The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the coming days.
We're looking at a pretty quiet start, to be honest. The first real chance of a wave at Figuera doesn't come until Tuesday the 21st of July, and even then, it's a slow one. The week ahead is all about small, weak swells. The energy is low, sitting around 100-150 (weak to moderate), and the wind is mostly offshore, which is a silver lining, but the surf is just too small to get excited about. For a spot that's exposed to the south, we're seeing a lot of east windswell.
Things start to look a bit more promising heading into the weekend. The standout window is the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. We've got a pulse of south swell rolling in at 4ft, with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the east at 12 mph. The combined energy jumps up to 355 (moderate), and the call is for good surf conditions. That's your best bet for a proper session in the first week.
Then, the following week has a couple of interesting mornings. On Monday the 27th, the swell builds with a lot of energy—505 to 565 (strong)—but the wind is onshore from the west, so it's no good. The real gem is the morning of Tuesday the 28th of July. We've got a solid 3ft south groundswell, with a long period of 13 seconds, and the wind is glassy. The energy is 438 (strong). That's a prime setup for Figuera, with clean, glassy conditions and a long-period swell that will wrap in nicely. That's the standout of the entire outlook, but it's over a week away, so keep an eye on the forecast.
The second week is a bit more mixed. The morning of Wednesday the 29th sees a bump in east swell to 4ft at 8 seconds, but the wind is cross-offshore. The energy is moderate at 217. It's surfable, but nothing special. Overall, there's a decent gap of no real surf from the start until the 21st, and then a few small windows before the good stuff on the 25th and 28th.
Rusty out.

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.
