The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down in feet.
We’ve got a solid run of powerful S and SSW groundswells coming into Figuera over the next few days, and the early window is where it’s at. This spot works best with S swell and a light offshore E wind, and we’ve got that exact setup Sunday morning. Water temp is about normal for the season.
Sunday the 23rd starts clean: 6ft SSW swell at 10 seconds, a light east offshore breeze, and combined energy is moderate at 685. The morning is the pick. Afternoon gets a bit bumpy as the wind picks up.
Monday the 24th builds fast. Morning sees 8ft S swell at 13 seconds, cross-off wind, and strong energy at 1902. The afternoon hits 10ft SSW swell at 14 seconds with 3018 energy, but it’s too big for this break—expert-only territory.
Tuesday the 25th morning is the standout. Offshore east wind, glassy, 8ft S swell at a long 14 seconds, and 2733 combined energy. This is classic groundswell with power and shape, perfect for experienced surfers. Crowds can show sometimes, but the quality is top shelf.
Wednesday the 26th: 10ft S swell at 16 seconds, very long period, offshore ENE wind, and a massive 3794 combined energy. Again, too big for this break—only for experts.
From Friday the 28th onward, the swell drops fast. Friday morning is 4ft with cross-off wind, nothing special. Saturday the 29th is flat with short-period E junk. Sunday the 30th is really small.
Monday the 31st through early September is mostly a dead zone: tiny, onshore, or poor quality. A couple of clean mornings pop up, like Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th, with offshore winds but only 3ft swell. The glassy Saturday the 5th morning is the best of that distant stretch, but it’s nothing like the early days.
The real standout is Tuesday the 25th morning: Figuera, 8ft S swell at 14 seconds, offshore breeze, 2733 combined energy, clean. That’s the one to chase.
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.
