The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and grim for Figari. We've got a long stretch of nothing on the horizon, but there’s a little pulse of energy mid-period that might get the heart rate up, even if it’s not going to be a classic.
The whole 16-day window kicks off with a whole lot of nothing. The opening days are dead flat, with the odd knee-high ripple and a fair bit of chop. The water’s a warm 80°, which is a solid 7° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, and it’ll feel like bathwater, but you’ll be floating around on a lake, not a surf break.
We do see a little bump of energy building through Thursday the 17th and into Friday the 18th. The swell direction is WNW, with combined energy values at 196 and then 121, which is in the moderate range. But the wind is onshore, making things a mess. This isn't the time to paddle out with a shortboard and high hopes. Better to watch it from the sand.
Now, here’s the one genuine window of opportunity. Saturday the 19th rolls in with a clean 3ft to 4ft of WNW swell, a period of 8 seconds, and combined energies of 123 in the morning and 151 in the afternoon. The morning is glassy, dead calm, which is a major positive. The afternoon sees a light offshore breeze from the east, and that’s the standout of the whole run. It’s not big, and it’s a beach break, so the longer period might make it a bit straight, but for a couple of hours, it's your best shot at a proper wave. The swell direction is WNW, which is not the predicted optimum (SW), so adjust your expectations.
After that, it just fades away. The swell dies off, and we sink back into flatness from the 21st through the end of the month. There’s a whole run of days with clean, offshore winds from the east and northeast, but with zero swell, it doesn’t matter. It’s going to be a long, quiet spell.
With that wind and flat water, Figari will be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. For us, we just have to be patient. One good morning on the 19th is all we get, and even that is a promise, not a guarantee. Keep your eyes on the charts.
Rusty.

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