Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
What’s up, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – this forecast for Buarcos is a tough one. The next 16 days look flat and frustrating, with a huge gap of almost nothing happening. From Tuesday the 7th all the way through the 19th, you’re looking at a whole lot of small, weak surf and messy winds. It’s going to be a long dry spell.
The first time things get even slightly interesting is Sunday the 12th. Buarcos (Figueira da Foz - Buarcos) is a point break, and in the morning you’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the NW with a 9-second period. The wave energy is moderate at 114, but the wind is dead calm – glassy. It’ll look pretty, but there’s almost no power. The water is about normal for the time of year. You’ll only see a few other surfers since crowds are just sometimes. It’s barely rideable.
For the next week after that, it’s back to the same old story: tiny swells, short periods, and onshore or cross-shore breezes. No standout days at all.
Then on Monday the 20th, things pick up just a touch. The surf reaches 4ft from the NW, but the period is only 7 seconds, so it’s weak and disorganized. The combined energy is moderate at 131. Morning winds are clean and cross-off from the NNW. It’s the biggest swell of the period, but still just ordinary, surfable waves. If you’re an experienced surfer, you might find a few crumbly lines on the point.
Honestly, the only time it’s worth paddling out is the glassy morning of the 12th or the slightly bigger morning of the 20th. Don’t hold your breath for anything good.
Rusty.
