The Lowdown
Alright mate, here's the word on Cibratel. Don't expect a whole lot right now, it's a slow start and we've got to wait for the good stuff.
The water's sitting around 70°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. That's about the only comfort for the next week or so.
Saturday, September 12th is a total dud. You've got 2ft of weak, short-period swell from the SSW and a 12 mph cross-on wind. Choppy, poor, forget it.
Sunday, September 13th isn't much better. The swell bumps to 3ft from the SSE, but the period drops to 8 seconds and the wind's still cross-on. Light rain, too. The afternoon tries to push to 4ft, but it's still messy.
Monday, September 14th morning gives you a clean 2ft wave with a light cross-offshore breeze. It's surfable but nothing special. The waves are short-period (7 seconds).
From Tuesday, September 15th all the way to Friday, September 25th, it's a real grind. Small swells, cross-on or onshore winds, and mostly poor conditions. You'll get the odd glassy moment – like Friday, September 18th evening with 2ft and glassy, or Saturday, September 19th morning with 2ft and glassy – but these are tiny, weak waves. The swell energy is low-to-moderate at best, and the wind usually ruins it. This is nearly two weeks of nothing worth rushing out for.
Then we get a payoff. Saturday, September 26th morning is the real standout. Glassy calm winds (0 mph), a clean 3ft swell from the SSE with a long 12-second period, and a strong energy reading. That's a proper groundswell. It'll have good shape, but might close out a bit on the beach. Be ready for lulls between sets.
Sunday, September 27th morning is your other big one. You've got a 5ft swell from the ESE, short period at 7 seconds, but the winds are glassy. That's a solid size – too big for beginners, good for the rest of you. The combined energy is strong, so there's plenty of push.
The best of the whole run is Saturday, September 26th morning for the clean, glassy conditions and the groundswell. Sunday, September 27th morning is your other window, with more size but shorter period. Most of the other days, with the wind and chop, look more like a kite surfer's paradise than a paddle surfer's.
Hang in there, the end of the month is where it's at.

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.
