The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Cabo Blanco all morning. Right now, and for the next 16 days, I’ve got to be straight with you – the surf is flat as a tack. There’s nothing on offer.
We’ve got a big fat zero wave energy across the whole run, with the combined energy barely tickling double digits for most days – that’s a weak to very weak energy score, and most readings are just a measly 7 to maybe 66 at its best. The swell heights are tiny, mostly 0.3 ft to 3 ft, with periods all over the place but coming from directions that just don’t line up for this point break. The optimum swell direction for Cabo Blanco (Peru) is from the NNW, but we’re seeing swells from NW, SW, and even WNW, all too small and weak to do anything with.
Winds are pretty much cross-shore or cross-off for the whole stretch, with a few glassy moments on the mornings of August 6th and August 11th. On those days, we get flat water but with zero swell pushing in, there’s nothing to break. Water temp is sitting at a balmy 75°F, which is a whopping 9°F warmer than normal – far warmer than usual for this time of year, so you could swim, but don’t bother paddling out.
It’s a painful run. From Wednesday morning July 29th all the way through to Thursday afternoon August 13th, every single session is labelled “poor surf conditions” with a score of zero out of ten. There are no standouts, no hidden gems. If you’ve got a kite, the afternoons with fresh breezes and lumpy chop might be more interesting for that than for a paddle board, but for proper surfing? Best to take the 16 days off and wait for a better forecast – these blank spells happen here.
Rusty.

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.
