The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got cooking.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a slow start. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions at Figueiros to work through. For over a week, from Sunday the 9th right through to the 16th, it's a write-off. Onshore winds, messy, choppy... just not worth paddling out. You’re looking at a solid 8-day gap before anything decent shows its face.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 17th. The morning is looking glassy with a light WSW breeze at 3 mph. The swell is a clean 6 ft from the NW with a 9-second period. The combined wave energy is strong at 468. That morning session is your best bet for the entire forecast period. It’s a standout. Just keep in mind the water is running much colder than usual for this time of year at 66 °F, a full 5 °F cooler. The swell is a solid size, more for the intermediate to experienced surfer, and the NW direction isn't the optimum W, but when it's that clean and glassy, you don't say no.
Tuesday the 18th keeps things interesting. Morning and afternoon both have clean, cross-offshore winds from the SSE and SSW. Swell drops a touch to 5 ft in the morning, still from the NNW. It’s a bit more manageable. The energy is still solid at 383. Good, clean waves to be had.
Wednesday the 19th is surfable but ordinary. Swell drops right back to 3 ft in the morning. The winds are clean, but the energy is weak at 146. Not a day to get excited about.
Thursday the 20th sees the swell bump back up to 6 ft with a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the S. The energy is strong again at 346. A solid, clean option for the morning.
After that, from Friday the 21st onwards, we start to see the wind turn a little cross-onshore and the conditions get marginal. The swell sticks around at 5-6 ft, but it loses that pristine quality. It’s not terrible, but it’s not going to beat that glassy Monday morning.
So, to sum it up: wait it out through the first week. Your target is Monday morning the 17th for the cleanest, best quality waves of the whole run. Get it while it's glassy.
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.
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.
