The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks have in store for us at Focene.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, flat, and frustrating start. The first solid recommendation doesn’t pop up until Sunday the 30th of August. That means over a week of near-nothing. Morning on the 18th gives us a tiny 3ft swell, but the conditions are just too ordinary to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at a balmy 84°F which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're sitting there watching flat water.
Everything changes on Sunday morning the 30th of August. We finally get some proper swell rolling in from the South, around 5ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy of all swells here hits 344 (moderate wave energy), and that’s the only real standout in the whole forecast. We’ve got a light NNE breeze, which is cross-offshore and clean. For Focene, or Baraonda as the locals know it, this is the window. It’s a fairly consistent beginner-friendly spot, but the wind and a bit of size will bring it to life. It's exposed to that South swell, and with the optimum direction from the SW, this Southerly swell isn't a perfect match, but it’s the best we’re going to see. Just be aware the crowds are often here, so don't expect to have it to yourself.
After that little burst, Monday the 31st has a morning window with 3ft from the WSW, but conditions are only ordinary, and the energy drops right off back to 84 (weak wave energy). The rest of the forecast fizzles out into nothing special.
That Sunday morning is your one and only real target. Don't waste it.

Information about the Focene or Baraonda Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Focene or Baraonda provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Focene or Baraonda can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Focene or Baraonda 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 (Focene or Baraonda) 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 Focene or Baraonda 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.
