The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase: the next couple of weeks are looking flat, real flat. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing ahead of us, so don’t be in a hurry to wax up.
The only spot with any sort of name for itself in the mix is Ingrina, a sheltered reef break. This place needs a solid push of swell to show its face, and it’s known for being inconsistent, so this dead spell isn’t exactly a shock. We're looking at a solid gap of about a week and a half with no surf worth mentioning. From the 11th through the 20th, it’s completely flat. No energy, no push. It's just a pond out there.
When we finally do see a little pulse of life, it’s still going to be weak. Around the 21st of September, we might see a tiny bump. The best of it looks like Monday afternoon, with a weak 2ft of south-southeast swell. The period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s going to be soft and mushy, lacking any real punch. The combined swell energy will be a weak 18. It’s something, but it’s not going to be worth the paddle.
The rest of that week is more of the same tiny, short-period slop, with the swell shifting around to the south and southwest. The wind will be offshore at times, which will keep the surface clean, but clean, tiny waves are still tiny waves.
One thing to note: the water is cold. For the first surf mention, the water is sitting at 66°, which is a big 5° colder than normal for this time of year. That’s a serious drop, so you’ll be wanting the full suit, hood, and booties. It’s not just a little fresh; it’s genuinely cold for this time of year.
So, here’s the bottom line. There is absolutely nothing on the table for the next ten days. If you are desperate, you might find a knee-high ripple mid-week, but I wouldn’t count on it. The long-range stuff, around the 24th and 25th, shows weak pulses with longer periods, but the swell heights are still only 0.3ft. That’s nothing.
It’s bleak, folks. There are no standouts here. This is a blank run, and for a sheltered spot like Ingrina, these long flat spells are just a part of the local character. We just have to wait for the ocean to wake up. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be finding something else to do.
Keep the faith. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
