Figuera Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's heading for Figuera over the next couple of weeks.

It’s a bit of a slow start, to be honest. We’ve got some lumpy, onshore swell around Saturday and Sunday, so it’s not going to be pretty. You’ll want to sit those first couple of days out.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Monday the 6th is our first real standout. That morning, we’ve got a 6ft SSW swell rolling in with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy. The wave energy is moderate (993), and that clean, smooth surface will make for some lovely lines. Later that afternoon, it cleans up even more with a cross-offshore breeze and a 6ft S swell. It won’t be huge, but the quality will be there.

We get a bit of a lull after that, with a few smaller, cleaner days but nothing that’ll get your heart racing. The swell dips, but the conditions stay clean on and off.

For a true standout, you’ve got to look a fair way ahead. Wednesday the 15th is a beauty. 5ft S swell with a clean, offshore wind. The wave energy is moderate (533). It’s a classic clean Figuera day that will have you smiling from ear to ear.

Hold on though, because the end of the window is a different beast. Around the 17th and 18th of July, we are looking at some serious size. We’re talking 10ft SSW swell with a long period of 12 to 15 seconds. The wave energy is strong to very strong (2149 to 3850). That is big, powerful groundswell. At that size, this spot is strictly for experts only. The wind is cross-shore, so it’ll be lumpy and gnarly. For most of us, that’s a day to watch from the cliffs, but for the chargers out there, that’s the call of the week. That long period means it could be a bit straight on the beach, but there should be some proper slabs if you know where to look.

So, in short: start getting excited for Monday the 6th, mark Wednesday the 15th for a cruisy clean session, and keep an eye on those monster days around the 17th and 18th if you’ve got the guts.

Rusty.
