Table - best surf conditions forecast for Almagreira over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Look, I gotta be straight with you – we’re in for a proper flat spell at Almagreira. The whole 16-day window from July 7 through July 22 is showing nothing worth paddling out for. Every single session is marked as poor surf conditions, and the combined wave energy barely flickers – most days it’s below 50, often zero. For a break that’s usually fairly consistent, that’s a real bummer.
Water temp is sitting at 65°F (about average for this time of year), but you won’t need a wetsuit for the sitting-around you’ll be doing.
Let’s run through it. Tuesday morning July 7: a tiny 2ft swell from the NNW with a short 4-second period, onshore northerly wind at 12 mph – messy. That same tiny, weak pattern sticks around Wednesday and Thursday. Friday July 10 offers a brief 2ft pulse but still cross-onshore and choppy. By Saturday July 11, the surf flatlines – zero energy. That dead stretch runs into the next week: barely a ripple until Thursday July 16, when we see a 4ft west swell appear, period only 7 seconds, but it’s accompanied by a brisk 16 mph northerly onshore wind – chopped-up and unrideable. The combined energy for that session hits 134, which is moderate but useless with that wind.
The rest of the second week stays poor: tiny swells, short periods, and onshore or cross-onshore winds. Even the glassy moment on Monday July 13 morning (0.3ft from the SW, 18-second period) is essentially flat. The whole forecast is a write-off. On the bright side, a spot like Almagreira that’s fairly consistent doesn’t often stay this quiet for long – forecasts can turn. But right now, there’s no standout session, no window. Keep an eye on the charts.

Information about the Almagreira Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Almagreira provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Almagreira can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Almagreira surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Almagreira) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Almagreira may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
