Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. I've had a good look at the charts for our little corner of the coast and, well, it's a bit of a quiet story for the most part. There's a long stretch ahead with very little to get excited about, but we'll take it day by day.
For the first week, we're looking at a pretty flat spell. The waves are just not showing up in any meaningful way. From Monday, July 6th, all the way through to Saturday, July 11th, the energy in the water is barely a whisper, with combined swell energy readings staying well under 100 (26-98). The swell is tiny, often under 2ft, and the periods are a mixed bag of short and mid-range stuff. The wind isn't helping either, mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the north and northwest. It's the kind of week where you'd be better off tuning up your gear or finding a different hobby. There is simply no rideable surf on offer here.
We finally see a bump of energy arrive on Sunday, July 12th. The combined energy jumps to 293, with a 4ft swell from the west-northwest. But the onshore wind from the NW holds, and the forecast still calls it "poor surf conditions." It’s a little more size, but messy. This trend of onshore wind and low-quality waves continues right through the middle of the week. By Monday, July 20th, the swell actually builds significantly, hitting 7ft to 7ft from the north-northwest with combined energy at a strong 545 to 620. This is serious size – definitely expert territory – but the wind remains a problem, blowing onshore or cross-onshore and making a mess of things. For a beach setup like this, with that much wind and punch, it's looking more like a day for the kite surfers than a paddle surfer.
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout day or break in this entire 16-day run. The only place on the map is Figueiros, and it’s not offering anything clean or good. The crowd factor is listed as "sometimes" there, but with conditions like this, it won't matter. The water temp anomaly isn't given for the first break, so we can't comment on that. It’s just a long, quiet outlook. Keep the board in the shed and hope the next set of charts brings some better news. Forecasts can change.

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.
