The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight up – if you're looking at the Ingrina reef for the next couple of weeks, you're gonna be staring at a whole lot of flat, clean, but totally surf-less ocean. It's a tough one.
We’re looking at a 16-day window, and honestly, the first week plus is a write-off. From Friday the 24th of July right through to the start of August, the swell readings are barely registering a pulse. You've got tiny 0.3ft pulses from the south on a few mornings, but the combined energy is weak – a pathetic (2) or (5) – so it's not even worth paddling out for. The water temperature is sitting at 66°, which is a chilly 4° colder than normal for this time of year, so it feels proper cold, too.
The only positive is that the winds are often offshore or light, so the surface is clean. But clean and flat is just a lake. You'll have a solid gap from Friday the 24th all the way until at least Sunday the 2nd of August with absolutely no surf worth mentioning.
The Only Glimmer on the Horizon
If you’re desperate and have been watching the charts, there’s a little flicker in the second week. On Tuesday morning, the 4th of August, we finally see a different swell direction – a tiny 0.3ft from the west, with a 14-second period. That long period is interesting, and combined with a fresh offshore wind, it might just put a little bit of shape into the reef. But don't get carried away; the combined energy is still just (4). It’s a long-range hope, not a guarantee.
Honestly, for this stretch, Ingrina is looking more like a wind-protected spot for a picnic than a surf break. The consistent clean conditions and flat seas mean it’s just not happening for paddle surfing. Stay patient, folks. It tends not to stay this poor forever.

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.
