Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the Figuera area over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, this isn't a stellar window. We've got some solid swell pulses coming through, but the wind’s going to be a fickle beast. The first few days are pretty average, with a lot of cross-onshore junk messing things up. The water temp here is sitting at 73°, which is pretty darn normal for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Things start looking up a bit around Wednesday the 13th of July. That afternoon, we get a pulse of 5ft S swell with a 12-second period and the wind goes totally glassy. That's a proper combo – the combined energy is a solid 859 (moderate wave energy). This is the standout session of the whole forecast, no doubt about it. It’s gonna be clean, fun, and uncrowded for a change.
After that brief moment of glory, it gets a bit messy again with some lumpy cross-shore stuff. But keep your eyes peeled for Thursday the 16th of July. That morning has a 5ft SSW groundswell at 11 seconds, with a moderate offshore from the NE. The energy is at 722 and the rating is high, so that’s another excellent window for Figuera. It’s a consistent spot, so you’ll get plenty of waves.
The end of the week and the second weekend look… interesting. We get strong offshore winds, but man, those winds get strong. From Friday the 17th right through to the end of the period, we're looking at 21 to 28 mph offshore breezes. While it’s clean, the paddle-out is going to be a mission, and the waves will be super fast and a bit tricky. The Saturday the 18th afternoon looks promising, with a 4ft SSE swell and a slight offshore, but the crowd factor might be a thing as it’s a well-known spot. After that, it's mostly poor surf conditions with strong winds and short-period, wind-affected swell. The energy drops off a cliff too, down into the 170-250 range (weak wave energy). There’s a real dry spell from the 20th onwards, with nothing worth paddling out for. But hey, the forecasts can change.
So, if you’re looking for a paddle, lock in Wednesday the 13th afternoon and Thursday the 16th morning for the best chance of a proper session at Figuera. The rest is mostly for the die-hards.
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.
