Cibratel Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer. We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch for Cibratel. The waves are small, and while there are some windows of clean conditions, it’s nothing to get too excited about. The dominant swell is coming from the south-southeast, but it’s lacking the size and energy to get the heart pumping. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

First up, Friday morning the 24th of July. It’s a small 3 ft swell from the south, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is glassy from the southwest at 3 mph, making it clean. The combined energy is weak (100). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That afternoon, the swell bumps up just a touch to 3 ft from the south-southeast, period 9 seconds. Still glassy, with a light 3 mph SSW wind. Energy is moderate (152). It’s small, but it’s the best of the first few days for a longboard or a funboard.

Saturday the 25th also sees a clean morning with the same 3 ft SSE swell and glassy conditions. Good for a paddle, but the afternoon turns poorer as the wind swings onshore.

Sunday the 26th has a glassy morning, calm wind, and a 2 ft SE swell, but the period is short at 9 seconds. The afternoon gets messy.

The pattern continues through the week: tiny swells, mostly under 3 ft, with the occasional glassy morning. The energy stays low, bouncing between 33 and 152. The best of the bunch for the first week is actually Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th mornings, with that clean glass and a little bit of waist-high SSE swell. It’s not a standout, but it’s the only game in town.

Moving into the second week, it doesn’t really get any better. There’s a small pulse on Saturday the 1st of August with a morning glass-off and a 3 ft ESE swell, but the period is a weak 6 seconds. The energy is low (94). The afternoon gets messy.

A bigger swell shows up on Wednesday the 5th of August, with a 4 ft SSE swell, but the period is short (10 seconds) and the wind is a moderate 12 mph cross-onshore from the east, making it choppy and poor. The energy is moderate (282), but it’s not for surfing. That’s more of a kite day.

The outlook ends with a glassy morning on Saturday the 8th of August, with a tiny 2 ft SE swell. It’s clean, but barely a ripple.

Honestly, there’s no true standout in this 16-day window. The conditions are too small and too often wind-affected. If you’re desperate, grab the longboard on the 24th or 25th morning. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
