The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a tough one to write. We’re looking at the Ingrina area for the next 16 days, and I gotta be honest, the surf cupboard is pretty much bare. There’s a long, dry gap ahead. The first hint of anything rideable doesn’t show up until way down the track, and even then it’s nothing to get excited about.
Right now, through the end of July and the first week of August, we’ve got nothing. Zilch. The swell energy is a big fat zero (0) pretty much every day. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-offshore, which would be great if there was any swell to work with, but there isn’t. It’s a heartbreaking stretch of flat, clean water. You’d be better off going for a swim.
We hang in there for a good long while, scratching our heads. The first real speck of something appears on the morning of Thursday, 13 August. Even then, it’s a tiny 0.3ft from the west with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a pathetic 1. That’s barely a ripple. Not worth paddling out for.
The best the whole 16 days has to offer – and this is a real “grasping at straws” situation – is on the afternoon of Thursday, 13 August. We get a bump to 3ft from the ESE, but the period is a shocking 4 seconds. That’s pure wind chop, not a proper swell. The combined energy is still only 26 (weak). On top of that, you’ve got a fresh breeze blowing cross-offshore, so it’s going to be messy.
Ingrina is a sheltered reef that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and for this run, it’s just not showing up. The water temperature is sitting at 65°, which is a whopping 5° colder than usual for this time of year – that’s a notable chill for the first break we looked at.
There’s a massive gap from the start of the forecast until the 13th of August with no real surf. Honestly, if you’re desperate for a splash, wait for the morning of Friday, 14 August, when we get a tiny 0.3ft from the west with an 8-second period and a gentle cross-shore breeze. The energy is 1 (weak). It’s still poor, but it’s the most consistent looking thing in the second week.
Save your energy. This one’s a dud.
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.
