Alright, let’s break this down.
Right now, Cordama is looking bleak. Over the entire 16-day forecast, there’s not a single session I’d recommend. The first bit of size shows up on Thursday afternoon, July 2nd, with a 6 ft NW swell, 9-second period, and moderate energy (502), but the wind is cross-on from the WNW at 3 mph, making it messy. The report calls it marginal.
From July 3rd all the way through the morning of July 12th, it’s poor. Swells stay under 3 ft, and the energy is weak – mostly under 100. Even when the wind is clean, there’s just no power.
On July 12th, there’s a 4 ft NW swell with an 8-second period, but the wind is cross-on from the NNW at 16 mph, chopping it up. Energy is moderate at 202, but it’s not worth paddling out.
July 14th sees a 2 ft WNW swell with a long 12-second period, which would usually mean nice lines, but it’s blown out by onshore NW wind at 16 mph.
The last few days, July 15th through the 17th, show some size: 5 ft to 5 ft NW swells, but the period drops to 6-7 seconds, and the wind stays onshore or cross-on. Energy is moderate, around 200-260, but the waves will be ragged.
This is a dry stretch for Cordama, but that happens here sometimes. Keep checking – things can turn around fast.

Information about the Cordoama Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cordoama provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cordoama can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cordoama surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Cordoama) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Cordoama may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Cordama is 24 km (15 miles) from Lagos. If you plan a holiday in The Algarve, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lagos. Lagos has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
