Table - best surf conditions forecast for Figueira da Foz - Buarcos over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Buarcos in feet and miles.
The first week and a half is a tough slog. There’s a big gap of flat or poor conditions from now until mid-month. The waves are tiny and the wind is a mess.
The first thing that’s worth a look is Saturday, the 18th of July. The swell picks up to 6ft from the NNW, but it’s a short 8-second period, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. The combined energy is moderate (389), and the cross-off wind keeps it clean, but it’s only marginal.
The one to really get excited about is Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. The wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a clean 5ft of swell from the NNW. The period is still short at 8 seconds, but with that glassy surface and moderate energy (279), the conditions are set to be good. That’s your window. The crowds can be a problem sometimes, so beat the rush.
The rest of the second week is a mix of messy wind and smaller, short-period swell. The waves stay around 3ft to 5ft, but the wind is mostly cross-off or fresh, making it a grind. The point break setup here will handle the short period better than a beach break, so it might still offer a few fun ones.
Rusty, signing off.
