Cibratel Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into what’s happening at Cibratel over the next two weeks. It’s gonna be a tough stretch of mostly small, ordinary waves, but there are a few glassy moments worth paddling out for.

The pattern is pretty flat and quiet. There’s a long gap with no real surf to get excited about from the start, and the first few days are all tiny, weak swells. The best of the window pops up on Saturday the 1st of August with a bit of ESE swell, but you’ll have to be quick. After that, it’s more of the same small stuff, with a few cleaner windows in the second week.

Starting Tuesday 28 July, it’s barely surfable. Tuesday morning has a tiny 2ft SE swell with a short period of 8 seconds, and the energy is weak (60). The wind is light and glassy though, which is a nice touch for the scenery. Tuesday afternoon drops to 1ft from the S, with a longer period of 12 seconds, but it’s still a weak bump (107). Wednesday 29 July morning is even smaller at 1ft, offshore wind, but the energy is just 49. Not worth a wet suit.

Thursday 30 July and Friday 31 July are all poor—tiny swell, messy wind, and scores of zero. Just a dead run.

Saturday 1 August is the standout. The morning brings a 3ft ESE swell, short period of 7 seconds, but glassy conditions thanks to light WSW wind. The energy is a moderate 93. It’s not big, but it’s the best of the whole window. The break is “very consistent” and exposed to the SE swell, so it’ll pick up what little there is. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. This is a beginner-friendly spot, and with the glassy clean surface, it’s a fun little session for anyone. Afternoon goes onshore, so don’t sleep in.

Sunday 2 August through to Tuesday 4 August are all poor or tiny, with no real energy. Wednesday 5 August morning shows a slight uptick—2ft SSE swell, 11-second period, with clean cross-off wind. Energy is moderate (119). Still small, but cleaner. Not a standout.

From Thursday 6 August to Sunday 9 August, it’s a mix of glassy mornings and small swell, but nothing breaking 2ft. The energy sits in the 50–97 range. Monday 10 August morning has a 2ft S swell with a 12-second period, clean cross-off wind, and energy of 96. It’s okay, but not great.

Tuesday 11 August morning is the other highlight. A 2ft SSE swell with a 12-second period, glassy conditions, and moderate energy of 136. That’s the most energy of the whole two weeks, but the swell is still tiny. The long period means it’ll have some shape, but it’s just too small to get excited about. The afternoon goes onshore again.

Wednesday 12 August is the last day in the window, and it’s poor—cross-shore wind, messy.

Bottom line: there’s no big swell here. The best call is a dawn patrol on Saturday 1 August for the glassy little 3ft ESE bumps, or Tuesday 11 August morning if you want the longest period ride. But honestly, it’s a quiet stretch. If you’re a kite surfer, the light wind and small waves won’t do much for you either. Mostly, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
