The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.
First up, the water temp at Ferrugem is sitting at 66°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year. No surprises there.
Honestly, the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing exciting from now until early August. There’s a few days with small, weak swell and messy wind, so don’t get your hopes up. The 4th of August is the first real glimmer. That Tuesday morning, the wind goes glassy with a clean offshore from the NNE, and we’ve got a solid 3ft groundswell rolling in from the SSE with a period of 12 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 361. It’s not huge, but the conditions will be clean. This is where it starts to get interesting.
The standout is Wednesday morning, the 5th of August. Ferrugem is looking at 5ft of swell from the SSE, with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is cross-offshore from the NNE at 12 mph. The combined energy is strong at 544. This is a legit size, and with clean conditions, it’ll be offering up some proper waves. It’s a little on the bigger side, so maybe not for the groms, but for the experienced crew, this is the pick of the bunch. The swell direction is a good match for the spot’s optimum. Crowds are often here, so expect some company.
The following Friday, the 7th of August, has a nice afternoon session. 4ft from the SE, period 9 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. The energy is moderate at 332. It’ll be clean and fun, but not as powerful as the Wednesday.
After that, it gets a bit messy again with onshore winds and building swell through the weekend, and the 11th of August Tuesday morning has a clean 3ft from the south with a 10-second period, cross-off wind, and moderate energy at 252. Worth a look if you’re keen.
Overall, the best window is the 5th of August. That Wednesday morning is the one to circle.
Rusty.

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.
