The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Figuera over the next couple of weeks.
It's a bit of a slow start, but the first decent window we get is the morning of Saturday, the 1st of August. We've got a clean 4 ft swell coming from the south with a 12-second period, and the wind is offshore from the northeast. The energy is moderate (347), so it's not a world-beater, but it's a nice, clean, surfable start to the weekend. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The real standout, and the one to circle on the calendar, is the afternoon of Sunday, the 9th of August. Saturday the 8th starts to show some promise with a 6 ft SSW swell, but it's the Sunday that delivers. We're looking at a solid 8 ft SSW groundswell with a very long 14-second period. The combined energy is strong (3716), and with a moderate offshore breeze from the ENE, it's going to be clean and powerful. This is excellent surf, but at this size, it's for experienced surfers only. The long period means the waves will have plenty of push and shape, but it might break a bit too straight for a beach break, so keep that in mind.
After that, the swell sticks around but the wind turns on us. Monday the 10th of August has a big 10 ft S swell, but the south-westerly cross-onshore wind will make it choppy and messy. It's a bit of a shame because the energy is very strong (4185), but the quality won't be there for a good paddle. The setup could be more interesting for kite surfing than regular surfing on that day.
The rest of the second week has some promising moments. The morning of Wednesday the 12th of August sees a 5 ft S swell with a 12-second period and a clean offshore wind, giving us some very good conditions. The energy is moderate (645). Then, as we head into the 14th of August, the morning offers a clean 3 ft S swell with light offshore winds and a nice 12-second period. It's a fun, smaller option.
The final weekend, the 15th and 16th of August, fizzles out. The swell drops right off, and while the wind is still offshore, the waves are just too small to get excited about. The 16th of August also brings a strong breeze that'll make paddling a real chore.
So, to sum it up: the immediate start is a bit mellow, but the 9th of August is the proper highlight. Get it while it's clean.
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.
