Table - best surf conditions forecast for Cibratel over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it for Cibratel. This is a very consistent beginner-plus wave, facing SE, so it grabs whatever’s kicking around. The water’s about 70°F, running a bit warmer than average for the time of year – nothing crazy, just a touch.
The first real chance of a wave doesn’t come until Friday the 13th of September, but it’s nothing to write home about – onshore wind and bumpy. The day to lock in is Monday the 16th. You’ve got a clean 5ft swell out of the SE, 8-second period, moderate energy (323), and glassy winds. That’s the session. Tuesday the 17th morning jumps up to 8ft from the SSE with a 9-second period and decent cross-shore wind, but that’s expert-only at that size – the energy reading is a massive 1431. Not for beginners.
The swell backs right off after that. A few glassy mornings pop up on the 20th and 21st, but the waves are tiny – under 2ft – not worth the effort. Another big pulse shows up on Wednesday the 25th of September with a 7ft S swell, but the wind is messy. The afternoon cleans up with an 8ft S swell at 10 seconds and lighter wind, but again, that’s for big-wave crew only.
So, the standout is definitely Monday the 16th. Cibratel gets crowded often, so plan on an early paddle. The SE swell, clean conditions, and solid but manageable size make it the best call in this 16-day window. After that, it’s a long stretch of small, poor surf. Grab that Monday.

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.
