Cibratel Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break this down for Cibratel.

Starting off, the first few days are a bit slow. Monday is a washout – rain showers and a bumpy cross-onshore breeze make for messy, marginal surf. There’s a 4ft swell from the SSE with a 9-second period, but energy is only moderate (243) and the wind is no help.

Then on July 14, Tuesday morning, the wind goes glassy, and that changes everything. The swell is a clean 4ft from the SSE, 10-second period, with energy building a little (237). This is the first real standout. For a beginner-friendly spot, this is ideal: clean, small, and fun. Expect crowds though – glassy mornings bring everyone out.

Wednesday morning, July 15, is another beauty. Zero wind, glassy, with the same 4ft SE swell, 10-second period, and energy up to 279. The swell direction is more easterly, which suits this break well. Very clean.

Thursday morning, July 16, is also a standout. Glassy again, with a 3ft SE swell that’s picked up period to 11 seconds, giving it more shape and push. Energy is moderate (356). Perfect for a long, clean session.

Friday morning, July 17, is worth getting up early for too. Light offshore wind, clean, with a 3ft SE swell and a nice 12-second period. Energy is decent (400). The afternoon gets a bit onshore, so hit it early.

The weekend drops off. Saturday morning, July 18, is small at 2ft, but clean with a side-offshore breeze. Energy is low (105). Saturday afternoon sees a glassy 4ft easterly swell, but with a short 8-second period – it’ll be weak but clean.

From Sunday July 19 through to Thursday July 24, the swell really fades. Tiny waves, mostly around 2ft or less, with very low energy. The wind is often okay, but there’s no power. That’s a solid five-day gap with nothing worth chasing.

On July 23, Thursday morning, we get a glassy window again with a 3ft SE swell, 11-second period, and energy back up to 282. Small, but clean enough for a quick one.

July 25, Saturday, is small but glassy in the morning, a 2ft SSE swell with a long 13-second period – long lines but very tiny. The afternoon picks up to 3ft, but the wind goes onshore.

Now the last few days get interesting. July 26, Sunday morning, sees a jump to 5ft from the SSE, a very long 16-second period, and strong energy (1781). But the wind is a moderate cross-shore, making for bumpy conditions. That long period will make it dump heavy on a beach break, so it’s more for experienced surfers. 5ft is also too big for beginners. The afternoon is similar, a touch smaller at 5ft.

July 27, Monday, drops to 4ft with a 14-second period, but rain and onshore wind mess it up. Energy is still moderate (576). Not great.

So the best windows are those glassy mornings from July 14 to July 16, and the clean Friday morning on July 17. Get out then if you can.
