The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. To be straight with you, this forecast is a flat spell for Ingrina. No two ways about it – there’s nothing rideable in the entire 16-day window. We’ve got a long, empty gap starting right now and running all the way through. The water is sitting at 66°, which is a solid 4° colder than normal for this time of year – that’s a notable chill, so you’ll want a good steamer if you’re even thinking about a paddle.
For the next two weeks, the pattern is mostly clear skies, but the wind is relentless from the NNW, often blowing 12 to 25 mph. That’s a cross-off or offshore direction, so it would be clean if there was any swell, but there just isn’t. On the odd morning like Sunday the 2nd or Monday the 3rd, the wind drops a little, but the swell energy is zero or barely a whisper – we’re talking combined energy of just 3 or less. The only tiny blips are a few 0.3 ft pulses from the south with a period around 12–13 seconds, but that’s not enough to break over a sheltered reef.
Even by the 17th of August, that 0.3 ft from the southwest with a 17-second period is just too small and weak. Total wave energy (11) is basically nothing. For a reef that’s inconsistent and needs a decent southwest swell to work, this is a blank run. It’s just one of those stretches where the ocean is sleeping. Keep an eye on the charts – it never stays poor forever around here, but for now, leave the board at home.

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.
