The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty again. Here’s the same look in feet and miles per hour.
We’ve got a solid run of size starting tomorrow at Figuera, but you’ve got to read the wind right. Water temp is 74°, running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Monday, 10 August is a dud. The swell is chest to head-high from the SSW, but that south wind is cross and bumpy. Moderate energy (1430) but the waves are messy. Monday afternoon gets even bigger and uglier.
Tuesday, 11 August is where we get going. Morning has 8ft S swell at 13 seconds, wind goes cross-off from the SSE, cleaning it up. Wave energy is strong (2191). Good for experienced surfers. But the real standout is Tuesday afternoon: 10ft S swell, very strong energy (2922), light cross-off from the SE. That’s big, clean, and powerful – expert only, but easily the best in the whole 16 days.
Wednesday, 12 August morning is also excellent: 8ft S swell, offshore from the ENE, clean faces. The afternoon holds but the wind picks up.
Friday, 14 August morning – a real gem. 7ft S swell, 13 seconds, and glassy with a light NNW breeze. The ocean will be flat calm. Afternoon goes offshore again.
The weekend (15-16 August) drops. Saturday still has punchy 6ft waves with offshore wind, but by Sunday it’s under 4ft and the wind gets strong. From Monday, 17 August the swell goes flat, under 3ft and weak for the next week. Mid-week (18-19 August) is onshore junk – kite surfers might like the wind.
There’s a long dry spell, then Tuesday, 25 August fires up again: 8ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, very strong energy (3032). That’s a monster groundswell, but with a 25 mph offshore, it’s a battle to get out. Only for the hardcore, and still a long way out.
Bottom line: Tuesday 11 August afternoon is your session. If you miss it, Friday 14 August morning gives you glassy, head-high waves. The rest is either too small, too windy, or too big for most. 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.
