The Lowdown

Right, let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks. The overall picture is a bit of a mixed bag, with a solid window of proper surf to kick things off, then a long stretch of small and unappealing conditions before a possible return of some energy later in the window.

The standout session is the morning of Wednesday, July 15th. The swell is a solid 5 ft from the SSE, with a proper 10-second period pushing a good amount of energy ashore (622). The wind is a gentle offshore breeze, keeping things clean. This is your best bet for a cracking session, with some real grunt in the waves. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird going on there.

That afternoon, the wind picks up and the quality drops, so don't expect the same magic.

Thursday the 16th sees the swell drop a little, but the wind is howling. The morning is cross-off at 22 mph, which is messy, and the afternoon is a strong offshore that will be a nightmare to paddle into. Friday and Saturday are the same story – small, gutless, and blown out. The combined energy drops right off, hitting the 100s and even down into double digits by Sunday the 19th. From the afternoon of the 18th right through to the morning of the 24th, the surf is basically flat or tiny. The swell is under 3 ft and the energy is pitiful, with a few weak pulses of very long-period groundswell that won't do anything for the beach breaks here. It's a proper dead spell.

We get a little flicker of life on the morning of Friday, July 24th. A new SSW swell of 3 ft with an 11-second period shows up, and the energy bumps up to 211. The morning has clean conditions with a gentle breeze. It's not big, but it's a far better prospect than the preceding week. The afternoon is even better for energy at 289, with a moderate offshore wind keeping things tidy.

After that, it gets messy again. The 26th of July has a bigger pulse of swell from the south, with 4 ft to 5 ft and some serious energy (682-691), but the wind is onshore and cross-shore with rain, turning it into a chop-fest. The 27th and 28th have some potential with cleaner conditions and a 4 ft to 4 ft S swell, but the wind is moderate to strong, so it's a marginal call. The 29th sees a jump in size to 5 ft, but it's a short-period windswell from the E that will be messy, especially with a strong breeze.

So, bottom line: get out there on Wednesday morning, July 15th. That's the one. The rest of the week is a write-off, and the second week is a gamble on a few clean but small windows. The bigger swell on the 26th is a kite-surfing proposition, not a paddle one.

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.

Figuera is 13 km (8 miles) from Sao Pedro da Aldeia. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sao Pedro da Aldeia. Sao Pedro da Aldeia has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
