The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for Cibratel.
Honestly, mate, the next couple of weeks look pretty quiet for paddle surfing. We're looking at a lot of small, weak surf with poor conditions, so don't get too excited just yet. There’s a long stretch here where it's just not worth paddling out. From now, right through the end of the week and into the next, it's pretty grim. We're talking days of nothing good, just tiny waves and messy wind.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't come until Friday the 18th of September. The morning session is the standout for the whole period. You've got a clean 5 ft swell from the east, dead glassy conditions with no wind at all, and moderate wave energy (357). That's the pick of the bunch, for sure. After that, the surf drops right back off again into the following week.
There is a bit of a wildcard late in the piece. On Monday the 28th of September, the swell energy kicks up big time, with readings over 500 (548) in the morning and even 705 in the afternoon. We're looking at a 5 ft swell from the SSE with a very long period of 15 seconds, which is proper groundswell. The energy is strong, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it might be a bit bumpy. A long period swell like that is best for a point or reef, not so much a beach break. It's a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
The water temp at the start is 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Not a major anomaly, but nice.
So, to sum it up: if you absolutely have to get wet, your best bet is Friday the 18th of September morning. That's the only real standout. Everything else is small, ordinary, or just plain poor. The big energy on the 28th is promising but way off and uncertain. Keep your expectations low for now.
Rusty.

Information about the Cibratel Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cibratel provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cibratel can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cibratel 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 (Cibratel) 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 Cibratel 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.
