The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days at Figueiros are a tough watch. There’s a long, frustrating gap at the start because the surf just isn't there. We’re looking at a solid run of "poor surf conditions" from the first of August all the way through to the 15th. That’s a full two weeks of onshore junk and tiny, weak swell. Don’t get your hopes up for anything rideable until the very end of the forecast.
The only real chance to get wet comes on the morning of Sunday, the 16th of August. Even then, it’s only a marginal call. The swell is bumping up to 5 ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a short-period, wind-driven swell, so it’ll be a bit soft and crumbly. The energy is picking up, hitting 325 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is a cross-offshore from the North at just 3 mph. That light breeze is actually the best news we’ve seen in weeks – it’ll keep the surface reasonably clean with just small wind ripples. It’s not a stand-out, but it’s the only window.
Given the persistent cross-onshore and onshore winds that have been hammering this exposed beach break, and the fact that the swell is mostly short-period and messy, this setup honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a regular paddle surfer through most of the period. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report.
So, if you’re desperate, that Sunday morning is your best bet. But keep the expectations low. It’s been a grim run, and while it tends not to stay this poor forever, this is a blank spell that’s pretty normal for the area in these conditions.
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.
