The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve got the 16-day look for Cabo Blanco, and I’ll be straight with you—it’s about as quiet as a flat day in a bathtub. This is a top-shelf point break, advanced-level stuff, and it’s consistent when it gets going, but right now we’re staring at a long, dry spell. The first actual surf worth mentioning is nowhere to be seen; the whole forecast window is filled with “poor surf conditions” and scores of zero across the board. From Monday the 24th of August all the way through to Tuesday the 8th of September, there’s no real wave action. That’s over two weeks of nothing. In an area like this, a blank run that long is more normal for the season, so don’t be too gutted—forecasts can shift.
Cabo Blanco itself needs a solid swell from the NNW to really fire, but the only energy we see is weak cross-shore windswell from the SW, with combined energy readings barely breaking 50 (49 on the 24th afternoon). The water’s sitting at 75° right now, which is a whopping 10° warmer than normal—that’s far warmer than usual for this time of year, almost freakish. On the 8th of September morning, we get a brief glassy moment with light wind from the W at 3 mph, but the swell is a tiny 0.3 ft from the NW with a period of 10 seconds, giving a combined energy of only 4. That’s not a wave, mate, it’s a ripple. No standout session to point to. If you’re after paddle surfing, you’re better off waiting. This setup would actually be more interesting for kite surfing than paddling, given the consistent cross-shore winds and the total lack of surfable swell.
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.
