The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty comin’ at ya from the shores of Figueira da Foz. Let's break down what we've got cookin' here at Cabedelo over the next couple of weeks.

We’re looking at a pretty mixed bag, a bit of a slow start before things really fire up. The water is sittin' at 65°, which is a touch colder than usual for this time of year—about two and a half degrees off the norm, so don’t forget that extra layer for the early sessions.

Saturday the 12th is a non-starter, unfortunately. Tiny 4ft NW swell with a short period, and while the morning is glassy, the overall energy is weak (156). It’s just not worth paddling out for.

Sunday the 13th is where we start to see some life. The morning is the real gem here: clean as a whistle with offshore ESE breeze, a solid 3ft NW groundswell, and that period jumps to 13 seconds. The energy is moderate at 381, but skinny period like that means it'll hold up nicely on the bank. This is a proper standout session for the beginner to intermediate crew. The afternoon gets blown out with a cross-onshore wind, so get it early.

Monday the 14th morning is another glassy one, with no wind at all. The swell drops to 3ft but the period stays long at 11 seconds, and energy is moderate (241). It’ll be clean and fun for the longboard or a foamie.

The rest of that week, from Tuesday the 15th through to Friday the 18th, is pretty grim. Onshore winds, lumpy chop, and weak, messy swell. Wednesday the 16th actually sees a spike in size—8ft—but it’s accompanied by a brutal 19-22 mph cross-shore wind, making it a choppy, blown-out mess. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. The energy is strong at over 900, but the quality is zero.

Now, the real magic window starts Saturday the 19th morning. That’s a total turnaround. Clean, cross-offshore NNE breeze, 4ft NW swell with a beautiful 13-second groundswell period. Energy is pumping at 909. This is a standout—clean lines, proper power, and that long period will wrap in perfectly. It’s a dream session for anyone who knows their way around.

Sunday the 20th morning is another glassy, clean beauty with 5ft NW swell at 11 seconds (575 energy). It’s a great follow-up day.

But the real crown jewel is Monday the 21st in the morning. This is the highlight of the entire outlook. Glassy, offshore SE wind, a solid 6ft NW groundswell at a very long 13 seconds, with energy cranking at 1069. That’s excellent, powerful surf. It’s getting up there in size, so this one is for the experienced crew—beginners should sit this one out. The sets will have real punch and the long period will mean clean, lined-up walls at Cabedelo’s beach break. This is the day to mark on the calendar.

After that, the swell slowly backs off through the 22nd and into the 23rd. The 23rd September morning offers another glassy small window (2ft, 14-second period) for the longboarders, but it’s a far cry from the previous days. By the 24th and 25th, we’re down to tiny, weak leftovers, and the wind turns messy through the final weekend of the month.

Overall, the first week is a slow grind with a few clean mornings, but the second week—especially the 19th, 20th, and the big Monday the 21st—are absolute standouts. Get your schedule sorted for that Monday the 21st morning if you can. It’s gonna be special.
