The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. For the next week and a half, Cibratel is the only spot on the radar, and it’s a consistent beginner-plus break that’s exposed to the swell. Water temp is running about 21°, a little warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice touch.
The first couple of days, Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd, are poor. Small, choppy, onshore wind and weak wave energy in the 167 to 298 range. Nothing doing.
Monday the 24th sees the swell bump up to 1.3m from the SSE with a 14-second period. Combined energy hits 640, which is solid. But the wind is onshore, so it’s messy.
Now, Tuesday the 25th is the first real standout. Early morning is glassy, flat calm, with the swell holding at 1.3m from the SSE, 14 seconds. Combined energy is 633. That’s clean, lined-up surf with that long-period groundswell energy. It’s going to be good.
Wednesday the 26th is even better. Morning is glassy again, with the swell at 1.3m from the SSE and the period stretching to 16 seconds – that’s a very long groundswell. Combined energy is 903, which is strong. The sets will be a bit spread out, but the waves will be clean and powerful. That’s the best session of the whole run.
After that, it fades fast. Thursday 27th drops off, and by Friday the 28th we’re down to 0.5m to 0.8m with short periods. The rest of the run through the start of September is mostly flat and weak. There’s a small clean window on Thursday 3rd September, with a 1.2m swell from the south and offshore wind, but it’s only 8 seconds, so it’s average. Then on Sunday 6th September, another glassy morning with 1.4m from the ESE, but again the period is short at 7 seconds.
Bottom line: Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th are your best bets. Clean, glassy, good groundswell. After that, it’s a long stretch of small, poor conditions. Get out there early on those two days.

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.
