The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the long range look for our local stretch. Let's be real, it's been a bit of a flat spell and this outlook is mostly about being patient. We've got a long dry run ahead, but there's a little light at the end of the tunnel.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, there are really only two mornings that are worth getting excited about, and they're a solid week out. For the first several days, from now through to the 15th of August, the surf is pretty much a write-off. The swell is small, the wind is messy, and the wave quality is poor. It's a real stretch of frustrating conditions, so don't bother paddling out just yet.
Now, the standout window is the morning of Sunday the 16th of August. The forecast shows a clean 5ft swell pushing in from the NW with an 8-second period. The winds are light and offshore from the east at 3 mph. That's a glassy, clean look for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo. The combined wave energy is moderate at (280), and while the swell is small enough for beginners, the clean conditions make it a good one for everyone looking for a few fun ones. Crowds are possible there.
Then, if you can stretch it, the next morning on Monday the 17th looks promising again. The swell drops slightly to 4ft from the NNW, but the wind turns glassy, dead calm from the east-southeast. It’s going to be clean as a whistle. That morning at Cabedelo will offer the best conditions of the whole period, with that same moderate energy (243). After that, the winds swing onshore for the afternoons and the quality fades through the rest of the month.
So, save your energy. The long wait is for that Sunday/Monday combo on the 16th and 17th. It's not huge, but it'll be clean and fun. After that, we're back into the wind-affected stuff right through to the 25th, with very little to report.
Rusty.
