The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s get this straight. I’ve been staring at the charts for Figueiros and, honestly, it’s a bit of a rough stretch for us.
There’s no real swell hitting this spot at all in the next 16 days. The energy readings are mostly weak to moderate, nothing that’s going to get the heart pumping. For the first week, we're looking at nothing but poor surf conditions; the wind is all over the place – cross-onshore and onshore, with a moderate breeze kicking things up. It’s just choppy and a bit of a mess. If you’re thinking about a paddle, you might be better off just grabbing a coffee and watching the horizon.
We’ve got a long, flat spell here. The first few days are all under 3 feet, with weak energy (in the 50s to 190s). It’s not until around the 14th that we see any kind of push, but even then, it’s only 4 feet. That’s still not ideal, and the wind state is just as poor then, with that cross-onshore flow messing up the surface. We are looking at a beach setup, so all those 8-9 second period swells are just going to close out and be messy. Honestly, with the consistent onshore breeze and those weak, short-period waves, this might be more interesting for the kite surfers than us. The setup looks more like a wind sport day than a surf day.
There is one small window over the 19th of August where the wind drops to a light breeze, but the swell is still tiny, around 2 to 3 feet, with weak energy (123-127). It might be the only time you could get a clean-ish wave, but it's not going to be a standout. Just a chance to get wet without getting beaten up.
Hang in there, the long-range looks just as bleak quick. This is more normal for the area when it goes completely flat. Forecasts can change, so don't walk away yet. It tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
