The Lowdown
Alright lads, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on offer for the coastline.
The water's sitting at 82°, a touch warmer than average for this time of year. Nice for a swim, but it won't fix the surf.
I'm going to be honest with you – the whole 16-day forecast is a total dud. There's nothing to recommend from now through the 19th of August. The only spot in the game is Farol, and it's a no-go.
The swell is weak and sloppy. The combined energy numbers are mostly in the low to moderate range, barely getting into triple digits. The swell direction is out of the ENE and NE, straight onshore or cross-shore for this exposed spot, and the period is short, just 5 to 7 seconds. That's pure windswell, no shape or power to it. The wind is a constant problem, blowing from the ESE and NE at 12 to 18 mph, keeping the surface choppy, lumpy, and bumpy. There's not a single session with clean, offshore conditions.
Swell heights are between 3 and 6 feet, but with that onshore wind, it's just a blown-out, bumpy mess. No standouts, no hope, no good. This is a brutal stretch where the region just isn't producing. Forecasts can change, but right now, you're better off doing something else. For a beach break like this, it's honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Rusty out.

Information about the Farol Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Farol provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Farol can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Farol 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 (Farol) 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 Farol 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.
