The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, breaking down the surf for Cibratel over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but we've got a few windows to get excited about.
First up, the water's running at 70.7°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a bad thing, makes the waiting around a bit more pleasant.
For the first few days, it's pretty grim. Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are write-offs with poor surf and dodgy winds. We're looking at a gap with no real recommendations until we get to Tuesday the 8th.
That Tuesday morning (8th September) is where things start to look interesting. We've got a 4.6ft swell from the east, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. That's a major positive. The wave energy is moderate (337), and for a beginner-plus spot like Cibratel, that's a nice, user-friendly size. It won't be the biggest day of the month, but it'll be clean and fun. The swell period is a short 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit of a windswell, but on a glassy morning, you won't care.
The next real standout doesn't come until later in the outlook. Check out the morning of Saturday the 19th of September. We've got a 5.9ft swell from the east, and the wind is glassy again. The combined energy kicks up to 590, which is strong wave energy. This is the biggest swell of the period and with clean conditions, it's the best on offer. The period is still short at 7 seconds, so it's not a groundswell, but for a very consistent spot like Cibratel, this is a morning to circle on the calendar. It's a bit of a long wait, and forecasts can change, but it looks promising.
A few other days have surfable waves, like the 14th afternoon with a glassy 4.3ft from the SE (408 energy), but nothing else truly stands out as a top-tier session. The 20th and 21st are small and ordinary.
So, to sum it up: the best windows are the glassy morning of Tuesday the 8th for a clean, beginner-friendly session, and the morning of Saturday the 19th for the biggest, cleanest swell of the 16-day window. The crowds are noted as "often" here, so on those good days, expect some company.

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.
