The Lowdown
Listen up, mate. We’re looking at Figuera for the coming weeks, and it’s a mixed bag.
Friday morning, August 28th, is where we get started. A clean 4ft south swell, offshore wind from the ENE, and the ocean’s got 562 moderate energy. Water temp is normal for the season. That’s your best early session – clean, good shape, plenty of fun. The afternoon holds but drops off a bit in size.
Saturday and Sunday shift to an easterly swell, shorter period – around 7 or 8 seconds – so the waves are weaker and more crumbly. Sunday morning is okay with a light offshore, but it’s not setting the world on fire.
Then the wheels fall off. From Monday afternoon right through Wednesday, it turns ugly. By Wednesday, September 2nd, a 12ft SSW swell hits with nasty onshore wind and 3798 strong energy. That’s blown out and lumpy – honestly, you’d be better off on a kite than a paddle board.
But there’s a gem. Thursday morning, September 3rd: offshore ENE breeze, a clean 7ft SSW groundswell, 11-second period, and 1128 strong energy. That’s a big, powerful wave for experienced surfers only. If you know what you’re doing, that’s the day.
The rest of the second week is patchy. A few clean, small days – like Tuesday the 8th with glassy conditions and a 3ft east swell, or Friday the 11th afternoon with light wind and 3ft SSW swell – but nothing that’ll get your heart racing. The energy is weak to moderate, and there are several days of mediocrity between the good stuff.
So, to make it easy: Thursday September 3rd morning is your standout. Big, clean, and all for the experts. The rest of the window is either small and clean or big and a mess.

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.
