The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Figueira da Foz – Cabedelo.
Right now, we’re looking at a pretty patchy stretch ahead. The first chunk of the forecast is quiet, with nothing really offering a good wave until the second week. We’ve got a solid gap of flat to poor conditions, so don’t bother paddling out this week.
The first few days are mostly small, messy, or onshore: Wednesday afternoon has a weak 3 ft combo from the NNW with a cross-on wind and combined energy of just 89 – weak sauce. Thursday morning cleans up briefly with glassy conditions and a small 3 ft swell (energy 114), but it’s still ordinary. Friday and Saturday follow a similar pattern: small waist-high waves but nothing with any power or shape. The weekend gets a bit more active, but the wind stays messy – Saturday afternoon sees a spike in energy (429) from a NW swell at 3 ft, but it’s cross-on and choppy. Sunday and Monday are bigger (4-5 ft) but the wind is cross-shore and lumpy. By Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th, we’re into 7-7 ft swell – too big for beginners and blown out with fresh cross-shore winds, making it more of a kite session than a surfing one.
The real standout window arrives on Monday morning the 14th of September. That’s when Cabedelo wakes up to a clean, glassy morning with a 5 ft NW groundswell rolling in at a long 13-second period – proper energy with a combined reading of 1755, which is strong. Offshore flow from ENE keeps the faces clean, and the long period means the wave will have shape and power, best handled by experienced surfers. This is the best of the whole outlook, no question. The afternoon gets more wind-affected, so hit it early.
Tuesday the 15th still has some leftover energy (5 ft NW, 13 seconds) and cleaner conditions in the morning with cross-off wind, but the energy drops to 854. Still surfable, but the peak is definitely Monday morning.
After that, the swell fades and the wind picks back up, leaving small, choppy leftovers through to the 17th.
Water temp is 69°F, which is about normal for this time of year – nothing to write home about.
So, the call: If you’ve got a free Monday the 14th, go. Otherwise, this is a pretty quiet run.
