The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you about what’s on the table. Looking at the next couple of weeks, I can tell you right now it’s gonna be a tough stretch. There’s a big old gap of flatness to get through before any hope shows up, and even then, it’s barely a whisper. You’ll need to keep the expectations real low.
Over at Ingrina (a sheltered reef setup), the forecast kicks off with nothing worth paddling out for. We start with a tiny 0.3ft swell from the SW, with a very long period of 15 seconds, and combined wave energy is just 9—weak as can be. The water is sitting at 67°, which is 4° colder than normal for this time of year. That’s a notable chill, so a thicker wetsuit is a must if you’re even thinking about getting wet. The whole rest of the first week shows blank days. From September 1st right through to September 8th, it’s a flat run of “poor surf conditions” with minimal to zero swell. Tuesday the 1st through Monday the 7th is basically a write-off. The wind on Tuesday morning is a fresh offshore from the N at 19 mph, which would be tidy if there was anything to ride, but there just isn’t.
The drought continues. From September 8th to September 12th, same story—nothing. Not a single rideable wave. It’s just offshore or cross-off winds blowing over a dead flat ocean. You’ll see the combined energy stays at zero for days on end. This area is clearly in a lull, and with Ingrina being an inconsistent spot to begin with, this kind of blank run is pretty normal.
Then around September 13th, we finally see a glimmer, but it’s not exactly a standout. The morning of the 13th shows a light cross-on breeze and still no swell. Then on September 14th, Monday morning, there’s a tiny 0.3ft wave appearing from the W with a 12-second period, but it’s blowing onshore from the S at 9 mph—messy. Combined energy is only 6. That is not a surfable option, it’s just a ripple.
If I had to pick the least worst moment in this whole outlook, it would be the morning of September 16th, Wednesday. We get a 0.3ft swell from the S, period of 13 seconds, and a moderate offshore wind from the NNW at 12 mph. It’ll be clean, but that’s about all I can say for it. The combined energy is still just 6. It’s not a wave for a surfer, it’s a wave for a paddleboarder floating around. Don’t go in expecting anything with push. It’s too small for beginners? No, it’s too small for everyone.
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.
