The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you: this is a grim outlook. We are looking at a solid 16-day stretch of almost nothing. For the first four days, from Thursday the 20th through to Sunday the 23rd of August, the swell is tiny, mostly around 0.4 to 1 feet. The wave energy is pathetic, bottoming out at 4 (combined swell energy), so you can leave the board in the car. Winds aren't doing us any favours either, turning onshore on Sunday. It's a write-off.
We then hit a complete dead zone from the 24th of August. The surf stays tiny with hardly any energy, and from the morning of Friday the 28th of August right through to the morning of Sunday the 30th of August, we see zero swell and zero combined energy. It's flat, flat, flat. That's a three-day gap with absolutely nothing to ride.
The only tiny glimmer in this whole forecast comes right at the end. On the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September, we see a little bump. We get a 0.7 foot SSW groundswell with a period of 14 seconds and the combined energy climbs to 40. The wind will be fresh offshore from the NNW, which will keep it clean. But let's be real, 0.7 feet is ankle-snappers at best, and the long period will make it fat and weak at this sheltered reef. It's not one for the highlights reel.
Even the water temp at Ingrina is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 69°.
Overall, this is a long, blank run. If you're desperate, maybe look at kite surfing because paddle surfing is a no-go. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, there's nothing good on offer.
Stay salty,
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.
