Figuera Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board, let’s take a look at what’s coming up over the next couple of weeks at Figuera. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag here, so let’s get into it.

The week kicks off with a bit of a tease this Friday morning, July 10. The ocean’s got some life with a clean 2.6ft swell from the SE, period around 14 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze. The water’s sitting at a normal 72.7° for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate at 480, so it’s not pumping but there’s enough there for a few fun ones. Honestly, the tide might mess with it a little, but it’s worth a look. By Friday afternoon, the wind swings fully offshore from the E at 6 mph, and the swell bumps up just a touch to 3.3ft, still from the SE with a 13-second period. This is a solid window for a session – clean, decent shape, and the kind of conditions that make you want to call in sick.

Saturday, July 11, is a bit of a tease. Morning starts with a light cross-onshore breeze that’ll ruffle the surface a little on that 3.6ft swell. It’s not terrible, but it’s not glassy. The afternoon cleans up nicely though, with a cross-offshore wind from the ESE at 9 mph. The swell holds steady at 3.6ft from the SE, and the energy is still moderate at 454. That afternoon slot is your best bet for a fun, clean surf on Saturday.

Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th are a write-off. Strong onshore winds and rising swell just turn the place into a messy, lumpy mess. By Monday, it’s a proper 8.2ft of confused SSW windswell with 16 mph onshores. That’s expert-only territory, and even then it’s ugly. The combined energy spikes up hard to 1363, but without any quality, it’s just raw power with no finesse.

Tuesday the 14th is still chunky at 6.6ft from the S, but the wind goes light and cross-shore in the afternoon. The tide might be the decider – it’s marginal, but if you’re desperate and know the bank, there could be a few heavy ones.

Now, Wednesday July 15 is where we get a standout. The morning is clear, the wind is a clean offshore from the NE at 16 mph, and the swell is a nice, solid 6.2ft from the SSE with an 11-second period. The combined energy is pushing 994 – that’s strong, powerful, and those offshore winds will carve it up. This is the pick of the first week. The swell is a bit much for beginners, but for an intermediate or above, it’s going to be firing. You’ll want to be on it early. The afternoon holds similar size with a fresh offshore breeze, but the energy is even higher at 1039. It’s clean, it’s punchy, and it’s going to be a long session if you’re smart.

Thursday the 16th, the wind cranks up hard – 25 mph offshore. The swell drops to 5.2ft, but that wind is so strong it’s going to make paddling out a proper workout. The waves will be clean but hard to get into. Ideal for the experienced crew who can handle a battle.

From Friday the 17th through to Tuesday the 21st, the surf steadily fades. The swell drops below 3.3ft, the wind stays fresh offshore, and the energy falls away. It’s a long, quiet spell for a few days there. You’ll be chasing knee-high dribblers, if anything.

Then, out of nowhere, Wednesday July 22 shows a glimmer. The afternoon brings a 4.6ft swell from the E, short period at 8 seconds, but a moderate offshore breeze cleans it up. The energy jumps to 360. It’s not the best, but it’s a sign of life.

Now, July 23 is the real sleeper hit. Thursday morning is nearly glassy – wind from the N at just 3 mph – and there’s a 2.6ft swell from the SSW, period 9 seconds. Combined energy is 217, so it’s weak, but that glassy surface will make it look like a mirror. For a longboard or a funboard, that’s a dream. Then the afternoon sees a bigger 5.9ft swell from the SW, short period at 6 seconds, but the wind is light and cross-offshore. It’s a bit wind-affected, but still worth a paddle.

Looking further out to July 24 and 25, we see a pulse of bigger groundswell. Friday the 24th has 4.9ft to 5.6ft from the SSW, with a long 12-13 second period, and
