Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s break down what Figueira da Foz has in store for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak picture for Cabedelo. Most of the forecast shows poor conditions, with very few times where everything comes together. The water temperature is about 64°F—pretty normal for this time of year, nothing standout.
We start on Friday the 3rd of July with a weak NW swell of about 2ft at 11 seconds, but a NNW cross wind at 16 mph messes it up. Combined energy is only 244—weak. Saturday morning the 4th is the closest we get to a decent window: the swell drops to 2ft from the WNW, but the wind swings south at 3 mph, making it cross-offshore and clean. That’s a rare moment of decent shape, but the wave height is tiny. Not a standout for anyone looking for a proper surf.
From Saturday afternoon onward it’s a slow slide downhill. Swells shrink to 1ft or 2ft most days, with cross or cross-on winds. Energy values fall to double digits or low hundreds. Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th are both write-offs.
Mid-week, from Tuesday the 7th through Monday the 13th, the swell actually gets bigger—up to 8ft—but it’s all from the NNW with persistent cross or cross-on winds, often fresh to strong. Combined energy hits the 800s and 900s on the 12th and 13th, which is moderate to strong, but the wind ruins it. Messy cross-chop and lumpy conditions. For a beach/pier setup like Cabedelo, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than a clean paddle. The 7ft to 8ft waves with that wind are only for experts, and even then it’s ugly.
After that, the swell backs off again from the 14th onward. On the 17th of July there’s a glassy morning with no wind, but only 1ft of WNW swell—too small to ride. The 18th sees a tiny bump to 3ft but with onshore wind again.
So the best we’ve got is Saturday morning the 4th of July—light offshore, clean, but tiny. If you’re a beginner wanting to learn on ankle-biters, that’s your window. Otherwise, it’s a long, flat, or blown-out run until at least the 15th. Forecasts can always change, but right now it’s not looking good.
Rusty.
