Figuera Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what we've got comin' up for Figuera over the next couple of weeks.

We're kickin' off with a solid pulse of swell that looks like the real deal. The water temp is sittin' at 73°F, which is pretty standard for early September, nothin' unusual there.

Thursday, September 3rd morning is your standout. We've got a clean 7ft swell rollin' in from the south with a nice 11-second period. The wind is light offshore from the NE, keepin' things glassy. The combined energy is rippin' at 966 (moderate to strong), and the comment says "expect very good surf conditions." This is the best you'll see in the whole run. The afternoon sees the wind pickin' up hard to 25 mph from the same direction. It's offshore, so it'll be clean, but that strong breeze makes paddlin' into 'em a real battle, especially for intermediate and up.

Friday the 4th drops off a bit. Mornin' has a 4ft SSE swell with a clean cross-off breeze, but the energy drops to 414. The afternoon is smaller at 3ft but with a light 9 mph SE wind, keepin' it clean and surfable. Not a barnstormer, but a good secondary window.

Then we hit a rough patch. From Saturday the 5th through Sunday the 13th is mostly a write-off. Lots of poor surf conditions, onshore winds, rain showers, and small weak swell. There's a brief window on Monday the 7th afternoon with a 8ft SSW swell and 1035 energy (strong), but the wind is cross-off and rain is about, makin' it a marginal call. Tuesday the 8th afternoon sees a fresh offshore breeze with a 6ft S swell at 763 energy, which is rideable but not that clean. Saturday the 12th afternoon looks tidy with a gentle offshore wind and 4ft E swell, but the energy is low at 296.

Now, the most interesting long-range call lands on Monday, September 14th morning. A 4ft SSW swell rolls in with a *very* long 16-second period and a combined energy of 832. That's groundswell energy with serious push. The wind is light from the WSW, but it's onshore and it's a bit unknown how that light breeze will treat it. That long period will draw the lines out, makin' Figuera potentially really fun if the tide cooperates. It's a promising but less certain option.

Wednesday the 16th morning gives us one more clean window with a moderate offshore breeze and a 3ft E swell at 322 energy. It's small but clean. Thursday the 17th morning is glassy with a 3ft E swell, but the energy is weak at 176, so it's just a gentle session.

The gap from the 5th to the 13th is a long, quiet stretch. Keep an eye on that Monday the 14th window, though. If it cleans up, that long-period groundswell could be a sneaky highlight.

Rusty.
