ft swell from the NNW. That's gonna be a bit much for a beginner, but for anyone with a bit of experience, it'll be running. The combined energy jumps up to (245), so there's some push there. However, the period is short at 7 seconds, so don't expect too much shape.
But the real standout – the one you want to mark on your calendar – is the morning of Thursday, July 23rd. The wind is clean and cross-off from the NE. The swell is 7ft from the NNW with a combined energy of (557). The period is still a short 8 seconds, but that's a solid, powerful wave for the experienced crew. For the experts out there, this is the best window we've got. It's going to be pumping, but it’s definitely too big for the groms and learners. After that, it drops off a little on Friday the 24th, but the morning session that day with a 6ft swell and clean NE winds will still offer up some solid, clean waves (460 combined energy), as long as you're comfortable with a bigger beach break. Crowds are only sometimes an issue here, so it’s worth the paddle out.
So, it's a long wait, but that Thursday morning, July 23rd, is the one to aim for. Get some sleep and be in the water early.
