The Lowdown

Alright, my friends, Rusty here, bringing you the lowdown in feet and degrees.

It's a slow burner for Figueira da Foz. We're kicking off with a few days of messy, onshore junk that's not worth your time. The wind is messy and the waves are poor. We've got a solid run of poor surf from Monday the 31st of August right through to the end of the first week of September.

The real standout opens up on Sunday the 6th of September. That morning, the wind drops out completely and goes glassy. We've got a clean 4ft groundswell from the NW with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 468. That's a proper session for Cabedelo. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit is your best bet.

Then, Monday the 7th of September morning is another beauty. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping things clean, with a 3ft swell from the WNW and a very long period of 14 seconds. The energy is moderate at 462. That long period will make the waves a bit more lined up, but you'll be waiting for the sets. It's a beginner-friendly spot, but with that size, it's perfect for getting your first few proper green waves.

We also have Tuesday the 8th of September morning looking glassy and clean with a 3ft WNW swell, but the period is a bit shorter at 11 seconds. Still a great option.

Later in the run, from the 14th of September, the wind swings around to a cross-offshore from the SSE, which will clean things up, but the swell is a bit smaller. It's not the best of the run, but it's a solid option if you missed the earlier windows.

So, to put it simply: the best surf on offer is Sunday the 6th of September morning and Monday the 7th of September morning at Cabedelo. The first is glassy with a solid groundswell, the second is clean with a very long period swell. Don't sleep on them.

Rusty.
