G’day, Rusty here, looking at the surf outlook for Figueiros. Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. The whole 16-day run is basically a write-off for decent waves. We’ve got a few small windows of surfable swell, but the wind and conditions are just not playing ball. The first real shot of anything that could be considered a wave comes in on Sunday the 12th, but even then, it’s a struggle.
The standout moment, if you can call it that, is the Sunday morning, July 12th session. The wind goes glassy – that’s a huge positive – and we’ve got a 3ft swell from the WNW. The combined energy is moderate (193), so there’s a bit of push. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s comfortable. Figueiros is a beginner-friendly spot, and it’s very consistent, so it’ll be breaking. But the swell period is only 9 seconds, so it’s a bit of a windswell, not a proper groundswell. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
After that Sunday morning, it’s back to poor conditions. The wind swings cross-onshore or onshore for the rest of the week, and the swell stays small or gets messy. The swell builds a bit in the second week – from July 18th onwards we start seeing 5ft to 6ft from the NNW – but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore breeze, making it lumpy and choppy. The combined energy gets up into the strong range (320-397), but with that wind, it’s not going to be clean. For a beginner spot like Figueiros, anything over 5ft starts to get too big, and with the poor wind, it’s just a messy, frustrating paddle. By the time we get to the end of the period, the swell drops back down and the wind is still howling. There’s no real standout option; the whole run is a blank for quality surf. For a spot that’s usually very consistent, this is a tough run, but forecasts can change.
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.
