The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Figueiros.

Overall, this stretch is a bit of a letdown. For the first week and a half the surf is small and messy, mostly cross-onshore or onshore, so you won’t find much to get excited about. It’s a long gap of poor conditions. Then right at the end, on the 30th, things finally come together with a proper clean swell.

Starting from Wednesday the 15th and all the way into the latter part of July, it’s really tough. The swell rarely gets above 4ft and the period is short, usually 5 to 7 seconds, so the waves lack punch. Wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore—NW, NNW, or N—making the surface choppy and lumpy. The energy readings are low, often below 100 (weak energy), and the wave comments say “poor surf conditions” across the board. There’s nothing worth paddling out for here for a long, long stretch.

The water temp is around 69°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th see the swell bump up a little to 3ft, but the period is a weak 5 seconds and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s just bumpy junk.

Monday the 21st brings a slight increase in combined energy to 154 (moderate wave energy) but still poor surf conditions with short-period NNW swell and cross-onshore wind.

It stays rough through Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd, small and lumpy.

Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th are small and choppy again, barely 3ft.

Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th see a little more size—4ft to 4ft—but the period stays around 6 seconds and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, so the quality isn’t there.

Monday the 29th is the first hint of change. On Wednesday the 29th, the swell picks up to 5ft with a 9-second period and NW wind with onshore flow, but it’s still marginal. The energy jumps to 654 (strong wave energy) but the wave comment says “marginal surf forecast.”

The standout—the only real highlight in the whole 16 days—is Thursday the 30th. On the 30th, the wind turns offshore from the SE, and that changes everything. The swell hits 7ft from the northwest with a period of 8 seconds, which is respectable. The combined energy is 489 (strong wave energy), and the wind is gentle offshore, making it clean. This is a day for more experienced surfers, though; with swell over 5ft, it’s too big for beginners. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is clearly the best on offer. Crowds are possible sometimes, so keep that in mind if you’re heading out.

So, in short: a long, poor run of small, choppy surf until the 30th, when you get a good clean northwest swell with light offshore wind. That’s the day to mark.

Information about the Figueiros Surf forecast

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

Figueiros is 23 km (14 miles) from Lagos. If you plan a holiday in The Algarve, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lagos. Lagos has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
