The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Ferrugem over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, my friends, the outlook for Ferrugem is a bit of a mixed bag. We've got a little window of clean surf kicking off later this week, but for the most part, we're looking at a long stretch of small, wonky conditions. The first real standout looks like Friday morning, the 24th of July. The ocean goes dead flat calm, glassy as a mirror, with a solid 6.2ft swell rolling in from the SSE. The energy is pumping with a reading of 678, and that 9-second period should give you some nice, shaped-up lines. That's the pick of the week, no doubt.
Saturday morning, the 25th, is also looking pretty tidy with glassy conditions and a 4.6ft SE swell, though the energy dips a bit to 452. It's a good backup option. After that, we hit a bit of a lull. The swell drops right off into the 3.3ft and under range for days, with a lot of light rain and cross-shore winds. The water temp is sitting at 65.1°, which is about normal for this time of year, not too cold, not too warm.
Now, looking way ahead, there's a flicker of hope on the 2nd of August. The Sunday afternoon session shows a 5.2ft S swell with a 9-second period, and it's glassy calm. The energy is strong at 753, and the forecast suggests very good conditions. That's a promising one, but it's over a week away, so don't book your flights just yet. The following Monday morning, the 3rd, also has a clean 4.3ft SSE swell, but after that, it's back to small, messy stuff for the rest of the run.

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