The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what we’ve got for Figueira da Foz. Honestly, the next week and a half is a story of waiting and watching. The swell is there, but the wind is making things tough.

The first session to even think about is Saturday morning, September 20th. That’s the first real standout. We’ve got a clean 5.2 ft swell rolling in from the northwest with a solid 11-second period. The wind is a gentle offshore from the east, keeping it glassy. It’s not huge, but it’s the most user-friendly wave we see for a while, with moderate wave energy (629). This is a beginner-friendly break anyway, so that size works well. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

Then, Monday morning, September 22nd delivers again. Similar deal: a 4.6 ft NW swell, a little more period at 12 seconds, and an offshore ESE breeze at just 6 mph. That’s clean, lined-up surf. The combined energy is a solid 771, so there's push. It’s the best quality on offer, but note that the afternoon gets choppy, so it’s a dawn-patrol special.

The real sleeper might be Tuesday morning, September 23rd. The swell drops to 3.9 ft, but the wind switches to a glassy 3 mph from the ESE. That’s as clean as it gets. Long 12-second period makes for nice, walled-up waves for a longboard or a funboard. Combined energy is moderate (396), but the conditions will make it feel better than the numbers suggest.

Things get really interesting late in the window. Monday morning, September 29th sees another clean morning with a 4.6 ft NW groundswell and a 12-second period. Wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSE. This is another solid, clean session with good energy (652).

The absolute standout for the second week, though, is Tuesday morning, September 30th. The swell is a touch smaller at 3.9 ft, but the wind is perfect: glassy, from the ESE at 3 mph. A 12-second NW groundswell and 396 energy. It’s clean, predictable, and the break is exposed enough to catch it. The rip current might be the only thing to watch, but the conditions are as good as it gets for a Tuesday.

Crowds at Cabedelo can pop up sometimes, so if you see a clean, glassy morning like this, don’t sleep on it. The water is about normal for the season.

There’s a big gap in the middle of the first week where the swell gets too big and the wind turns lumpy. That drops off. But from the 20th on, there are windows. The mornings are your friend.
