The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the Cabedelo region over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is a bit of a mixed bag. We've got a run of days where the swell is just too bumpy or blown out, but there are a few clear windows that are worth setting the alarm for. The water temp is sitting at a comfortable 69°, which is right about where you'd expect it for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real standout is Sunday morning, the 16th of August. We've got a 6 ft swell rolling in from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the ENE at just 3 mph. That's going to be clean, smooth, and perfect for a long session. The combined energy is moderate at 399, so there's some push there. For the beginners, this is a good size, and the glassy conditions mean it'll be a dream for learning.
Monday morning, the 17th, is another one to circle. The wind is dead calm, glassy again, and the swell is 5 ft from the NNW. It's a touch smaller, but the energy is still moderate at 288. It's a classic start to the week.
Now, if you're an experienced surfer and want something with a bit more power, keep an eye on Friday morning, the 21st of August. The swell is predicted to be 7 ft from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is strong at 576. However, the guidance says this might be too big for this break, so it's one for the more confident crew only. The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the NNW, which should keep things reasonably clean.
Looking further out, Saturday morning, the 29th of August, is a real wild card. The swell is 8 ft from the WNW with a very long 12-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 1406. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the SE at 3 mph, so it'll be clean. Again, this is a big, powerful swell and likely only for experts. It's a promising distant prospect, but forecasts can change over that timeframe.
Aside from those windows, the rest of the period is dominated by moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions, or the swell is just too small to be worth the paddle. There's a gap of several days from the 22nd through to the 25th where the conditions are pretty ordinary, so don't stress about missing out.
Stay sharp, and I'll see you in the water.
