Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ferrugem over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for our piece of the Atlantic.
We’ve got a slow start. The first few days are average – small swell, mixed winds – but there's a clear standout session coming, so keep the board ready.
Wednesday morning is the best early call at Ferrugem. Clean 4ft southerly swell with a 9-second period. Light offshore from the NNW is keeping the faces smooth. Water temp is 60°, which is about 6° colder than normal – that’s a real winter punch, so suit up. The combined swell energy reads 322, moderate, but enough to get some fun rides on the sandbar.
Things drop off Wednesday afternoon and Thursday, with swell under 3ft and winds going cross or cross-off. You can surf, but you have to hunt for a corner.
Friday is rubbish. Small swell, long period, then onshore winds turn it into a washing machine.
Saturday morning, July 11th is the one. We’ve got a 4ft ESE groundswell with a 13-second period, and the wind goes glassy from the NW. No breeze, just lined-up waves. The combined energy is 752 – moderate to strong – so there’s real push. That long period means longer waits between sets, which makes paddling out easier. Clean 4ft with no wind? That’s a top-tier session. Watch the tide.
Sunday morning keeps the run going with 3ft ESE swell and an offshore NW breeze. Waist-to-chest high, clean – just what the doctor ordered.
A big pulse arrives Monday, July 13th. Swell jumps to 7ft from the south with a short 9-second period. The energy reading is 1153 – very strong. That’s a powerful, dumpy wave. At 7ft, it’s expert territory. The wind turns cross-on in the afternoon, so get on it early if you’re keen.
Tuesday morning July 14th offers a glassy 5ft S swell, but it’s short-period, so it’ll be a bit fat. Fun for a paddle but not the quality of the weekend.
Sunday morning, July 19th brings another solid window. 6ft ENE swell with a clean cross-off wind at 9 mph. Energy is 676 – moderate to strong. The 8-second period means it’ll be a bit fast and sectiony, but clean 6ft with that wind is still a proper session. The days around it have similar size but worse wind, so Sunday morning is the pick.
Final call: The absolute standout is Saturday morning, July 11th at Ferrugem – glassy 4ft groundswell with real power. Second pick is Sunday morning, July 19th for a bigger, punchier wave in clean conditions. The rest of the run is small or windy, but those two windows are the real deal.
Get out there when you can.

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.
