Table - best surf conditions forecast for Figueira da Foz - Buarcos over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this down for the imperial crowd.
The main spot we’re looking at is Buarcos (Figueira da Foz - Buarcos). It’s a point break, so it likes a bit of direction. The water temp is hanging around 67°, which is about average for now.
The forecast kicks off on Friday, August 28, but it’s a rough start. There’s a 7ft swell from the WNW with an 11-second period, and the energy is pumping (1027 combined energy), but the light cross-onshore wind is making it choppy and messy. Saturday morning, August 29, sees a 5ft NW swell with a light NNE cross-offshore wind. The energy is moderate (367 combined energy), and it’s clean. It’s a solid session for the advanced crew, but nothing to write home about.
The real standout is Saturday, September 5. The morning shows a 5ft NW swell with a very long 13-second period, and the wind is light NNW cross-offshore. The energy is strong (751 combined energy), and the forecast says “very good surf conditions.” With that long period and a point break setup, you’re going to get long, clean lines. Keep in mind, this spot is “inconsistent” and can get crowded “sometimes,” so be ready to share.
The 6th of September, a Sunday morning, is also a good option with a 4ft NW swell (11-second period) and a moderate NNE offshore wind. The energy is moderate (337 combined energy), and it’s clean. A decent backup.
After that, the 8th and 9th of September bring a building swell, hitting 7ft to 8ft from the NNW with a short period (8 seconds). That’s a lot of power (over 600 combined energy), but the short period means the waves will be a bit dumpy and tough. This is expert-only territory.
The last little window comes on the 12th of September, with a 3ft swell from the WNW and a dreamy 15-second period, glassy conditions, and moderate energy (472 combined energy). The period is perfect for a point break, so if you’re patient, the sets will be clean and tapering.
The best bet is the morning of Saturday, September 5. Solid swell, long period, and clean wind. That’s the one.
