The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a proper look at what’s on offer for Cabo Blanco over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. The forecast is showing a real flat spell with hardly any rideable surf for the whole 16-day window. The first week is a write-off, and the second week doesn’t look much better. We’re stuck with tiny, weak swell and a lot of cross-shore wind that’s going to mess up whatever little bumps there are.
The first bit of anything that might get you excited is on the morning of Saturday, August 9th, but that’s a full 12 days away. That morning, we’ve got a glassy, calm sea with no wind and no swell at all. After that, there’s a faint pulse of very long-period energy from the WSW on the 10th, hitting 0.7 ft with a period of 21 seconds, but the combined energy is only 63 – that’s weak. The swell is from the WSW, but the optimum for this spot is a clean NNW, so it’s coming from the wrong angle. The cross-offshore wind on the 8th and the glassy morning on the 9th are about the only times the conditions look clean, but there’s simply no wave height to work with.
The water temp is sitting at 76°F, which is a whopping 10°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s seriously unusual, so you won’t need a wetsuit, but you will need a prayer for some swell.
The bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window for Cabo Blanco. It’s a classic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. On the bright side, Cabo Blanco is a fairly consistent point break, so this kind of blank run is unusual for the area. Forecasts can change, and a good swell might pop up, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
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.
