The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about the surf ahead for Cabedelo. The whole 16-day stretch looks like a flat spell for the most part, with only a couple of moments that might get your heart rate up. We’re looking at a long gap of tiny, choppy, or just plain poor conditions, so don't be expecting any fireworks.

Right now, early on the 15th, we’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW, period a weak 9 seconds. The wind is glassy though, which is the only nice thing. The combined energy is a measly 40 (weak), and the call is "poor surf conditions." That sums up the vibe for the next week and a half. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wacky there.

The morning of the 19th sees a slight bump in energy, with a 4ft swell from the NNW, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore. The energy hits 185 (moderate), but it’s still a messy, poor surf situation. This pattern of small, weak, or onshore wind junk continues daily right through the 24th. All the mornings that do have glassy wind, like the 23rd, have no swell to speak of – just 1ft. It’s frustrating.

Now, the one standout in the whole window is the morning of the 26th of July. The swell picks up to a solid 7ft from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 483 (moderate to strong). The wind is cross-shore from the NNW at 12 mph, which is a big positive for keeping it reasonably clean. This is the biggest, most powerful swell of the outlook. However, at 7ft, it's getting into the zone that’s only really for the experienced crew. It’s not a beginner wave. The afternoon of the 25th also has a 6ft swell, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppier, so the 26th morning is the clear winner.

After that, the energy drops away fast. The 27th still has some 4ft swell, but by the 28th, it’s back to weak, wind-blown junk. The 26th morning is the only real window where you might want to paddle out, and even then, it’s for the more capable surfers. The rest of the time, the setup is more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers.

So, to wrap it up: keep your expectations low. The first week plus is a write-off. The only real chance for a wave is the morning of the 26th, but it’s a powerful one for the experienced guys only. This is a classic blank run for this area; forecasts can change, but for now, it’s quiet.

Rusty.
