The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, and I've got to level with you – this stretch is looking pretty grim. We're talking about Ingrina, a sheltered reef setup that's inconsistent at the best of times, and the next couple of weeks are shaping up to be a real flat spell. Let's get into it.
Right now, there's absolutely nothing doing. We've got a long gap of flat, poor conditions stretching from Sunday the 13th of September all the way through to the end of the month. That's nearly two weeks with no surf to speak of. The water's sitting at 66.4°, which is a couple of degrees colder than usual for this time of year, so it's a bit nippy for the time being.
A few little pulses show up – we see some tiny 0.3ft swell from the south on Wednesday the 16th with a long 13-second period, but the combined energy is next to nothing (3-6) and it's being hammered by strong offshore winds. That might look clean, but paddling into those little bumps will be a mission.
The only glimmer comes on Friday the 25th of September, about a week and a half from now. We get a slight uptick: a 0.7ft west swell with a very long 18-second period. That's groundswell, folks. Combined energy is still low at 25, but it's the biggest pulse we've seen. Gentle offshore winds from the NNW will keep things clean. For a sheltered, inconsistent reef like Ingrina, that's about as good as it's going to get. It won't be big, but if you're desperate, that Friday morning might just offer a couple of clean, lined-up waves for the intermediates out there. Don't expect much – the swell direction isn't exactly the optimum SW that this spot likes.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, there's nothing that stands out as a solid session. It's a proper blank run, and for this area, that's not totally unusual. The breaks are inconsistent and the swell windows are narrow. Hang in there, forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.

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.
