The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ at Praia de Camburi for the next couple weeks. I’ll be fair dinkum – it’s a slow start, and the real action doesn’t kick in until the second week.
The water’s runnin’ a touch cooler than normal, about 1° colder than average, so you’ll want an extra layer.
The first halfway decent window comes Friday 28 August morning. Clean conditions with a light north breeze, and a small 3ft swell from the SSE. The combined energy is weak (252), and it’s not the ideal direction for this spot, but it’s surfable. There’s a chance you’ll see a few others out.
After that, it goes dead quiet. From Friday afternoon straight through to Thursday 4 September, it’s mostly tiny waves and funky winds. You might get a small window on Saturday 5 September morning with clean conditions and a 2ft SSE swell at a nice 12-second period. The energy is still weak (143), but the long period will give it some shape. Not bad, but not a standout.
Sunday 6 September morning offers a 3ft easterly swell with a short 6-second period and light offshore winds. The energy is weak (120). Short period means the waves will be a bit soft and close together. Surfable, but ordinary.
Another lull hits from Monday 7 September through Wednesday 9 September morning – tiny, poor conditions.
Then we get the real gem. Wednesday 9 September afternoon. A 2ft swell from the ESE, but the period is a whoppin’ 17 seconds. That’s groundswell gold. The combined energy is moderate (335), and the wind is fresh offshore from the NE. Clean, glassy conditions. This is the best day of the whole outlook. For a sheltered spot like this, that long period will wrap in nicely, though it can break a bit straight on a beach setup. Expect a few other folks out.
Thursday 10 September keeps it going with a 4ft ESE swell, still long at 15 seconds, and fresh offshore NE winds. The energy is strong (557). Tide might be tricky, but the power’s there. This is a serious window for anyone who can read the water.
Friday 11 September sees a 6ft ESE swell, but the period drops to 8 seconds – more of a windswell. The energy is strong (519) and the offshore winds hold. That size is gettin’ up there for beginners, and the short period means the waves will be a bit sectiony. Still surfable, but Thursday is the cleaner pick.
Bottom line: Wednesday 9 September afternoon and Thursday 10 September are the standouts. That long period groundswell with offshore winds is your best bet. Don’t get your hopes up before that.
Rusty.

Information about the Praia de Camburi Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Praia de Camburi provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Praia de Camburi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Praia de Camburi surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Praia de Camburi) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Praia de Camburi may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
