Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: this is a tricky outlook for the next couple weeks. We've got a solid, exposed point break to work with, but the conditions just aren't lining up for a good session for a long while. It's gonna be a quiet time on the water.
Right now, and for the foreseeable future, there's nothing doing. The swell is tiny, weak, and mixed up with poor winds. We're looking at a long dry spell with no decent surf recommendations at all for the entire 16-day forecast period. That's a big gap, so don't hold your breath. Don't even bother checking the surf cam for the next week and a half.
Now, let's look at the very end of the forecast window. On Monday, July 20th, we finally see a pulse of energy. Cabo Blanco (point break), is showing some northwest groundswell. The morning session sees the combined swell energy climbing to a moderate 123, with a 1 ft swell from the NW and a period of 21 seconds. That's a very long period groundswell, which usually means real power and shape, but at a point break like this, it could be beautiful. The wind is cross-offshore from the south at 16 mph, so it should be clean. That said, this is a long-range call, so don't bet the farm on it. The afternoon on the 20th stays clean-ish but the energy drops back a bit and the wind picks up.
There's nothing else worth getting excited about. The water temperature is a standout, though – a solid 3° warmer than normal for this time of year, hitting 23°C (74°F). That's very unusual, so you won't need a thick wetsuit, that's for sure.
Keep the board in the bag for now. If that late pulse on the 20th firms up, it could be a surprise, but we've got a long wait ahead.

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