The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for Cabo Blanco, and the next 16 days are a tough sell. Honestly, it’s a long stretch of flat, messy water. Don’t get your hopes up.

The water temp is running at 75°, which is much warmer than average for this time of year. Feels like a warm bath, but that’s the only good thing going.

Right now, on Sunday the 26th, we’ve got a 3ft swell from the southwest, but it’s a short, weak 4-second windswell. The wind is blowing 30 km/h from the SSW, making a real chop on the surface. The wave energy is only 18 – it’s a total washout.

Monday the 27th is flat. Zero energy in the morning, and a tiny 2ft swell in the afternoon with more cross-onshore wind. It’s choppy and ugly.

From Tuesday the 28th through the end of the week, it’s a dead zone. We’re looking at tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft swells. The wind is either cross or cross-onshore, creating nothing but lumpy, bumpy conditions. The wave energy barely gets into the double digits. It’s a blank run.

We finally see a pulse on the 2nd of August. Sunday morning has a 1ft swell from the northwest with an 11-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore, making it clean. The energy is a bit better at 31. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still just a knee-high ripple. The afternoon gets a 4ft southwest swell, but the period drops back to 4 seconds, and the wind picks up to 25 km/h from the cross. It’s messy.

The 3rd and 4th of August are a repeat – small, weak swells in the morning, a bit more size in the afternoon, but always with a cross or cross-onshore wind that ruins the face. The energy hits 65 and 70, but it’s all windswell, so it’s a bumpy, lumpy mess.

The 5th of August morning is a tease. We get a 1ft groundswell from the northwest (11 seconds) with a glassy surface. The wind is a whisper at 5 km/h. The water is flat, but it’s the cleanest flat you’ll see. The afternoon gets ruined by a cross-shore wind.

The 6th of August morning is the same – glassy but a tiny 1ft swell. It’s a beautiful, calm ocean, but there’s no wave.

The 7th of August onward just fades back into the same pattern of tiny, weak windswells and cross-shore winds. The 8th and 9th have a couple of clean windows with cross-offshore winds, but the waves are so small it’s not worth paddling out.

For the entire 16-day forecast, there is no standout session. The wind is working against us almost every day, and the swell is either too small or too weak. Beginners, there’s nothing here. Experts, you’ll be fighting for a knee-high crumbly wave. This is a time to wait for a better forecast.

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.
