The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days at Cabo Blanco are a tough watch. The forecast is pretty much all dry spells and no real wave energy to speak of. Looking at the whole run, there’s nothing that comes close to a proper surf session. The combined swell energy barely gets above 60 (weak) across the entire period, and when it does nudge up a little, the wind is always cross or cross-onshore, chewing up any tiny bumps. There’s a long gap from now right through to the end of the month with the same story: small, weak, and messy.
Your first real sniff of a wave doesn’t show up until Monday the 31st of August in the afternoon. Even then, it’s a meagre 0.7 ft from the WSW with a long period of 19 seconds – that kind of period can make a beach break a bit fat and straight, better suited to a point or reef. The combined energy is only 61 (still weak), and the wind is cross-shore from the SSW at 16 mph, so expect lumpy, frustrating conditions. Not a true stand-out. Nothing else in the second week looks any better.
Truth is, if you’re a kite surfer, that persistent cross-shore breeze and the choppy texture might give you something to play with, but for paddling, this is a blank run for Cabo Blanco. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d save the wax.

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.
