The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s break down the next 16 days for Cabedelo.
Right off the bat, it’s a quiet start. The first bit of surf that’s actually worth paddling out for falls on the morning of Monday the 27th. Before that, the ocean’s just not giving us anything. You’re looking at a couple of days of real small stuff after that, with not much to get excited about until the window opens.
That Monday morning session on the 27th is your standout, and honestly, it’s the best you’ll see for a long while. The swell is a clean 4ft from the NNW, running at a short, punchy 6 seconds. The wind is glassy from the southeast at just 3 mph, making for clean, smooth faces. It’s a beginner-friendly break anyway, and the water is sitting at 71°, a solid 4° warmer than normal for this time of year which is a treat. The combined wave energy is moderate at 200.
The rest of the week plays out messy. The afternoons get cross-onshore wind, and conditions get chopped up and lumpy. By Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st, the swells drop away entirely, barely pushing 1ft to 2ft with weak energy. There’s a tiny window on the morning of Saturday the 1st with a glassy 2ft swell, but it’s hardly something to plan a trip around.
Looking into August, the swell picks up a bit but the wind keeps ruining it. From the 6th to the 11th, the swell builds to 5ft to 7ft from the NNW and NW, with combined energy climbing into the strong zone (500 to 694). But it’s constantly cross or cross-on wind, mostly blowing 12 to 22 mph. That’s just not clean surf. The morning of Tuesday the 11th sees a 5ft NW swell with a cross-offshore wind and clean conditions, which is the next real glimmer, but the energy is still strong at 507.
Overall, Monday morning the 27th is your one and only true standout. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or both. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a lean run, but that one glassy morning makes it worthwhile if you can get there.
