The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Caballos.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a 16-day window, but it’s a long, dry spell for any decent surf. For the first week and a half, from Monday the 27th of July right through to the 6th of August, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The energy is weak, mostly under 100 (102) or just creeping into low-moderate (267), and the wave comment keeps calling it "poor surf conditions". Winds are a solid cross-off from the east, which is clean, but the swell is tiny, short-period, and just not cooperating. It’s a frustrating blank run.
The only flicker of a pulse comes on Saturday the 1st of August afternoon. The combined energy bumps up to 371 (moderate), swell height is a small 4 ft from the E, period at 8 seconds. But even then, it’s only a "marginal" call. It’s not enough to get excited about.
Then we hit Sunday the 8th of August. This is the one window worth pointing a finger at. Thursday the 6th of August morning shows a brief spike in energy (243), but the real standout is Saturday the 8th of August. The swell holds at 5 ft from the ENE, period 6-7 seconds, with combined energy hitting 212. The wind is still a stiff cross-off, so the surface will be clean. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, and with that wind and swell, honestly, this looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session. The crowds are listed as "sometimes", so if you’re a local you might have it to yourself.
The water temperature is sitting at 84°F with an anomaly of 1°F, so that’s about average for this time of year.
After that, the energy drops again through the 10th and 11th of August, with nothing to shout about. The last few days show a tiny 2 ft swell from the NE with a period of 10 seconds, but the energy is weak (49), and it’s a no-go.
So, the bottom line: there’s no real green light in this 16-day forecast for Caballos. If you’re desperate, the 8th of August is the best you’ll find, but don’t expect grinding barrels. The setup looks more suited to a kite. For a wave count, it’s a lean run, but in this area, that’s normal.
Rusty.

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