The arms are Azure over a base wavy Argent charged with a barrulet wavy Vert over a varrulet wavy Azure, a sailing ship Sable with sails Argent, in central chief a radiant sun Or, bordure Argent charged with eight figs Vert fruited Or. Mural crown Argent with five visible towers (city rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "CIDADE DA FIGUEIRA DA FOZ". (on flag just "FIGUEIRA DA FOZ").
Meaning:
The bordure and the base wavy are canting elements. The city's name means "fig tree at mouth". The figs on the bordure are referring to "figueira", the base to "foz;", especially the blue wave is representing (tzhe mouth of) Mondego River, whilst the green wave is representing the Atlantic Ocean. The ship alludes to shipping and trading.

Flag and arms were adopted on 4 November 1943.
