The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the next 16 days for Cibratel.
First thing, this is a beach break that's consistent for beginners and up. Water temp is about 68°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
For the first week, it’s a long, slow grind. Tuesday the 28th has a tiny 1ft south swell with a 12-second period, but the wind is cross and it’s weak. The combined energy is only 131. Wednesday through Friday is more of the same—tiny, weak swells. Friday morning the 31st goes glassy with a 0.7ft SSE swell and a 14-second period, but it’s barely a ripple. Energy is just 59.
The first weekend of August is quiet. Saturday morning the 1st is dead calm and glassy, with a 3ft ESE swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s weak. Energy is 90. Sunday and Monday are flat and glassy, with swell dropping to 1-2ft. It’s a slow stretch.
The second week starts to show signs of life. Tuesday the 4th has a glassy morning with a 1ft SSE swell, 12-second period, and energy hits 105—moderate for the size. Thursday the 6th is clean with offshore wind from the NW at 6 mph and a 1ft SSE swell. Not big, but clean.
The real standout is the end of the run. Friday the 7th sees a jump to 4ft from the east with a short 8-second period, but the energy jumps to 310—strong. The wind is light cross-shore, so it’s messy, but there’s power. The best is Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th. Wednesday morning the 12th is glassy with a 4ft SSE swell, 9-second period, and moderate energy (298). That’s solid. But Wednesday afternoon is the one: glassy, a 7ft south swell, 9-second period, and the energy is 961—very strong. That’s a powerful, clean swell. For a beginner spot, 7ft is too big for learners, but for the experienced crew, that’s the best on offer. It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it.
Otherwise, it’s a lot of small, weak, or onshore junk. First week is a write-off unless you’re desperate for a knee-high slide.
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.
