The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Figuera is cooking up for us.
We're looking at a bit of a slow start, not gonna lie. The first few days are a bit of a write-off with poor surf and onshore winds. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year at 72°, so no surprises there.
It’s not until Wednesday morning, July 15th, that we see a glimmer of hope. We’ve got a clean 5ft SSE swell pushing in with a moderate 12 mph offshore wind from the ENE. The energy's moderate at 617, and it’s looking like a solid session. Wednesday afternoon stays clean but the wind picks up to a fresh 19 mph, so the morning is the go.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Thursday, July 23rd. The morning brings a solid 8ft SSW groundswell with a 12-second period, and a light, gentle offshore breeze from the NE. This is proper energy, measuring 1785, and it’s going to be firing for the experienced crew. The 12-second period means decent shape, but at 8ft, this one is for the experts only. The wind is light and clean, so get ready for some ledges. The afternoon is still good, but the wind gets a bit stronger.
After that, things taper off. Saturday the 26th offers a decent morning session with a 5ft E swell and a light offshore, but it's not the same beast as the 23rd.
Overall, the first week has a few clean windows, but the real gem is that Thursday the 23rd. The rest of the second week is a bit of a mixed bag with inconsistent winds, so don't get your hopes too high too far out. Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, circle that date.
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.
