The Lowdown
Alright, let's get a look at Figuera here in the Canaries. It's been a quiet start, but there's some proper juice coming down the line.
Water temp is about 22°, which is just what you'd expect for this time of year. No surprises there.
Right off the bat, from the 20th through the 23rd, it's pretty grim. We're looking at small, weak windswell, 1.0m to 1.1m from the East, with a short period of 7-8 seconds. The energy is limp (145-152). Even with clean offshore winds, there's just nothing to ride. Don't bother.
The first real sign of life is on the 25th of July. Saturday afternoon, the wind goes glassy, and the swell, though still small at 1.2m from the South, has a bit more guts. The energy jumps up (290), and it's the first time we see "good surf conditions." It'll be a fun, clean afternoon.
But the real highlight is the 27th of July. Monday is the pick of the first week. Both the morning and afternoon at Figuera are looking solid. A clean 1.1m to 1.0m swell from the South and South-Southwest, with a nice 11-12 second period. The energy is strong (395 and 322), and the wind is a clean offshore. That's a proper session. The 28th is also a good shout, with a bit more size at 1.3m and similar clean conditions.
Now, for the big one. The 31st of July. Friday morning is glassy, and by the afternoon, a gentle offshore wind is grooming a 1.4m to 1.5m South swell with a long period of 12-13 seconds. The energy is high (640-628). This is quality, clean, groundswell. This is the day to circle.
The 1st of August is a bit of a wildcard. There's a very long-period swell from the South-Southeast (17 seconds), but it's only 0.6m to 0.8m. The wind is a screaming 40 km/h offshore. That's going to be a battle to catch anything, and the long period might make it a bit fat at the beach. It's a tough one for the experts only.
The 3rd of August offers a 1.5m East swell, but it's a short-period 8 seconds. The morning is clean with a gentle offshore, so it'll be surfable, but it's not the quality of that 31st July.
So, to sum it up: the 27th of July is a great call, but the 31st of July is the absolute standout. That's the one you want to be on. The early August swell is a question mark, but the 31st is a lock.

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.
