The Lowdown
Alright, let’s put that in feet and miles an hour.
Right now, Cabedelo is flat-lining for the most part. The next couple of weeks are mostly rubbish – cross-onshore winds, chop, and weak swell. The combined energy starts puny at 90, and even when it bumps up into moderate range (268 by the 6th, 329 by the 14th), the wind stays messy.
The only real standout, and I mean the only one, is Monday morning, August 17th. That morning is glassy – dead calm with a light SSW breeze at just 3 mph. Swell hits 10 feet from the NNW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 1081 – that’s strong, no joke. But 10 feet on a beach break at Cabedelo is expert territory only. Way too big for beginners, and even experienced surfers will need to be on their game. Water temp is about 68°, pretty normal for this time of year.
Sunday the 16th has some hope – 7 to 7 foot swell with moderate energy – but winds are cross or onshore, so it’s messy. The 16th morning is marginal at best.
The first nine or ten days are a total write-off. You’re looking at a long gap of poor conditions until that Monday the 17th rolls in. If you’re experienced and want a big, glassy slab, that’s your moment. For everyone else, stay on the sand.
