Figueiros Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Figueiros over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with ya – it’s a tough stretch. Most days are lookin’ pretty average, with the wind just not playin’ ball. The water’s sittin’ at 66°, which is a bit colder than we usually get this time of year, so you might wanna grab that extra layer.

We’ve got no real surf to speak of for the first few days, with Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th just plain messy – onshore winds and choppy junk. You’d be better off savin’ the wax.

Monday the 27th morning is where we finally see a little window. Swell’s only 4 ft from the NW, period’s a short 7 seconds, so not a lot of grunt, but the wind goes light offshore from the ESE. Combined energy is moderate (156), and it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s pretty ordinary. You’ll get a wave, but don’t expect any gems. Crowds can show up sometimes here. The afternoon goes light cross-shore, droppin’ to 3 ft – not worth paddlin’ out.

After that, we slide into a real flat spell. Tuesday the 28th through to Friday the 1st of August is a whole lot of nothin’. Small, weak swell, dodgy cross-onshore breezes, and energy readings droppin’ as low as 59. Just a big gap of poor conditions. You won’t miss a thing by stayin’ home.

Now, Saturday the 1st of August morning has a bit of hope. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the NW, still a short 7-second period, but the wind goes dead glassy. That’s a major positive – clean surface. Combined energy is moderate (179). Conditions are still “very ordinary” in the data, so it’s not gonna be epic, but if you’re jonesin’, that’s your best early bet. Sunday the 2nd afternoon also goes glassy with 3 ft from the NNW, but again, it’s just okay.

The rest of the first week of August into the second week is a write-off. Winds stay cross-onshore or onshore, the swell gets small and junky. There’s a bit of a bump around Friday the 7th morning with 4 ft from the WNW and a longer 10-second period – combined energy jumps to 344 – but the wind’s cross-onshore and it’s only rated as marginal. Saturday the 8th has 5 ft from the NW, but again, onshore wind ruining it.

The biggest swell of the whole run shows up on Sunday the 9th of August: 7 ft–7 ft from the NNW, period 8–9 seconds, with strong combined energy (522–699). But here’s the kicker – the wind is howlin’ cross-onshore or onshore at 16 mph. That’s gonna be messy, choppy, and frankly, more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. Not one for the average surfer.

To wrap it up: there’s no real standout session here. If I had to pick the least-crummy window, it’s the glassy mornings of Saturday the 1st of August and Sunday the 2nd of August. They’re clean, but the swell’s weak and short-period. Don’t get your hopes up too high for the long-range stuff.

Rusty.
