The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Figuera has in store for us over this 16-day stretch.
We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, but it’s not all plain sailing. The first real action kicks off on Thursday the 10th with a glassy afternoon. This is a consistent spot, so it generally doesn’t stay flat for long. The water temp is sitting at 73°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing weird going on there.
Forget the scrappy weekend. Saturday the 12th is a write-off with onshore junk and Sunday morning is only marginal. You’re better off waiting. The standout window starts on Thursday afternoon the 10th itself. Figuera picks up a clean 4ft southerly swell with a long 12-second period, winds are glassy from the ESE, and the combined energy is moderate (507). It’ll be clean, lined up, and crowd-wise you might see a few people out, but nothing crazy. That’s your best early call.
Friday the 11th keeps the quality high – clear skies, offshore winds from the east, and a consistent 4ft southerly swell (764 energy). It’s a morning mission for sure.
Now, if you’re an experienced surfer, don’t sleep on Thursday the 24th of September. That’s a long way out, so take it with a pinch of salt, but the data’s showing a cracking 7ft southerly groundswell with a period of 12 seconds and very light offshore winds (ENE at 3 mph). The combined energy is pumping at 1272, which is strong. This is a solid step up in size and power, so it’s one for the crew who know what they’re doing. The only downside is crowds are sometimes an issue here, but at that size, it might thin the pack out a bit.
The week before that, from the 17th onwards, there’s plenty of fun size, but the winds get a bit fresh. The afternoon of the 17th sees a clean 6ft southerly swell with 933 energy and cross-off winds – that’s a ripper session for a confident surfer.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, the absolute highlight is that Thursday the 24th. Big, clean, powerful southerly groundswell. It’s the one to circle on the calendar.
Right then, I’m out.

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.
