The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s brewing for Cabedelo over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, don’t get too excited about today. Tuesday afternoon is a write-off with messy cross-shore winds and weak, short-period swell – total dud.
The real story starts Wednesday the 16th. We’ve got a serious pulse of swell building overnight. Wednesday morning is the first standout of the whole outlook. You’re looking at a solid 8 ft swell from the NNW with a very strong combined energy reading (1031). It’s gonna be a big one. However, the guidance warns it might actually be too much juice for this setup, pushing it into expert-only territory. The cross-off wind (NNE) is a bonus, keeping things clean for those who are game.
Thursday the 17th morning offers another window with 7 ft from the NW and clean conditions under a cross-off breeze (NNE). The energy is still hefty (777), but the size is a bit more manageable than Wednesday. This is your best bet for a solid session if you want power without the maxed-out chaos.
Friday the 18th drops off a touch in size, but look at that afternoon: a 7 ft NW swell with a very long period of 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy packing a punch (1545). It’ll be a bit tricky with the cross-shore wind, but those long-period lines will be rifling down the beach. A good one for the experienced crew.
Then we hit the jackpot for the true standouts. Saturday the 19th morning is magic. 7 ft of NW swell, but with an easterly offshore wind making it absolutely glassy. The period is a dreamy 14 seconds, and the energy is massive (1733). This has “dawn patrol of the season” written all over it. Sunday the 20th morning is nearly as good: 5 ft NW swell, clean offshore wind, and long 12-second intervals. Perfect for everyone who isn’t a raw beginner.
Looking further ahead, next week sees the pattern mellow out with smaller waist-to-chest high waves, but the mornings look clean with light offshore or glassy conditions, especially on Wednesday the 23rd morning with a 5 ft WNW swell, glassy conditions, and that long 14-second period. The 28th Monday morning also offers a clean 5 ft NW swell.
Overall, there’s a big gap of no good surf for the first day, but then a fantastic run from Wednesday the 16th through to Monday the 21st. The absolute top shelf is the Saturday 19th morning session. Clean, powerful, long-period NW groundswell – that’s the one to circle on the calendar. Get on it.
