The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break this down in feet for you.
Honestly, it’s a quiet start and pretty frustrating. We're looking at a solid gap of nearly two weeks of nothing worth paddling out for. The first real sniff of something rideable doesn’t roll in until the morning of Saturday, August 15th at Figueiros (Portugal). Before that, it’s just a lot of onshore slop, low energy, and blown-out conditions. Nothing to get excited about.
The standout by a long shot is that Saturday morning. We get a clean 5 ft swell out of the NNW with light offshore wind from the SSE. That’s a real winner for a spot like this – glassy conditions, clean faces. The wave energy is moderate, sitting at 230, so there’s enough push to have some fun. This is beginner-friendly size too, so a good crew can get amongst it. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The swell period is short, only 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit of windswell, not a deep groundswell. But with the wind right, it’ll still be the best surf of the whole forecast.
There’s a bit of a fringe option on the morning of Sunday, August 16th, with a 2 ft WNW swell and light offshore wind, but it’s very small and marginal – more of a longboard or a learner session if you’re desperate. The energy is weak at 100. The wind is good though, so it’s clean, just tiny.
Other than that, the run up to the 15th is a write-off. Lots of cross-on and onshore wind, small lumpy waves, and poor conditions. The afternoon of Friday, August 14th shows a 5 ft NW swell, but it’s borderline with questionable conditions – not worth the gamble.
So, keep your eyes on that Saturday, 15th August morning. That’s the call.
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.
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.
