Figuera Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Figuera. Let’s cut through the noise and get straight to what matters.

First up, the water temp is sitting at a comfortable 73°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year. No surprises there.

The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag to be honest. We’ve got a slow start, with Tuesday and Wednesday looking pretty grim. Strong onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions are a write-off, so you’re not missing much. Then Thursday morning (3rd September) is where things start to get interesting. The swell is clean, 6 ft from the S with a period of 10 seconds, and a nice NE offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (709), so there’s some push. That Thursday morning is genuinely looking like the first proper session, with clean, offshore lines. The wind holds offshore through the afternoon, but it gets strong at 25 mph, which makes paddling out a real mission. Stick to the morning.

Friday (4th September) is a bit smaller, around 3 ft from the SSE, but still clean with a long 11-second period. That’s groundswell, and it’ll offer some nice, lined-up waves. The energy is moderate (343). It’s not a standout, but a solid, fun day.

The real highlight, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Monday the 7th of September. The morning kicks off with a solid 8 ft from the SSW, a 9-second period, and clean conditions with a light SE cross-off breeze. The combined energy is strong (749). This is a proper swell. The afternoon holds that size and period, but the wind shifts to a light cross-shore, so it’s not quite as glassy. Still, this is easily the best on offer. That 8 ft is getting into the intermediate-to-expert range, so it’s not for the groms.

Tuesday the 8th is also a cracker, with 6 ft from the S, a 10-second period, and glassy conditions in the morning. Light winds, clean lines – that’s a dream. The energy is strong (716).

After that, from the 9th through to the 15th, the consistency drops off. The wind gets messy again, the swell directions shift, and the quality fades. There’s a few marginal days with clean looks but weaker energy, like Saturday the 12th, but nothing that’ll get you out of bed early.

The very end of the forecast window, on Wednesday the 16th of September, offers a return to clean, offshore conditions with a 4 ft E swell and a 10-second period. The energy is moderate (410). It’s a nice little finisher, but it’s a long way off yet.

So, to sum it up: the first real standout is Thursday morning (3rd September), but the absolute best of the bunch is Monday the 7th of September. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. The break is consistent, and while it can get crowded sometimes, on a day like that, who cares? Get out there.

Rusty.
