The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, it’s a quiet start at Cibratel, but there’s a couple real gems hiding in the weeds if you’re patient.
The first week and a half is mostly small and weak – you’ll be fighting for anything rideable. But hold out, because around the middle of the second week, we get a proper pulse. The big day to lock in is Monday the 18th of August.
Thursday the 6th of August kicks off with glassy conditions, but the swell is tiny – just 1 ft from the ESE with a short 8-second period. Combined energy is only 47 – weak. You might get a knee-high wave, but it’s ordinary.
Friday the 7th of August stays the same – 1 ft with a cross-offshore wind in the morning keeping it clean, but still weak at 41. Afternoon turns cross-onshore and it’s a no-go.
Saturday the 8th of August, morning is marginal with 3 ft and a cross-on breeze. But the afternoon? Magic. The wind goes glassy, the swell bumps to 3 ft from the SSE with a long 14-second period – proper groundswell – and the energy hits 453, moderate but punchy. Clean, glassy waves with good shape, a little spaced out. This is a real treat.
Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th are mixed. Sunday morning has a cross-shore breeze and 3 ft, energy at 256 – maybe a few. Monday morning sees 4 ft from the SSE at 12 seconds, but it’s cross-on and raining. Energy is 414, so there’s push, but it’s not clean. Monday afternoon is similar with 4 ft, cross-wind, still marginal.
From Tuesday the 11th of August through the end of that week, it’s mostly poor – onshore wind and chop. Thursday the 13th of August brings a clean, glassy morning with 3 ft SSE groundswell at 12 seconds – energy 379 – a decent, clean little session.
But the real standout is Monday the 18th of August. Early morning, dead calm – glassy as the inside of a shell – and a solid 8 ft swell from the SSE with an 11-second period. The combined energy is a massive 2306 – that’s strong, powerful juice. This one’s for experienced surfers only – too big for beginners in a beach break setup. It’s going to be pumping.
After that, it fades through the 19th and 20th. The 21st of August offers a glassy 4 ft but with a short period – clean but small compared to that Monday.
Best picks: Saturday afternoon the 8th of August for clean, glassy fun, and the absolute standout is Monday the 18th of August for big, powerful, glassy swell – one for the experienced crew.
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.
