G’day, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days at Cabo Blanco are looking pretty grim. We’re talking a full fortnight of poor surf conditions, day after day. There’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for, so if you’re jonesing for a wave, you’d better look elsewhere.
The whole period is a write-off. From Monday 6 July right through to Tuesday 21 July, every single session is rated poor. The swell is tiny, mostly wobbling in at 0.3 ft to 3 ft, with short, weak periods. The direction is all over the place – SW, NW, WNW – but it doesn’t matter because the wave energy is pathetic. The best combined energy we see is 61 (July 20 afternoon) and 67 (July 21 morning), which is still weak, and those are the highest numbers. Most days it’s in the teens or twenties. The wind is mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore, often a moderate breeze, with a cross-chop or lumpy conditions. There are a couple of glassy moments on Tuesday 7 July morning and Monday 13 July morning, but with waves at 0.3 ft and 0.7 ft, it’s flat and not rideable.
The water temperature is a whopping 74°F on the first day, which is 6°F warmer than normal – that’s very unusual for this time of year. But you won’t be in the water anyway.
This is a point break, exposed to the swell, and it’s fairly consistent here, so a blank run like this is a bit of a surprise. But the numbers don’t lie. There’s no standout, no highlight, nothing to get excited about. If you’re a kite surfer, the moderate cross-shore winds might offer something, but for paddle surfing, it’s a hard no.
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.
