Figueiros Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for Figueiros. We’re staring down a long, flat spell with nothing worthwhile on the cards. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is dead average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

From Thursday the 16th right through until the morning of Tuesday the 29th of July, it’s a write-off. Every single session is showing poor surf conditions with cross-onshore or onshore wind, choppy lumps, and tiny, weak swell. The combined energy is mostly in the double digits, well under 100 (60, 44, 25, 26, 48, 43, etc.), and even the slightly bigger days in the range of 3ft to 4ft are just messy, with no quality. The wind is coming from the NNW or N, which is cross-on for this exposed W-facing break, and it’s just not cooperating.

The only glimmer of hope comes very late in the window. On the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July, we get a brief window of something different. The wind goes glassy from the WSW, and the swell is a tiny 1ft from the WNW at 10 seconds. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The combined energy is a moderate 100. It’s not a standout by any stretch, just the only moment where the wind isn’t ruining it. For a beginner-friendly spot like Figueiros, that tiny glassy wave might be a fun little session, but don’t expect any power.

Then we’re back into the wind and chop for the final days of the month. The 31st of July shows a jump in swell to 5ft-5ft with a period of 9-10 seconds, and the combined energy rockets up to 511 and 574, which is strong. But the wind is still cross-on or onshore, and the conditions are lumpy and poor. It’s a strong, messy swell, not a clean one.

Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there’s no real standout. Wednesday the 29th is the only one that’s even surfable, but it’s not worth a special trip. The rest of the time, you’re better off doing something else. This is a tough run for Figueiros.
