Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down Figuera.
First few days are nothing special. Thursday morning has tiny 2ft swell from the SSW, 10 second period, light NNE cross-off breeze. Clean but weak – combined energy is only 158. Thursday afternoon bumps to 2ft, still clean but small. Friday morning stays small at 2ft from the east, clean with a light N breeze. Friday afternoon goes ugly with strong onshore wind. Skip it.
Saturday the 4th brings 5ft SSW swell, but onshore wind and lumpy conditions. Sunday the 5th gets bigger – 8ft to 8ft SSW, but it’s chopped up with cross-onshore wind and combined energy from 1528 to 1758. That’s a messy, powerful windswell setup for a beach – better for kites than paddles.
Monday the 6th morning is still messy, but Monday afternoon is the standout of the first week. Swell drops to 3ft from the south, but the period jumps to 19 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. Combined energy is 1179, moderate but punchy. Wind is light easterly cross-off, clean. This long-period S swell will love Figuera’s exposure. Excellent waves for experienced surfers.
Tuesday the 7th stays clean with 3ft S swell, 16 second period, light offshore wind in the afternoon. Nice but smaller. Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th are blown out with onshore wind.
Friday the 10th afternoon is another good one: 5ft SSW swell, 10 second period, combined energy 535, clean easterly cross-off breeze. Very good, clean surf.
Second week heats up. Wednesday July 15th morning: 8ft S swell, 12 second period, combined energy 1960 – strong. Wind is NE cross-off, clean. That’s big, powerful, clean – only for experts. Wednesday afternoon is even better: 8ft SSE swell, 12 second period, 1390 energy, moderate offshore ENE breeze. Excellent for experienced surfers.
Thursday July 16th keeps the quality: 6ft to 6ft SSE swell, 12 to 13 second periods, clean with offshore winds. Combined energy around 1063 to 1083. Solid, clean, powerful surf.
Water temp is 73°F, about average for the time of year.
For a beach break, the long period groundswells (over 15 seconds) like Monday the 6th will have longer lulls and can break a bit straight, but still offer good shape if you pick your spot. The bigger swells over 8ft are strictly for experts.
Best bets: Monday afternoon July 6th and Wednesday afternoon July 15th through Thursday July 16th.

Information about the Figuera Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Figuera provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Figuera can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Figuera 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 (Figuera) 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 Figuera 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.
