The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Cibratel. The next couple of weeks are pretty quiet, with a small bump coming through on Monday, July 20th. That’s the best we’ll see, with waves around 4ft from the east, period around 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 247, and the wind is light and cross-off, so the surf will be clean. Water temp is 66°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Cibratel is a beginner-friendly spot, very consistent, and open to the swell. Crowds are often an issue, so plan to get there early. Monday morning is the pick for a fun, easy session.
The rest of the first week is small and messy. Tuesday and Wednesday are tiny, with onshore winds messing things up. Thursday the 23rd sees a brief spike in the afternoon with 3ft from the south, but it’s still rideable, just not great.
The following week, from the 26th on, is mostly flat or poor. There’s a small window on the 28th and 29th with glassy conditions and 3ft swell from the ESE, period around 9-10 seconds. The energy is moderate (around 157-173), but the waves are small and ordinary. The 29th has calm, glassy conditions, so it’s a good morning for a longboard or a paddle. Water temp is still around 66°.
The 1st of August has a long-period swell, but it’s too small and onshore to matter. The 2nd of August has a glassy morning with 3ft, but again, it’s small.
The standout is Monday, July 20th. After that, it’s a quiet run. Beginners will find something to work with, but for the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.

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.
