The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Honestly, this is a tough one to write. For the next 16 days, the outlook for Ingrina is a dead calm. There's just nothing happening. No swell, no waves, no fun.
The forecast kicks off on Friday the 4th of September with a total blank. Cloudy, a light cross-shore breeze, and the combined swell energy is a flat zero (0). It's poor surf conditions, and that's the story for the whole stretch. We see a few tiny blips – a 3ft ESE swell on Friday afternoon with a 6-second period, but it's onshore and messy. On Saturday the 5th, there's a 0.3ft, 12-second pulse from the south, but it's a ghost. The water is much colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 66°, which is a big 5° below average.
The rest of the period is just clean, offshore winds blowing over a flat ocean. There's a 0.7ft to 1ft west swell on the 11th of September, but with a period of just 7 seconds, it's got no power. The combined energy never cracks double digits, maxing out at 43 for that weak Friday afternoon bump. For a sheltered reef break that's inconsistent at the best of times, this is a normal dry spell. It's a total write-off for paddle surfing. The only thing that might get a little interesting is the wind on the 7th, 8th, and 9th of September, blowing a solid 18-22 mph from the NNW. That's a cross-off wind, but with no swell, it's just a breeze. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There are no standouts. No good options. This is a blank run. Keep an eye on the charts, things can change, but for now, it's a flat spell, plain and simple.
Rusty.

Information about the Ingrina Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ingrina provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ingrina can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ingrina 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 (Ingrina) 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 Ingrina 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.
Ingrina is 19 km (12 miles) from Lagos. If you plan a holiday in The Algarve, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lagos. Lagos has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
