Figuera Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down Figuera.

If you're lookin' for a wave right now, you’re out of luck. The first week is a struggle. We’ve got small swells and the wind’s too punchy to make 'em clean. Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are flat and weak – not worth wettin' the suit. Tuesday the 4th picks up a touch with waist-chest high easterly swell, but the energy is still weak (196 to 223 combined energy) and the offshore wind is blowin’ a fresh 30 km/h. It’s clean, but it's got no push.

Wednesday the 5th is the first real glimmer. The morning brings 0.9m from the south with a solid 12-second period, and the energy hits a moderate 324. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNE. By the afternoon, it goes glassy with a light offshore from the east at 15 km/h. This is your best shot for a fun wave in the first week – clean, lined up, but not big. Don’t expect a monster.

The rest of that week is a bust. Small, weak, and messy. There’s a long stretch of nothing until the second week.

Now, Monday the 10th, the ocean wakes up. We’ve got a solid 2.5m to 2.3m SSW swell with a 12-second period and strong energy (1874). The wind is a clean cross-off from the east. It’s a big step up, but it’s pushin’ past the beginner zone. The real standout, though, is Tuesday the 11th. You’re lookin’ at a pumping 3.0m SSW swell with a 13-to-14-second period, and the energy is massive (3101). The wind stays favourable, clean and offshore. This is for experts only – it’s too meaty for most. The wave quality is top notch for those who can handle it.

Wednesday the 12th is still strong at 2.4m, but the wind stays clean, and by the afternoon with a light 10 km/h ESE breeze, it’s excellent for the experienced crew. The energy is still strong (1671). Thursday the 13th drops to 1.8m but holds quality for advanced surfers.

Friday the 14th is a nice reset for everyone else. The swell settles to 1.2m from the SSW with an 11-second period, and the morning wind goes glassy – dead calm. The energy is moderate (422), and the conditions are clean. That’s a solid pick for intermediates on a quiet morning. Crowds are possible, so paddle out early.

From Saturday the 15th, it drops off fast. Small, weak, and the wind kicks back up. Not worth the trip.

Water temp is about normal for the time of year. The big standout is the massive SSW groundswell on the 11th for experts, and the glassy 14th for a mellow session.
