The Lowdown
Alright, let’s run through it again but in feet and miles per hour for you. The story stays the same – mostly rough, but a couple of bright spots.
Praia da Foz Cabo Espichel Sesimbra is a reef setup that wants clean WSW swell, but we’re staring at a long stretch of messy, windblown junk. The first few days are a bust – onshore winds, lumpy faces, poor surf. But there is a solid groundswell window on Friday 28 August.
Friday 28 August morning is the real deal. The wind goes dead calm – glassy, with a light NNE breeze at 3 mph. Swell runs a clean 6 ft from the WNW, 10-second period, and the wave energy is solid at 780. Glassy conditions on a reef break like this? That’s pure gold. Water temp is 68°F, about 2°F colder than normal, so you’ll feel that slight drop. Crowds can pop up here sometimes, so get in early.
After that morning window, the wind swings onshore and it’s downhill. Friday afternoon through Thursday 3 September is just messy cross-onshore chop, lumpy faces, and fresh winds. Swell drops off, energy levels mostly weak to moderate. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday 5 September morning offers a small, clean break. Swell at 3 ft from the WNW, 11-second period giving it some shape, and a light offshore SSE wind at 6 mph. Energy sits moderate at 290. Small, but clean enough for a quiet session.
Sunday 6 September morning is a beauty for small-wave gear. Glassy, flat calm, 3 ft from the NW with a long 12-second period and energy at 229. That period will hold nice lines on the reef. Tiny, but when it’s that clean, you’d be a fool not to go.
After that, it dwindles. Monday 7 September is clean but tiny, and then we’re back into onshore chop and poor conditions through to Friday 11 September. The last day shows a slight bump to 3 ft from the west with an 8-second period, but it’s blown out with 19 mph winds – better for kiting than surfing.
So, your best bets: Friday 28 August morning – 6 ft, glassy, reef perfection. Sunday 6 September morning – tiny but clean and glassy. The rest is a wash.
