The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, hard look at what’s coming up for Cabo Blanco.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty bleak stretch ahead. The first real chance for a paddle comes on Wednesday the 22nd, but it’s a weak one. We’ve got a tiny 1ft swell rolling in from the NW with a very long 19-second period, giving us a combined energy reading of 113. That’s groundswell, no doubt, and those long periods mean the energy is there, but the size is just too small to get excited about. The morning looks best with a light 9 mph cross-off breeze from the S, keeping things clean. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
After that Wednesday morning window, it’s a tough slog. We’re looking at a solid nine-day gap with next to nothing worth paddling out for. From Thursday the 23rd right through to Tuesday the 4th of August, every session is flagged as poor. The swell stays tiny, the wind is always cross or cross-on, and it’s just lumpy, choppy, and messy. A few times the energy drops to nearly zero, with a 0ft reading on the 26th and 27th. It’s a real desert.
Then, finally, on Tuesday morning, August 4th, we get a little glimmer. The swell is still only 2ft from the NW, with an 11-second period, giving us a combined energy of 63. Nothing special on the numbers. But the wind goes glassy. That’s a huge positive. A 3 mph glass-off from the WSW means the surface will be like a mirror. For a spot like this, that’s the best you’re going to get in this window. It’s still a wave for the small-wave gear, but it’ll be clean and fun for a sneaky session. That’s your standout, and it’s the only one. After that, it’s back to poor conditions for the rest of the forecast.
It’s a tough run, but that Tuesday morning glass-off is the one to circle.
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.
