The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Caballeros.
Honestly, the next week and a half are looking pretty flat and messy. We’ve got a long stretch here with nothing really worth paddling out for. From Wednesday the 19th all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 27th, the swell is just too small and weak, with the combined energy barely getting into the hundreds and the wind is a persistent cross-on. It's a quiet spell, so don't expect much.
Now, things start to look a bit more interesting right at the very end of the month and into September. The first real standout shows up on Friday the 28th of August. The morning session is looking the best of the whole run. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell coming from the SW, with a period of 17 seconds. That’s a nice, long groundswell, and with the wind blowing onshore from the WSW at only 6 mph, it should keep things pretty clean. The combined energy is a strong 1976 (moderate to strong). It’s a reef break that's fairly consistent and exposed to that SW swell, so it should be handling that energy well. The afternoon builds a bit to 7ft, still with that long 16-second period, and the wind stays light and onshore. It's a promising window, but being a week and a half out, don't lock it in just yet.
Saturday the 29th holds similar size, with 8ft in the morning from the SW and a 14-second period. The wind is a light cross-on from the SSW, so it won't be perfect, but the energy is still very strong (2229). This is still good, solid surf.
After that, it starts to ease back down. The morning of Thursday the 3rd of September shows a pulse of 5ft from the SW with a very long 17-second period and a combined energy of 1315, but it's a cross-on breeze again.
Overall, if you can wait, the last few days of August are your best bet for some proper groundswell. The rest of the period is a write-off. Hang tight.
Rusty.

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.
