Figuera Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Figuera has cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a slow start. The first few days are looking pretty average, nothing to write home about. We've got some small waves and messy wind early on, so don't bother paddling out just yet.

Tuesday the 21st kicks off with a clean 3ft easterly swell, but it’s a short period, just 8 seconds, and the wind is a cross-offshore. The waves are there but the quality is just poor. The afternoon sees a bit more size at 4ft with a clean offshore wind from the ENE, but it’s still not the good stuff.

Wednesday the 22nd is a write-off in the morning with a tiny 0.7ft SSW swell. The afternoon picks up a little to 3ft from the east with a clean offshore, but it’s still just ordinary.

Thursday the 23rd is a complete no-go with onshore winds both sessions, and Friday the 24th starts with onshore wind and a tiny 1ft swell. The afternoon gets a bit of a pulse, 5ft from the SSW with a period of 10 seconds, but the onshore wind makes it choppy and messy.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Saturday the 25th of July is the standout for the first week. We’ve got a clean 5ft south swell in the morning, period of 10 seconds, and a solid offshore wind from the NE. The wave energy is moderate (444). The afternoon cleans up even more with a light breeze and 5ft south swell. This is the day to get wet. The water temperature is sitting at 71°, which is about average for this time of year.

Sunday the 26th is a write-off again with strong onshore winds, and Monday the 27th is marginal with a mix of cross-onshore and cross-shore winds.

Tuesday the 28th looks promising again. A clean 3ft SSW swell, period of 12 seconds, with a moderate offshore wind from the NE. The energy is moderate (346). It’s a good, clean option for a session.

The rest of the week into early August is a mixed bag. We get a few more clean windows, like the morning of the 2nd of August with a 6ft easterly swell and offshore wind, but the period is short at 8 seconds. The wave energy is strong (886), but that short period might make it a bit lumpy. For the more experienced crew, that could be a fun session, but it’s not for the groms.

Overall, the clear winner is Saturday the 25th of July. Clean, offshore winds, a solid 5ft south swell, and good energy. Don't be late.

Rusty.
