The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for our local stretch.

We’re looking at a quiet start, with a bit of a wait before things get interesting. The first real surfable window shows up on the morning of Saturday the 5th, but honestly, it’s not much to write home about. The swell is small at 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy is weak (169). The wind is glassy though, which is a nice touch, but the waves are just ordinary. Don’t get your hopes up.

The pattern stays pretty subdued for the next several days. Through Sunday and Monday the swell picks up a little, but the wind is all cross or cross-onshore, making things choppy and messy. The energy builds to moderate levels (448 on Sunday morning, 821 on Monday morning), but the conditions just aren’t there. It’s frustrating to watch.

We hit a real rough patch from Tuesday the 8th through to Friday the 11th. The wind is consistently fresh and cross-shore, with lumpy chop. The swell is there, 4ft to 6ft, but the quality is poor. The energy is moderate (328 to 402), but it’s all blown out. Not worth paddling out for.

Now, the first standout of the outlook arrives on the morning of Saturday the 12th. The wind swings to a cross-offshore direction, and the surf cleans up nicely. The swell is 5ft from the NW, period of 8 seconds, and the energy is moderate (306). It’s not the biggest swell, but the clean conditions make it paddle-worthy. The morning of Sunday the 13th also has clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is a bit smaller at 4ft.

The real highlight, the one you’ve been waiting for, is the morning of Monday the 14th. The forecast is showing excellent surf conditions. The swell is up to 6ft from the NW, period of 8 seconds, with a moderate energy (597) and a gentle cross-offshore wind. This is a solid, clean, and fun day at Cabedelo. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook.

But hold on, the next two days get interesting in a different way. Tuesday the 15th morning and Wednesday the 16th morning both see a clean, glassy or light offshore wind, with a solid 7ft swell from the NNW. That’s a meaty wave. The energy is strong (707 on Tuesday, 1073 on Wednesday). However, this swell is over 7ft, so it’s getting into the expert-only zone, and the forecast notes that the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. For the experienced crew, those mornings could be a serious session, but for the average surfer, it’s time to sit this one out.

After that, the swell drops off quickly. The morning of Friday the 18th is clean and cross-offshore with a smaller 4ft swell, and the energy is moderate (312). It’s a good option, but not a standout. The final few days fade into small, weak swell (2ft to 3ft) with very low energy (93 to 127). The wind is clean on the morning of Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th, but the waves are just too small to get excited about.

So, to sum it up: the best bet is the morning of Monday the 14th for a clean, solid, fun session. For the big-wave hunters, the mornings of the 15th and 16th could be special, but only if you’re comfortable in overhead surf. The rest of the window is mostly a write-off, with a few clean but small windows around the 12th, 13th, and 18th. Keep an eye on the wind, because when it’s offshore, it’s the only time it’s worth it.

Rusty.
