The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Figuera’s got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s gonna be a slow start. The first few days are looking pretty flat and weak with poor conditions, so don’t bother paddling out until we get past the middle of next week. The real story starts to build from Sunday the 23rd onwards.
We’ve got a bit of a pulse coming in on Sunday morning, the 23rd of August. The swell picks up to 5 feet out of the SSW with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind goes glassy offshore from the east at just 3 mph. Combined energy is moderate (398). It’s looking clean and promising for a morning session, but the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions” so don’t expect perfection. Still, that’s the best we’ve seen so far.
The real standout, and the one you want to circle in your calendar, is Tuesday the 25th of August. The morning gets a bit hefty with a solid 10 feet of swell from the south, but that’s too big for this break and the file says it’s too big. The afternoon though… that’s the sweet spot. We’re looking at 8 feet from the south, a 14-second period groundswell, and offshore winds from the east at 15 mph. The combined energy is very strong (2570). This is a proper swell for experienced surfers only. The water temp is sitting at a comfortable 72.1°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
After that, Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th will still have some solid, clean swell in the 5 to 6 foot range from the south with offshore winds, but the energy starts to drop off. Still good for a session, but not as punchy as Tuesday.
By Friday the 28th, it fades back to tiny, weak dribble, and then we’re into a long flat spell that stretches all the way to the end of the month and into September. There’s a tiny glassy window on Sunday the 30th, but it’s only 2 feet and weak, not really worth the effort.
So, bottom line: the best of the best is Tuesday afternoon, the 25th of August, at Figuera. That’s the one. Get on it if you can handle the size.

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.
