Table - best surf conditions forecast for Figueiros over the next 16 days.
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards for Figueiros over the next couple of weeks.
I’ll be straight with you – the outlook starts off pretty grim. The first week is basically a write-off. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, with the wind howling onshore or cross-onshore nearly every session, making for messy, choppy waves. It’s not until Sunday, the 26th of July, that we finally see a glimmer of hope. That’s a solid gap of nearly a week and a half with nothing worth paddling out for.
Now, for that one standout session. The real gem comes on Sunday morning, the 26th of July. The wind is set to swing around to a light WNW and go dead glassy. The swell will be a clean 5 ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, pushing moderate energy (266). This is the only window where the stars align – clean, offshore wind conditions will make for some tidy waves. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and at that size, it’s perfect for learning or just cruising on a longboard.
The water temp will be around 68°F, which is about normal for the time of year, so the shorty might stay in the bag, but you'll be fine in a spring suit.
Beyond that standout morning, the rest of the period is dominated by that persistent onshore flow and building swell that’s too big (over 8 ft by the 24th) and ugly for paddle surfing. When the swell is big and the wind is messy, this beach setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional paddle session.
So, to sum it up: wait for that Sunday morning on the 26th of July. It’s the one moment of true quality in an otherwise poor stretch. Use the time to get your gear sorted and be ready for that glassy window.
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.
