The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and Fahrenheit. This is Buarcos at Figueira da Foz, a point break that needs the right swell to show its teeth. The whole 16-day forecast is mostly a bust.
Your first real window is Saturday morning, August 1st. There’s a tiny 3ft swell from the NNW, with a real short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 159. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at about 69°. The good part is it’s glassy, but that swell is too weak and short for this spot to do anything interesting.
Then it’s a long, dry spell. The wind is mostly junk, and the swell stays small. By the 7th and 8th of August, the size picks up to around 5ft, but the wind is onshore or cross-on, making a mess of it. The energy gets up to 489, but it’s still a short period and choppy. That’s more of a kiteboarding setup than a paddle session.
The only slightly promising moment is Sunday morning, August 9th. The wind goes north with a light cross-off breeze, and the swell is 4ft from the WNW with an 8-second period. It’s clean, and the energy is 181. For a break that doesn’t fire often, this is the best you’ll see in the forecast. It’s still only a one-out-of-ten, though.
After that, the wind stays strong from the north and NNW, keeping it clean but small, with the energy dropping off fast. By the afternoon of the 13th, it’s barely a ripple. This is a tough run.
