Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.
First off, I gotta be straight with you—this 16-day stretch for Figueira da Foz is a tough one. There's a proper dry spell to start. We’re looking at a long gap from now, clear through until the morning of Monday, July 13th, where nothing really gets a recommendation. That's over a week of small, weak waves and messy conditions. Not worth paddling out for.
The water temp's sitting around 65.5° here at Buarcos, which is bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimpse of hope comes on the morning of Tuesday, July 14th. That morning, we’ve got glassy conditions with a 2.6 ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a period of 12 seconds. Combined energy is at 175 (moderate). That longer period means the wave shape should be decent, and with glass, it’ll be clean as a whistle. But honestly, it’s still on the small side, more of a longboard or funboard session.
The standout of the whole outlook, if you can wait, is the morning of Thursday, July 16th. We’re looking at a 4.9 ft swell from the NNW, but with a short, punchy period of just 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 274 (moderate), so there's some push behind it. The wind is glassy—dead calm—which is a huge plus and will make those waves look way better than the size suggests. That’s your best bet for a proper session. Keep in mind, at 4.9 ft, it might be a bit much for beginners, but for advanced crew on a point break setup, it’ll be fun.
For the rest of the second week, the morning of Wednesday the 15th is also glassy but with slightly smaller 2.9 ft waves, and then Friday the 17th looks blown out with onshore wind.
So, to sum it up: it’s a long, quiet start, but if you’ve got patience, that Thursday the 16th morning is the one to circle.
