The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s talk about Figueiros for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a total washout. From Monday the 7th all the way through Saturday the 12th, it’s just not worth paddling out. The wind is howling onshore or cross-onshore from the north and north-northwest, and it’s ruining everything. There’s some swell, sure, but it’s short-period, choppy junk. The combined energy on Monday the 7th is a moderate 749, but it’s all for nothing with that 15 mph wind. Save your energy and your wax. That’s a solid six-day gap of nothing.
Now, we finally get a look in on Sunday the 13th. The morning is glassy – a light 3 mph southeast wind – and we’ve got a 3ft swell from the northwest with a 10-second period. The combined energy is 424. It’s going to be clean, but the swell isn’t super long-period. Still, for a Sunday morning, it’s the first real chance. The water’s at 67°F, which is about 4°F colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.
The real standout is Monday the 14th morning. That’s your best bet. The wind is light and offshore from the southeast at 6 mph, with a 4ft northwest swell and a proper 12-second period. The combined energy is 389. That’s a clean, lined-up wave with a good push. The offshore wind will hold it open, and the longer period means the sets will have some real grunt. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so it’s a great day for a proper session. The afternoon gets a bit cross-off, but it’s still fine.
After that, it drops off. Tuesday the 15th has a small offshore wind in the morning, but the swell is only 3ft. The rest of the second week is mostly onshore winds and marginal conditions. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th are a no-go. Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th see a bump in swell to about 6ft, but the period is short (7-8 seconds) and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore – that’s more of a kiteboarding chop than a paddle surfer’s wave.
So, for the pick of the litter, it’s Monday the 14th morning. Sunday the 13th morning is a good backup for the glassy conditions. The stuff around the 22nd looks interesting on paper with a 6ft swell and a 506 energy reading, but the wind is still cross-onshore, so it’s a long-range watch.
Rusty.

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.
