The Lowdown

Well, how's it going, folks? Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Figueira da Foz.

To be honest, the next few days are a bit of a letdown. The surf is just not there for a proper paddle. We’ve got small, choppy, and weak waves through the start of the period. It’s a quiet stretch, but don’t lose hope—things are shaping up to change.

We’re looking at a long wait, but the first real chance to get wet comes on Thursday, September 11th. The morning session at Cabedelo (Figueira da Foz) is looking like a winner. We’ve got a light, clean cross-offshore breeze from the NE, and the swell is a clean 4ft from the NNW. The combined energy is moderate at 258, and while it’s a short-period wind swell, those light winds should keep the surface smooth. It’s not a monster, but it’s the first decent option on the table.

Now, mark your calendars for Saturday, September 12th because that morning is the real standout. Cabedelo will be firing with a solid 6ft of swell out of the NW. The wind is a light offshore from the NNE, making for some seriously clean conditions. The combined energy jumps to a strong 524. This is a proper session for intermediate and above. The crowd can be a factor here sometimes, but on a morning this good, it’s a price worth paying.

Then, the real gem is looking like Tuesday, September 15th. The morning is absolutely glassy—zero wind—and there’s a nice 5ft groundswell from the NW. The combined energy is powerful at 769. That glassy, clean surface and that kind of energy is what dreams are made of. The afternoon stays on, but the wind shifts onshore, so the morning is the window.

Further out, the morning of Wednesday, September 16th holds some promise too, with a 5ft NW swell and light winds, though there are a few rain showers around. The swell energy is still strong at 706, so it’s worth keeping an eye on, but it’s a little less certain this far out.

The water temperature is sitting at a pleasant 69°, which is just about average for the time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit.

Alright, that’s the long and short of it. The first week is a write-off, but the second week has some absolute crackers. I’ll be on the beach for that Tuesday morning glass-off.

Rusty.
