Figuera Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for Figuera. We’re gonna have a slow start, but things are looking up if you’re patient.

First thing to note, there’s nothing to get excited about until Saturday the 25th of July. The start of the period is flat with poor surf conditions. So, don’t even bother waxing up until then.

Saturday the 25th of July is when we finally get a pulse. The swell comes in at 3.6ft from the south, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate (261). The morning has a clean, cross-offshore breeze, which is a major positive. The afternoon gets even better with glassy conditions. This is a solid, fun option for intermediate surfers. The crowd factor is "sometimes", so you might have a few friends out, but the conditions will be worth it.

Then Sunday the 26th of July sees a longer period swell from the south at 14 seconds, kicking up the energy to a strong 466. The swell is 3.0ft in the morning, building to 3.6ft in the afternoon. The problem is the wind. A morning onshore blows it out, and the afternoon is a light cross-shore with some chop. It’s a bit of a shame, because that long period has real potential, but the wind is fighting us.

Monday the 27th of July is a better call. The morning is a bit marginal with a moderate cross-offshore breeze, but the afternoon is a standout: clean, moderate offshore wind from the ENE at 12 mph, with 3.0ft south swell at 11 seconds. The energy is moderate (240). This is a very clean, fun session.

The next few days hold small, clean waves. Tuesday and Wednesday (28th-29th) have waist-high, clean conditions, but the energy is dropping. The standout mid-week is Wednesday the 29th of July morning with glassy conditions and a 2.0ft south swell at 12 seconds. It’s small, but it’s clean.

We hit a bit of a gap again from Thursday the 30th of July through to the end of the month. The swell gets small and the wind gets messy. Not worth a trip.

Now, for the real standouts in the second week. On Sunday the 2nd of August, the morning is magic. A 2.3ft south swell with a very long period of 14 seconds, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (235). This is a long-period groundswell, so it’s going to be clean and lined up, making it a top pick for the week.

But the absolute best of the period is Monday the 3rd of August. The morning delivers a clean 4.6ft south-southwest swell at 13 seconds, with a very strong energy of 869. The wind is light offshore from the NE. This is an excellent session for intermediate surfers. The afternoon gets bigger, with a 5.9ft south swell at 16 seconds, but the wind goes cross-shore, which makes it a bit less clean. The energy on that afternoon is a massive 2739, showing a very strong, powerful swell. That’s a big, powerful groundswell that’s going to be a handful.

The end of the period cools down, but there’s a final highlight on Wednesday the 5th of August. The morning has a clean 5.6ft south-southeast swell at 13 seconds, with a cross-offshore breeze. The energy is strong (980). The afternoon is similar with a clean 5.2ft swell. This is a solid, clean option for the more experienced crew.

So, for the best on offer, the absolute standout is the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. Clean, strong, and a good size. The second best is the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August for that long period cleanliness. The rest is a mixed bag of small clean days and wind-affected swells.

Stay safe out there, and keep an eye on the sky.
