The Lowdown
Imperial
Alright, Rusty here again, breakin’ it down for Figueiros in feet and miles per hour.
The next couple of weeks are mostly a rough patch. Water temp is about 68°, which is a touch cooler than average for this time of year, so keep that in mind.
From Sunday the 30th of August through to Wednesday the 2nd of September, don’t even think about it. We’ve got a strong north and north-northwest wind blowing 12 to 18 mph, onshore or cross-nshore. The swell is running 3 to 6 ft, but it’s all chopped up and lumpy. The energy readings are in the moderate range (219 to 635), but the surf is poor. No bueno.
Thursday the 3rd of September gives us a brief break. The wind goes glassy in the morning and afternoon, and we see small, ordinary 3 to 4 ft waves from the northwest, but with a short 7-second period. The energy is weak (120 to 130). You might get a few limp waves if you’re really jonesing, but it’s nothing to write home about.
Friday the 4th is back to onshore winds, and while the afternoon sees a long-eriod 13-second swell at 2 ft, it’s under a moderate breeze – poor conditions.
Saturday the 5th of September is your only real shot. That afternoon session is the gem of the forecast. Glassy conditions, zero wind, and a clean 5 ft swell from the northwest at 10 seconds. The energy is strong at 501, and the call is “expect very good surf conditions.” It’s a beginner-friendly size, but the clean glass will give you smooth walls. The break is very consistent, so you’ll get plenty of waves. Mark your calendar for this one.
From Sunday the 6th of September through to the 14th, it’s back to onshore and cross-nshore winds, with swells from 2 ft to 6 ft, but the wind ruins everything. A couple of marginal windows pop up on the 12th of September morning with a 3 ft, 11-second swell and a light breeze, but it’s not enough to get excited about.
Bottom line: ignore the water until Saturday the 5th of September afternoon. That’s the only proper clean, glassy session in a long stretch of junk. Everything else is a pass.

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.
Figueiros is 23 km (14 miles) from Lagos. If you plan a holiday in The Algarve, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lagos. Lagos has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
