Cibratel Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer for Cibratel over the next couple of weeks.

Alright, so we're kicking off with a bit of a slow start, but there's some decent potential building through the first week, especially if you can pick your windows. Overall, the water is sitting at 69° which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a nice little bonus.

The first real chance to get wet comes on Saturday, August 8th. It's a beautiful glassy morning, no wind at all, and we've got a clean 3ft SSE swell rolling in with a 10-second period. The energy is moderate, sitting at 220. It's a beginner-plus wave, so it's a good one for those getting into it, and the conditions are spot on. The afternoon sees the wind pick up a little onshore, turning it marginal, so make the most of the early session.

Sunday the 9th is a bit of a write-off with a cross-shore wind and a dropping swell, and the same goes for Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th. The swell tries to push a bit on Monday (4ft to 5ft, 695 energy), but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, messing up the surface. That's a bit of a shame.

We get another clean shot on Thursday, August 13th. Glassy again first thing, with a 3ft SSE swell and a 12-second period, giving it a bit more shape. The energy is light (231), but the quality is there. Then Friday, August 14th is another one to circle. A glassy morning with a 3ft SSE swell, a 13-second period, and the energy is a bit better at 430. This is looking like a real good, clean session for the early birds.

Saturday, August 15th offers another glassy morning, same sort of swell, but the energy drops a touch. The conditions are clean, but it's not as punchy as Friday.

After that, we hit a rough patch. Sunday the 16th gets choppy and messy, and the swell drops right off. The best of the rest looks like Monday, August 17th. It's a glassy morning with a 5ft ESE swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it's a bit of a weak, wind-swell affair. The energy is moderate (253). It's surfable, but it won't have the same push as the SSE swells earlier.

Then, Tuesday, August 18th morning has a bit of promise. A 5ft SE swell, 9-second period, with a clean cross-offshore wind, giving it a 381 energy reading. That's more interesting. It's a bit bigger, so maybe one for the more experienced.

Wednesday, August 19th morning is another glassy one with a 4ft ESE swell and a 10-second period. The energy is solid (398). That's a good call. The waves might be a bit sectiony with that period, but glassy is glassy.

Things get pretty weak and ordinary from the 20th onwards. The swell drops to under 3ft, the energy levels fall off, and the winds are messy. The 22nd and 23rd of August offer very little, with tiny waves and poor conditions. The 23rd of August has a glassy morning, but the swell is only 2ft and the energy is weak (119). It's a paddle more than a surf.

So, the standout session? Friday, August 14th morning. That glassy, 3ft SSE swell with a 13-second period and 430 of energy is the pick of the bunch. It's a proper, clean, user-friendly wave. Saturday, August 8th morning is a close second for the same reason. After that, the windows on the 13th, 15th, and the 18th and 19th are worth a look if you're keen, but nothing beats that Friday.

Rusty.
