The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, taking a look at what's shaping up at Cabedelo for the next couple of weeks.
It'll be a quiet start with a few iffy days. Water temp is running about normal for the season at 67°F, nothing unusual there.
The first window that gets my blood pumping is the morning of Sunday the 23rd. We've got a clean 5ft swell coming from the west with a 10-second period. The wind is light and coming off the land from the SSE, which will keep the surface glassy. You can expect some company in the water, though – crowds are a possibility. The combined energy is moderate (428), so plenty of punch. That's your best call early on.
Then it goes a bit ugly from the 24th through the 29th, with wind and swell patterns out of whack. Then, fast forward to Monday the 31st of August. That Monday morning is looking like a gem. It's dead calm, glassy conditions with a light north breeze, and a solid 5ft groundswell from the northwest with a 10-second period. The energy is moderate (465) and you’ll have clean, lined-up waves. Lock that one in.
Further ahead, on Thursday the 3rd of September, we see a bigger 7ft NW swell (10 seconds) with light cross-offshore wind. The energy is high (964), but the call says it’s probably pushing the limits for this spot, making it an expert-only session.
So, your pick of the weeks: Sunday the 23rd morning and Monday the 31st morning. The rest is mainly waiting around for things to clean up.
