Table - best surf conditions forecast for Figueiros over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let's take a look at what Figueiros has cookin'. It's a bit of a slow start, so don't rush out. The water's at about 67°, which is a touch colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want an extra layer.
The first real chance to get wet is Thursday, September 3rd. The morning's glassy with a 4ft NW swell, a short 7-second period, and weak energy (130). It's surfable, but nothing special.
Things start to get interesting from Saturday, September 5th. The morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze and a 4ft NW swell. The energy picks up to 208. The afternoon goes glassy with a 3ft NW swell (284 energy). That's a good little window.
The standout of the first week is Sunday, September 6th. The morning is clean with a 4ft NW swell, a 12-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is a solid 532, so there's some proper punch. The afternoon holds up too, clean with a 4ft NW swell.
We then hit a quiet stretch with onshore winds and smaller waves for a few days.
Now, for the big one. Tuesday, September 15th is the real standout. The morning is glassy with a solid 7ft NW swell and a 14-second period. The energy is massive at 1905, so this is a powerful groundswell. For experienced surfers, this is the session to aim for. Just remember, a long-period swell like this can be a bit walled at a beach break, but at Figueiros it should be firing. The afternoon is a bit iffy with a cross-shore wind, but that morning is the gold.
Bottom line: the best of the best is that Tuesday, September 15th morning session at Figueiros. If you're up for the size, it's the one.

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.
