The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty.
Alright, let's be straight up with you. We're looking at a pretty flat run for the next couple of weeks. The water temperature at Ingrina is sitting at 67°, which is over 4° colder than usual for this time of year – that's a solid step down, so you'll want a good steamer if you're heading out.
The first record we've got is for Tuesday, August 11th, and straight away, it's a no-go. We've got a solid 16-day window here, but it's almost all blank. From Tuesday the 11th right through to the end of the outlook on Wednesday, August 26th, the conditions are consistently rated as "poor." There's a huge gap with no real surf on offer. For the first several days, there's literally zero wave energy at all. It's not until the morning of Saturday, August 15th, that we see a tiny pulse of energy – 0.3ft of swell from the south with a 18-second period, but the combined energy is a measly 6 (weak). That's a long-period groundswell, but it's so small it's practically not there. The wind is a fresh offshore from the NNW, which would be clean, but there's nothing to ride.
The pattern continues. A few more days with tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft swells pop up, but the energy readings are all in the single digits or low double digits (like 48 on the morning of Tuesday, August 18th, and 28 on the morning of Wednesday, August 19th). Even when the swell direction is closer to the optimum SW, the height is just too small to do anything with. The winds are often offshore or cross-offshore, which is a tease – it'd be glassy and clean, but with no waves. For a sheltered reef like Ingrina, you need a bit more grunt to get it working.
This is a classic dead spell for the area. There are no standout days, no magic window. It's a blank run. If you're desperate for a paddle, you might find a tiny ankle-biter, but honestly, the setup looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard right now. Forecasts can always change, but for the next 16 days, it's a waiting game.
Stay patient,
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.
