The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for Figueiros over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, things are pretty grim. There’s a bit of swell showing but the wind is just trashing it. Sunday morning, September 6th, you’ve got a 4ft swell from the NW with a 12-second period, but a cross-on NNW breeze is making it choppy and messy. The water is sitting at 66° which is 5° colder than normal for this time of year, so it’s a bit nippy. The combined swell energy is moderate at 440, but the conditions are so poor you’d be wasting your time. That trend continues all the way through to Thursday the 10th, with onshore and cross-on winds, and the swell bouncing between 2ft and 5ft but always blown out.
There’s a gap here of nearly a week with nothing worth paddling out for.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Friday morning, September 11th. The wind swings around to the ESE at just 3 mph, going glassy. The swell is 4ft from the NNW with a 9-second period, and combined energy is 220 (moderate). This is clean, glassy surf, and the best on offer in the whole run. It’s a beginner-friendly break, very consistent, and the optimum swell direction is from the W but this NW swell will still produce something rideable. It’s the standout session of the forecast.
After that, Saturday the 12th drops off into tiny, weak surf, and Sunday the 13th has a glassy morning but only 2ft waves, so it’s small and weak. The rest of the second week is more of the same: small to moderate NW swells, mostly blown out by cross-on winds. However, keep an eye on Sunday, September 20th. The morning is flat calm, glassy conditions, with a 4ft NW swell, 10-second period, and moderate energy at 220. That’s another clean window. Then Monday, September 21st morning, a tiny 2ft swell but with a long 12-second period, glassy conditions, and a clean cross-off wind in the afternoon – that could surprise if the tide lines up.
Overall, there are only a couple of decent windows, and they’re both on mornings with glassy conditions. The rest is a write-off thanks to persistent onshore wind.
Stay patient, get out there on the 11th or the 20th.
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.
