The Lowdown
Rusty here, lookin’ at Fonte da Telha for the next couple weeks.
First few days are a total bust. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th – cross-onshore slop, choppy, lumpy, just nasty. Friday the 28th morning shows a pulse of 6ft swell from the WNW at 10 seconds, but that cross-onshore wind ruins it. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday the 29th morning is the first clean window. A cross-offshore north wind, 4ft NW swell at 9 seconds, clean faces. Water temp is 69°, dead average for the season. Energy is weak (237). For beginners, that’s your best bet in the first week.
There’s a dry spell from Sunday the 30th through Monday the 31st – messy winds and small waves.
Then look at Wednesday the 2nd of September morning. Light north cross-offshore breeze, clean, 4ft NW swell. Energy is weak (210), but that clean surface is gold for a beginner spot.
The standout, though, is the glassy mornings on Saturday the 6th and Monday the 8th of September. On the 6th, dead calm, 2ft swell from the WNW with a long 11-second period – that groundswell will give the waves some push and shape, even if it’s small. Energy is very weak (103). Monday the 8th is another glassy session, 2ft WNW swell. Tiny but perfect.
If I’m calling the one session to aim for, it’s the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September. Clean, cross-offshore, consistent 4ft surf. This spot can get crowded often, but the clean conditions might keep the fair-weather crew away. That’s your pick.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Fonte da Telha can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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).
