The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break this down in feet and miles per hour.
Honestly, it’s a slow burn for the first few days. We've got a stretch of a few days where the surf just isn't worth the paddle. The first real chance to get wet is on the morning of Wednesday, 2nd September. The swell is a fun 5ft from the NW, but the big win is the wind. A light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE is going to keep the surface clean, and the wave energy is moderate (239). It’s a solid window for a beginner-friendly wave at Cabedelo (Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo). The water temp is 68°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The clear standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is the Saturday morning, 5th September. This is the session. The swell is a nice 5ft from the NW, with a sweet cross-offshore wind from the ENE. The wave energy is pumping strong (647), and the forecast is calling for very good conditions. Cabedelo can get a bit crowded, so an early bird start is the move.
The rest of the run is mostly a story of cross and onshore winds messing with the shape. The morning of Thursday, 3rd September is worth a mention for the glassy conditions on a small 4ft NW swell, but the energy is weak (146) and it’s only just surfable. The second week gets rough, with a lot of poor conditions, rain squalls, and choppy, weak surf. The 13th and 14th look particularly rough.
Bottom line: hit it Wednesday morning for a clean, smaller wave, but do not miss that Saturday the 5th. That’s your best bet.
Rusty.
