The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for our local banks.
It’s a tough start, I’m not gonna lie. The first ten days or so are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind, and the wave quality is just poor. We’ve got a few little pulses of energy, but it’s all blown out. The water is sitting at 66°, which is a good 5° colder than you’d expect for this time of year – that’s a notable chill, so you’ll want a decent suit.
The real light at the end of the tunnel comes on Saturday the 22nd. That morning, we finally see a switch. A clean, gentle offshore wind from the southeast is gonna work magic on that 5ft northwest swell. It’s only a short period, but with that offshore flow, it’ll be clean and fun. The wave energy is moderate (299), and it’s our first real chance of the run.
Figueiros is the spot to have on your radar for that Saturday morning. It’s a very consistent beginner-friendly break, but it’s exposed to the west. With that northwest swell and a clean offshore breeze, the lineup will be tidy. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so get in early for the cleanest ones.
Hang on to your hats for Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th, though. Sunday morning delivers a cracking 4ft groundswell from the northwest with a very long period of 12 seconds. The combined energy is strong (929), and the wind is a clean cross-offshore. That’s a beautiful setup. Then Monday morning the 24th is the standout. It’s an excellent 7ft swell from the northwest, with a period of 9 seconds, and a gentle offshore. The energy is very strong (1625). This is one for the experienced crew only, as 7ft is pushing into expert territory. The wind stays clean, and the waves will have some serious welly behind them.
After that, it looks like we’re back to smaller, more ordinary conditions for the rest of the window.
So, to wrap it up: sit tight through the first week of rubbish. The real action is the weekend of the 22nd for a clean fun wave, but the absolute standout is Monday morning the 24th for the experienced surfers. That’s the one you clear the diary for.
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.
