The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, the first week or so is a bit of a struggle. We’re looking at a lot of small, junky waves with onshore or cross-onshore winds messing up the face. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate at best, and the conditions just aren’t coming together for a proper session. You’ll have to be patient.
The first real light at the end of the tunnel shows up on Thursday the 10th, in the morning. The wind goes glassy, which is a huge deal, and we get a small 4ft swell out of the NNW. The period is short at 6 seconds, so it won’t have much push, but the combined energy is a modest 200. It’ll be clean, but you’ll be working for it.
However, the real standout window is a couple of days later. Sunday the 13th, the morning session at Figueiros is worth setting the alarm for. The wind is glassy again, just perfect, and the swell is a tiny 2ft, but hold on – the period is a very long 16 seconds. That’s pure groundswell energy, and for a spot like this that’s exposed to the W, that long period will wrap in with surprising shape. The combined energy gets up to 255. It’s small, but it will be clean, lined-up, and fun for a log or a fish.
The absolute best of the whole forecast, though, is Monday the 14th morning. Again, glassy conditions, and this time the swell jumps to 4ft out of the NW with a solid 12-second period. The combined energy is a healthy 396. This is the one to circle. Clean, offshore wind, a decent-sized swell with good period, and likely just a few out. Figueiros (Portugal) will be at its best.
Beyond that, the second week gets a bit sketchy again with the wind turning onshore and the swell getting lumpy. So make the most of that Thursday the 10th, Sunday the 13th, and definitely that Monday the 14th morning.
Keep your eyes on the horizon, it’s not all flat out there.

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.
