The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Caballeros in feet and miles per hour.
The first week is a bit of a dud. From the 22nd to the 26th of August, you’re looking at small, weak surf with a light cross-on breeze that just chops things up. The water is 69°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, a real anomaly of 7°F. Not worth paddling out for.
The tide turns on the 27th of August. You start seeing longer period swell, but the wind is still cross-on. The real green light is Friday the 28th. We get a 7ft swell from the SW, period of 16 seconds, and the wind goes offshore in the morning. The combined energy is 1999 (strong) – that’s a proper groundswell hitting this reef. Saturday the 29th holds the same size at 7ft with offshore wind again. This is the best stretch of the whole forecast. The swell is over 5ft, so it’s not for the groms.
The energy backs off a bit through the 30th and 31st, but the 31st of August morning shows a 7ft pulse from the S, period 9 seconds, with offshore wind. The combined energy is 1149 (strong), but that shorter period might make it a bit crumbly. The 1st of September drops to 5ft, still with offshore wind in the morning.
The second week gets a huge spike on the 3rd of September. Sizes of 7ft to 7ft from the SW, period 18 seconds, and the combined energy is 2804 (very strong). That’s a heavy groundswell with light cross-on wind. It’s a long way out, but it’s one to watch. The 4th and 5th keep the size up but the period drops, and it fades into the 6th.
Crowds are sometimes a factor at Caballeros, so on the good days, you won’t be alone. The call is clear: Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th of August are the ones to circle, with the 3rd of September as a long-range maybe.

Information about the Caballeros Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Caballeros provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Caballeros can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Caballeros 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 (Caballeros) 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 Caballeros 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.
