The Lowdown

Let's get real about Figueiros for the next couple of weeks. I've gotta be straight with you – it's looking like a tough run for most of it.

To kick things off, the water temp's about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing wild there.

Right now, the pattern is grim. From Saturday the 25th right through the weekend, we've got a fresh to moderate NNW wind blasting across the beach. It's mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and with the swell sitting around 4 ft to 5 ft from the NW, it's choppy and messy. The combined wave energy is moderate (around 242 on Saturday arvo), but the wind is just ruining any chance of a decent wave. Don't bother paddling out this weekend – it's a write-off.

Monday the 27th morning offers the first real glimmer of hope. The wind goes glassy, swinging ENE at only 3 mph. The swell drops to 4 ft from the NW, with a short 7-second period, but the clean surface means you might get a few crumbly ones. The energy is weak (142). It's not gonna be epic, but it's surfable after the weekend's shocker. Monday arvo the wind shifts west though, and it gets messy again.

We then hit another gap. Tuesday the 28th through to late in the week is a mix of cross-onshore breezes and very small, weak swell. Don't expect much. There are a few glassy moments – Wednesday the 29th morning is dead calm, and Thursday the 30th arvo is glassy – but the swell is tiny (1 ft to 2 ft). It's just not worth getting wet for.

Finally, we get to the standout. Friday the 31st of July afternoon is your best bet. The wind goes glassy from the NW, and the swell pushes up to 3 ft from the WNW, with a period stretching to 10 seconds. The energy bumps up to a moderate 217, and the report says it's "good surf conditions." That's the real talk right there. It'll be clean, with a bit more push than we've seen all week, and the longer period will help the waves shape up better on the bank. Keep in mind, the optimum swell direction for Figueiros is west, and this WNW is close enough to get some nice lines in.

Into the first week of August, it's back to the grind. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd get chopped up by NNW winds and building, short-period NW swell that just looks ragged. The energy gets up there (350 on Sunday arvo), but with a 16 mph onshore wind, it's a messy, blown-out washing machine. By the 8th and 9th, the swell fades right out, barely scraping 2 ft with cross-off winds. It’s a quiet end to the outlook. Stick to that Friday the 31st.

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.
