The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for our local patch.
To be brutally honest, the next sixteen days look like a flat spell for Ingrina. We’ve got a real dry run ahead of us. The first patch of any sort of rideable wave doesn’t show up until Friday the 17th of July, and even then, it’s a tiny 0.6ft swell from the west, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a measly (3), so don’t expect much. The wind is a fresh cross-offshore from the NNW at 22 mph, keeping the surface clean, but there just isn't enough push.
Saturday the 18th through Thursday the 31st of July is a write-off. The swell barely registers, with most windows showing no surf at all. You’ll see a few 0.3ft pulses from the south or west, with periods ranging from 9 to 19 seconds, but the energy is so low (single digits, maxing out at 13) that you’d be spending more time floating than riding. The winds are mostly moderate to fresh cross-offshore, which would be nice if there was something to surf. The water temp is sitting at 70°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The pattern continues into August. The 1st of August shows a hint of a glassy morning, but again, no swell to speak of. A tiny 0.3ft westerly with a 15-second period sneaks in that afternoon, but the energy is (4) – a total non-event.
This is a classic case of "don't hold your breath." Ingrina is an inconsistent spot, so a blank run like this isn't unheard of. It’s a reef setup that’s sheltered, so it takes a proper south-west swell to get it going. Unfortunately, the forecast is delivering nothing but disappointment. For a reef break like this, with such tiny waves, you’d be better off with a snorkel than a surfboard.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change, but right now, the only thing breaking is my heart.

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.
