The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here again. Let's size up Caballeros for the next couple of weeks.
Water temperature is about normal for the season, so no thermal surprises.
We start off slow. The first real surf to talk about is on Tuesday, the 14th of July. There's a long-period groundswell from the SW with a 16-second period, giving it some real power (840 combined energy units). The wave height is around 3ft to 4ft that morning, but it's a cross-on wind. It's a marginal call—tide might be a factor.
The pattern holds through the week. From Wednesday the 15th to Sunday the 19th, we get a consistent 5ft to 6ft SSW swell, with periods settling into a solid 12 to 13 seconds. The combined energy stays in the moderate-to-strong range (around 700 to 970). The wind stays light cross-on from the SSW or S. Not perfect, but not blown out. The break is fairly consistent, and crowds are only occasional.
The best window is Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th of July. On Saturday morning we get a brief period of light onshore wind (SW at 6 mph) with a 5ft swell. But Sunday morning is the peak: a 6ft SSW groundswell with a 12-second period, light cross-on wind, and combined energy of 862. That's the biggest, most consistent push of the forecast. It's clean enough to be a good session.
For you beginners: 6ft is getting into the zone where it can be a handful. Respect it.
After the 19th, it tapers off. Monday the 20th drops to 4ft, and energy cuts in half to 400. By afternoon, the wind picks up to 9 mph and it gets choppy—total zero. The middle of the week (21st-23rd) is small and marginal.
There's a late resurgence on Friday the 24th of July. The afternoon jumps to a 5ft SSW groundswell with a 14-second period, and the combined energy spikes hard to 1096. But the wind is a 9 mph cross-on, making it choppy again. Tempting, but not clean.
The last weekend of the month (25th-26th) has 4ft to 5ft swell with onshore wind, which is just okay. It goes poor again from the 27th onward.
So, the standout is clear: Sunday morning the 19th of July. A solid 6ft SSW groundswell (12-second period) with light cross-on wind. It's consistent, packs a punch (862 energy), and crowds are only a sometime thing. It's the best wave in the water.
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.
