The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, let's have a chat about what's on the cards for Figuera over the next couple of weeks. The next week or so is a bit of a mixed bag, but there's some really solid stuff brewing out there for the end of the period.
Right now, the water is sitting at 72°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. We've got a bit of a wait for the first good session. The start is looking average at best.
Our first real chance to get wet comes on Monday the 14th. The morning sees a clean 4ft S swell, with a moderate ENE offshore wind making for some tidy lines. The wave energy is moderate at 365. It won't be life-changing, but it's a definite goer. The afternoon holds similar size and wind, so you can enjoy a longer session.
Tuesday the 15th is the pick of this early mini-run. The morning is a gem: glassy conditions, not a breath of wind, with a 4ft SSE swell. The energy is still moderate at 368, but that glassy surface makes all the difference. It'll be clean and fun.
Things go a bit quiet and messy for the middle of the week, but it's just the calm before the storm. Thursday the 17th is when it really starts to shape up. The morning has a clean 5ft S swell with a light cross-offshore breeze. This is solid intermediate territory, and the energy is building nicely into the strong range at 752. The afternoon holds the same size and good wind, so you can get on it all day.
Now, looking further ahead, the standout is undeniably Friday the 25th. This is the one we've been waiting for. A powerful 8ft S groundswell with a very long 16-second period will be rolling in. The combined energy is a huge 3147, making for a very strong, powerful ocean. The wind is a moderate offshore from the ENE, so points and reefs are going to be your best bet here, as a long-period S swell like this can tend to close out beach breaks. This is a session for the experienced crew only, as at 8ft it gets serious. A big, clean day for the top dogs.
Before that, the 25th aside, Thursday the 24th afternoon should also be mentioned, as the swell is up at 8ft S with a 13-second period and an energy reading of 2041. It's a bit cross-onshore, so it'll be lumpy, but there's a lot of water moving around for those who want a challenge.
Right, I'll sign off. Keep an eye on that Friday the 25th, lads. Set an alarm.
Rusty.

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.
