Cibratel Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got for the coming weeks at Cibratel.

First thing you'll notice is that for the first couple of days we’re getting a bit of a dud. There's some small, messy junk in the water on the 1st and 2nd, not worth paddling out for. It’s not until Thursday, the 3rd of September, that things finally clean up and there’s something to get excited about. That Thursday morning is your first real standout. The water's sitting a touch warmer than usual for this time of year at 71°, which is nice.

For that Thursday morning session, you’ve got a clean 3ft SSE groundswell, with a period of 11 seconds pushing in. That's a nice long period, so the waves will have some shape and punch, and you'll get those longer lulls between sets to make paddling out easier. What really makes it, though, is the glassy conditions. Absolutely flat calm, offshore wind from the ENE. It doesn't get much cleaner than that for a morning surf. The combined swell energy is reading at 260, so we’re in moderate territory. It’s a proper beginner-friendly size, and the break is very consistent, which is always a good sign.

Now, that Friday morning the 4th is also worth a mention. The swell drops a little to 2ft, but with that same 11-second period and glassy conditions from the west, it’ll be clean, fun little waves. Combined energy is down to 127 though, so it's weaker.

After that, it gets a bit ordinary again. A lot of onshore wind and rain through the weekend into the start of the following week. Not great. But hold onto your board because we have another standout that’s a bit further out.

On the 10th of September, Thursday afternoon, we see a pulse of 7ft E swell, period of 8 seconds. That’s pushing into moderate wave energy at 757. Now, it's an onshore wind situation, which messes with the quality, so keep that in mind. But the real gem is the next morning.

Friday the 11th of September is your best bet hands down. The morning delivers a clean 4ft ESE groundswell with a 9-second period. And it's glassy again, with that offshore breeze from the ENE. The combined energy is a solid 215. This is the standout of the entire outlook – consistent, clean, and a perfect size for a proper session without being too intimidating. It’s a notch bigger than the first standout, so if you're a beginner, the 3rd might be more your speed, but for anyone else, the 11th is the one to circle on the calendar.

The rest of the period from the 12th onwards fades back to small, weak, and often onshore slop. A few glimmers of glass and clean conditions on a few mornings, but with tiny swells under 3ft and very low energy (down in the 70s and 100s), it’s nothing to rush out for.

In short, you’ve got two clear mornings that are the pick of the bunch: the 3rd and the 11th of September. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or both.
