The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at the same stretch for Cibratel.
Right now, it’s dead flat. Tuesday through Thursday of this week, we’re looking at tiny waves, basically 2ft to 2ft, from the ESE, with a short period around 8 seconds. The energy is weak, only about 37 to 40 (37 to 40). Winds are light, so the surface is clean, but there’s no push. It’s a waiting game.
Friday the 24th of July is the real deal. A new SSE swell rolls in, pushing 3ft to 4ft, with a period of 10 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 218 in the morning and 224 in the afternoon (218 to 224). That’s moderate, solid energy. And the wind? Glassy. Dead calm in the morning, then a slight air from the NW in the afternoon. That means mirror-flat faces. The water temp is 67°F with a 0.4°F anomaly, so it’s normal for the season. Friday is the standout. The SSE direction lines up perfectly with the optimal SE swell direction. This is the session to target.
The weekend, Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th, fades fast. Waves drop to 3ft to 3ft, period drops to 9 seconds, and the wind goes cross and cross-on, putting ripples on the surface. The energy drops to 117 to 173 (117 to 173). It’s ridable but ordinary.
Monday the 27th of July offers a little something. The swell switches to the south with a long 12-second period, but the height is only 2ft. The combined energy is 157 (157) – moderate. The morning is glassy, so it’s clean, but the size is small. A longboard or fun fish day, not a standout.
After that, things get messy. Saturday the 1st of August shows a jump in height to 5ft to 6ft from the ESE, but the period is a short, choppy 7 seconds. The energy is strong at 347 to 436 (347 to 436), but the wind is cross-shore from the SSW, and the description says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” Too big for beginners, but the quality is poor. I’d skip it.
The rest of the run stays small, mostly under 2ft, with a few glassy mornings but no real power. The best call is still Friday the 24th of July. Don’t miss it.
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.
