The Lowdown

Alright, let's take a look at what we've got coming down the line.

Right off the bat, it's a bit of a mixed bag for Cabedelo. The next week or so is mostly gonna be about dodging the wind and the chop. Our real standout window doesn't open up until the first weekend of September.

Let's break it down. For the next several days, from Saturday the 29th right through to the 5th of September, it's basically a write-off. The wind is just a mess – mostly cross and cross-onshore, chopping everything up. You get a little 5ft NW swell on Saturday morning but it's already pretty average with a cross-off wind. After that, it’s a lot of 4ft to 5ft NW windswell with moderate breezes. There's a few isolated windows, but overall, the quality is poor. I'd say plan to have a few beers on the beach instead.

Now, here's a glimmer. On the morning of Saturday the 5th of September, things calm right down. The wind goes glassy with a NNE breeze at just 3 mph, and we've got a tiny but super clean 2ft WNW swell with a decent 9-second period. The combined energy is pretty weak at 151, but man, that glassy surface makes it look like fun little rights and lefts for a longboard or a foamie. It's a good one for the beginners out there.

But the real highlight – and I mean the one to circle on your calendar – is the morning of Sunday the 6th of September. The period jumps to 11 seconds on that 4ft NW swell, giving it some real push (combined energy of 273). The wind is glassy again, this time from the ENE at just 3 mph. This is going to be clean, lined-up, and fun. The swell direction from the NW is right on the money for Cabedelo's optimum. This is the pick of the whole forecast.

After that, the wind turns messy again, though on Tuesday the 8th of September, the swell jumps right up to 7ft NW. The problem is, that's too big for Cabedelo, especially with the cross-shore wind. It's a pass for surfing unless you've got a tow rope.

Then, deep in the second week, on Sunday the 13th of September, the forecast shows a big 8ft W groundswell with a solid 12-second period. But that's way over the top for this break, and the cross-shore wind won't help. It's one for the experts only if you can find a sheltered corner, but don't hold your breath. That one's still a long way out, so let's see what happens.

Bottom line: Don't fight the wind this week. Save your energy for the 6th of September. That Sunday morning is gonna be a beauty.

Rusty.
