The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s heading to this stretch.
We start off with a rough patch for Figueira da Foz - Cabedelo. The first few days are all poor conditions—messy winds, small and short-period swell. I can’t recommend anything until Friday, August 28th.
Friday, August 28th morning is the clearest highlight. Skies are clear, wind is glassy light out of the ESE—that’s about as clean as it gets. The swell is 8 ft from the WNW with an 11-second period, so proper groundswell. Combined energy is strong at 1216. But here’s the catch: this is a beginner-friendly beach/pier break, and that size is predicted to be too big for it. This is for experienced surfers only. Water temp is about normal for the season.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions through the end of August and into early September. Saturday, August 29th morning has a smaller 5 ft NW swell (283 energy) with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. Could be a few fun ones, but nothing special.
Into the second week, Tuesday, September 1st morning has a 7 ft NW swell with an 11-second period (974 energy), but again the size and wind make it too much for this spot. Monday, September 7th morning is marginal with a tiny 2 ft swell from the W but a very long 20-second period (754 energy). Long lulls and small waves. The afternoon brings a 5 ft swell but with cross-onshore chop.
The biggest energy hits Tuesday, September 8th morning: a massive 13 ft swell from the WNW with a 14-second period and combined energy of 5583. That’s serious power. Light cross-onshore wind could keep it looking clean, but this break is for beginners—that swell will be way too heavy and dangerous. Experts only. The afternoon holds 12 ft but the wind picks up and goes onshore.
Wednesday, September 9th morning has a 7 ft swell from the NNW with a 9-second period (892 energy) and gentle cross-shore wind. Again, too big for the typical crowd here.
The one to circle on your calendar is Friday, August 28th morning—glassy, powerful groundswell, but only if you’ve got the skills. For the rest of us, it’s a bleak 16-day stretch.
Rusty.
