The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s shaping up for our little slice of the coast over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so let’s get into it straight up.

For the first few days, it’s pretty flat and ordinary. The swell is small and the winds are all wrong, making for some pretty messy conditions. You’re not missing much if you give it a miss until Thursday morning.

The first real window of opportunity pops up on Thursday the 13th of August. It’s not going to be huge, with waves around 3ft from the WNW, but the wind will be glassy in the morning. That’s a major positive, meaning the surf will be clean and smooth. The combined energy is moderate at 220, so there’s enough push for a fun session on a longboard or a fish. This is a beginner-friendly break, so it’s a good chance for the less experienced to get some clean waves.

The swell starts to build over the weekend. Friday the 14th is marginal with cross-shore winds, not really worth getting excited about. Saturday the 15th of August sees a jump in size, with the morning offering 8ft from the NW, but that's getting a bit too big for this spot. The combined energy is strong at 699. The wind is cross-shore and the report says it’s too big for the break. It might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with that kind of power and chop. Sunday the 16th is similar – 7ft from the NNW with clean, cross-offshore wind in the morning, but again, it's pushing the limits for this beginner-friendly break.

After that big pulse, things settle down a bit. Tuesday the 18th of August looks promising with 4ft from the NNW and clean offshore wind from the East in the morning. The energy is moderate at 235. It’s a good, manageable size for Cabedelo, and the offshore wind will groom the waves nicely. The water temperature is about 69°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The rest of the second week is a bit of a write-off. The winds turn onshore and choppy again, and the swell drops off. There’s a long gap with no real recommendations from the 19th through to the 24th. You might see some small waves on the 25th of August, with a mere 2ft from the NNW and clean conditions, but it’s pretty weak (95 energy). It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

Further out, there’s a little pulse forecast for the morning of the 27th of August, with 7ft from the NNW, but the wind is cross-shore and it’s likely to be a choppy mess. Not worth planning your week around at this stage.

So, if I had to pick a standout, it’s a toss-up between Thursday the 13th and Tuesday the 18th of August. Both offer clean conditions with manageable swell. Thursday has the glassy, perfect morning, while Tuesday has the offshore wind. Either way, get on it if you can.

Rusty.
