The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Figuera is offering over the next couple of weeks. Don’t bother rushing down just yet—there’s a solid stretch of nothing happening at the start.
We’re looking at a gap with no real recommendations through the end of July and into early August. The first few days are a mess—cross-onshore winds and choppy junk. Monday the 27th of July cleans up a little with a moderate offshore wind, but the swell is only 3ft from the south with an 11-second period. It’s surfable but nothing special. That weak, clean pattern (wave energy around 267) sticks around for a few days.
The first real standout is Friday the 31st of July. Morning is dead glassy with a 4ft south swell, period 10 seconds. Then the afternoon gets even better—offshore wind from the east, swell bumps to 4ft, and the energy jumps to 415. That’s your best bet in the first week. Clean, lined-up, and fun for intermediate surfers. Expect some company though.
Another big day to circle is Tuesday the 4th of August. After a questionable morning tide, the afternoon kicks in with a 5ft south swell and a 12-second period. The combined energy hits 727—that’s serious power for Figuera. Winds are offshore from the ENE, so the waves will be clean and punchy. This one’s for the experienced crew; 5ft is getting too big for beginners. The water temp is 22°, pretty normal for this time of year.
Later on, Saturday the 8th of August morning offers another glassy window with a 4ft east swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so expect fat, close-out sections.
Bottom line: the best surf in this 16-day window is the Friday 31st July afternoon and the Tuesday 4th August afternoon. Good swell, clean wind, real energy. Don’t waste time on the early flat spell.
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.
Figuera is 13 km (8 miles) from Sao Pedro da Aldeia. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sao Pedro da Aldeia. Sao Pedro da Aldeia has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
