The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. It’s gonna be a real mixed bag, with a couple of windows that’ll get you out there, but a whole lot of nothing in between.
The first real chance of a wave comes on Monday the 24th of August, but honestly, it’s a struggle. You’ve got a 5ft swell from the SSE, period around 14 seconds, but the wind is onshore, making it messy. The combined energy is moderate at 849, but the quality is just not there. Tuesday is similar, with the swell dropping to 4ft and the wind shifting cross-onshore, it’s not looking good.
Now, Wednesday the 26th of August is where it gets interesting. The morning session is the standout. We’re looking at 3ft of SSE swell, but the period is a very long 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is glassy, dead calm, so the surface will be like a mirror. The combined energy is moderate at 509, but with that period and clean conditions, it’ll be a fun little wave. Cibratel is an exposed beach, so a long period swell like this can sometimes make it break a bit straight, but when it’s this clean, it’s worth a paddle. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 70°F.
Thursday the 27th also has a glassy morning, with 4ft from the SSE and a 14-second period, combined energy of 574. Another promising session, but the afternoon turns to rubbish.
Then the wheels fall off. From Friday the 28th right through to the end of August, and into the first week of September, it’s a long, flat, and windy stretch. The swell drops below 3ft, the period gets short, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or choppy. There’s a long gap of really poor conditions here.
The next glimmer of hope is on Thursday the 3rd of September. The morning is glassy again, with a 3ft SSE swell, 12-second period, and combined energy of 282. It’s small, but clean. Then Sunday the 6th of September morning, glassy with 4ft of short-period SSE swell (9 seconds), combined energy of 371. It’s a short window, but it’ll be clean.
The best on offer is definitely the Wednesday morning, the 26th of August. The glassy conditions and that long period groundswell make it the pick of the bunch. The Thursday morning the 27th is a close second. After that, you’re waiting over a week for the next clean session on the 3rd of September.

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.
