The Lowdown
Rightio, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Ingrina over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a total write-off for any kind of decent surf, so I’m just going to talk you through why it’s so flat and what we’re looking at.
The first real chance of even a ripple comes on Wednesday morning, August 26th, but honestly, it’s not worth getting excited about. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the west, with a short period of just 6 seconds, and it’s coming in with a cross-onshore wind. The combined energy is a measly 42 (weak), and the water here is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 68°. The wind is a moderate breeze, making for choppy, poor conditions. That afternoon, it drops to almost nothing.
From Thursday, August 27th, right through to Wednesday, September 10th, it’s basically a desert. There are long gaps of days with zero surf. The swell just disappears. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-offshore, which is frustrating because the conditions would be clean, but there’s just no wave to ride. You’ll see a few days where the forecast shows a tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft swell, but with periods that are actually quite long, like 15-17 seconds, meaning it’s more of a groundswell pulse with no height. The energy numbers are all in single digits or low teens, which is basically nothing. It’s just a flat, clean, empty ocean.
The only tiny glimmer is on Thursday, September 10th, when we finally see a small pulse of 2ft swell from the east, with a period of 5 seconds. That’s a short-period windswell, and the combined energy is only 21 (weak). The wind is light offshore in the morning, so it will be clean, but it’s just a tiny, weak wave. For a reef break that is inconsistent and sheltered, this is a very marginal day. It’s not something I’d recommend paddling out for unless you’re desperate for a splash.
Because the break is a reef and rarely breaks on its own, a blank run like this is more normal for the area. It’s a waiting game. The forecasts could change, but for now, the only thing worth looking at is the clean, flat water. It’s a better setup for a paddle or a swim than for surfing.

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.
