Character
01Cabedelo is defined by left + right peaks near the jetty over sand beside a river entrance. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.
Best setup
02W–NW swell, e–se offshore and low to mid · moving form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.6–2.2 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.
Lineup read
03Match the active peak to your ability and leave space for other surfers in the water. Pay particular attention to river outflow, jetty current, shifting sandbars. Local signs and advice always take priority.
