Today's Surf Conditions at Foz
Best Surf Season & Climatology
Best Surf Season (October - March)
The North Atlantic roars back to life each October, and Foz starts to pick up the first serious swell of the new season. By November and December, the Icelandic Low deepens, sending a conveyor belt of extratropical cyclones across the Bay of Biscay. Average swells climb to 1.6-1.7m (5-6ft) with 11-12.5s periods, and the dominant NW/NNW swell directions fill the NNO-NO-ONO window. The wind stats shift in our favor too: SSW and SW flow accounts for a large share of the readings, keeping the beach glassy and well groomed. If the NAO sets up with a strong pressure gradient, Foz can fire for days on end.
