The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for the next fortnight at Figuera. This spot is an exposed, consistent intermediate-level break, and it's got a solid run of action coming through.
The water's sitting at a warm 73°F with an anomaly of 2°F, so it's a touch toastier than the long-term average for this time of year – nothing wild, but definitely pleasant.
The first real standout is Wednesday morning, the 12th of August. We've got a solid 8ft southerly swell, with a period of 12 seconds pumping in. The combined energy is a strong 1543, so there's plenty of grunt in the water. The kicker is a gentle offshore easterly breeze, making for clean, lined-up waves. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, so if you've got the skills, this is your window.
The pattern holds through Thursday, the 13th of August, with similar size southerly swell and clean conditions. Keep an eye on Thursday afternoon – the swell period jumps to 14 seconds, and the energy spikes to 1744, offering some extra punchy sets.
Friday, the 14th of August, is a write-off with onshore winds and poor surf, so give it a miss. The weekend picks back up, with Saturday morning, the 15th of August, offering another solid 8ft southeast swell under moderate offshore easterly winds for clean conditions. The energy is a beefy 1957.
From Sunday the 16th of August, the swell drops off significantly, and we hit a flat spell. Strong offshore winds make paddling tough, and the waves are small and messy. This quiet period stretches through to the middle of the following week.
The next true standout appears on Monday the 24th of August. The afternoon session looks excellent: a 7ft south-southwest swell with a 13-second period, combined energy of 1224, and clean conditions with a cross-off breeze. That's a beautiful window for experienced surfers.
Looking further out, Tuesday the 25th of August shows a massive spike in energy, hitting 3828, but the cross-on wind and chop make it messy. Wednesday the 26th of August, though, is a gem. The morning session has a 7ft swell from the south, a 13-second period, and glassy conditions with a light NNE breeze. It's excellent surf for experienced surfers.
Overall, the best bets are the mornings of the 12th, 15th, and 26th of August. The runs in between have some good options, but those are your standouts. The second week is a bit more of a gamble, but the 26th looks promising.
Stay safe out there.
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.
