The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for Troia over the next 16 days is a tough one to sell. We're looking at a real quiet spell, with very little wave energy on the cards. The combined swell energy barely gets going, spending most of the time in the weak category, with a few days kicking up to a moderate 462 and 495 range, but even then it's not offering any decent surf.
The gap is pretty much the whole run. Right now, through the end of August and into early September, we've got a whole lot of nothing. The swell we do see is small, short-period stuff, or long-period but tiny. Winds are mostly cross or onshore, so the quality is poor. The only real pulse of energy hits around Monday the 24th of August, with a 7 ft WSW swell, but it's just 8 seconds of period, and it's coming with a fresh cross-onshore wind. That's gonna be a lumpy, choppy mess – more of a kite surfing session than a paddle surf. For the rest of the run, from the 21st of August right through to the 5th of September, we're looking at flat to tiny waves, mostly clean but with no power. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no complaints there, but there's just nothing to ride.

Information about the Troia Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Troia provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Troia can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Troia 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 (Troia) 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 Troia 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.
Troia is 9 km (6 miles) from Setubal. If you plan a holiday in Portugal - Alentejo, look for hotels and other accommodation in Setubal. Setubal has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
