The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Figueiros has got lined up for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
First up, the pattern is pretty grim for a stretch. We’ve got some swell pulsing through, but the onshore and cross-shore winds are just wrecking it. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. From now until the end of August, we’re looking at a real rough patch. The swell builds to around 7 ft, but it’s plagued by messy wind. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, any size over 5 ft starts getting a bit much for the groms, and with the chop, it’s just not worth paddling out. The wave energy is moderate, peaking around 380, but it’s all poor surf conditions.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Thursday the 3rd of September. The wind swings offshore from the SE with a moderate breeze, and the swell settles to around 5 ft out of the NW with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a solid, clean offering for the intermediate crew. Wave energy is low-moderate (229), but the conditions make up for it. It’s not a standout, just a welcome change after the dry spell.
Forget the early part of that week, because the real standout is Tuesday the 8th of September. After lunch, Figueiros turns on. We’ve got glassy conditions, light air, and a clean 5 ft NNW swell with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 690, which is strong. The swell direction is right on the money for this break. This is the one to circle. It’ll be a fun, punchy wave, but with that size and power, it’s best suited to those with a bit of experience.
After that, the following days keep the offshore flow going with SE winds, keeping things clean, but the swell slowly backs off. The 9th and 10th of September offer continued clean waves in the 4-5 ft range, a nice little run to close out the period. The gap at the start is about 8 days of slop before we see the first decent option.
Rusty out.

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.
