The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles. Let’s break down Figueiros.
We’re in a quiet patch right now. The first surf worth talking about comes on Thursday, 3rd September. Up until then, it’s all cross-onshore wind and chop—nothing you’d want to paddle out in. Thursday morning is clean with a light offshore from the SE, but the swell is only 4ft from the NW at a short 7 seconds, and the energy is weak (168). Ridable, but ordinary.
Friday, 4th September, the morning is glassy—zero wind—but the swell drops to 2ft from the NNW, period 8 seconds, energy just 75. Tiny, clean little waves for a longboard or a funboard.
Now the real highlight: Saturday, 5th September. Morning brings offshore ESE wind at 6 mph, clean conditions, and a 4ft NW swell with a nice long period of 12 seconds. The energy is moderate (369). That long period means the waves will have shape and push. This spot is exposed to W swells, so the NW direction works well. Afternoon holds up too with a light cross-offshore breeze and a 3ft NW swell (period 11 seconds, energy 315). This is the best window—clean, lined up.
Sunday, 6th September, is another winner. Morning: offshore ESE wind at 6 mph, 4ft NW swell, period 13 seconds, energy 513. That’s a solid pulse of energy. Afternoon turns glassy with no wind, 4ft NW swell (period 12 seconds, energy 403). Sunday morning is the absolute pick of the whole forecast.
Monday, 7th September, the morning is glassy with a light S breeze, 3ft NW swell (period 11 seconds, energy 220). Clean but smaller. After that, the wind goes onshore and conditions sour. From Tuesday, 8th September onward, it’s cross-onshore winds and poor surf all the way through to the end of the forecast window. Nothing worth chasing.
So, your best bets are Saturday, 5th and Sunday, 6th September. Clean offshore conditions, 4ft to 4ft NW swell, long periods, and proper shaped waves. Water temp is about average for this time of year. Get after it.
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.
