The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Cabo Blanco over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is one of those outlooks where we're staring down the barrel of a long, quiet spell. The graphs are flat, the energy is weak, and frankly, there's not a single session across the whole sixteen days that I'd paddle out for. We're looking at a blank run from the start right through to the very end of the forecast period on the 25th of August.
The water temperature is about 74°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – over seven degrees up, so you'd be in boardies for sure, but you won't be needing them for the waves.
Right from Monday the 10th, we get a little bump of 5ft from the SW, but it's coming in at a short, weak 5 seconds with a nasty 28 mph cross-shore. The combined swell energy is a measly (82), and the forecast is calling it poor. It doesn't get any better. Tuesday the 11th is a drop to nothing, and from Wednesday the 12th onwards, we're looking at flat spells or tiny, short-period windswell that's barely a ripple. The wind is almost always a problem – cross, cross-off, or cross-on – and rarely light enough to clean things up.
There's a moment on Sunday the 16th morning where the wind goes cross-off and clean, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft of long-period NW groundswell. You'd have a prettier time looking at a puddle.
Even the longer-range promises fall flat. A bit of a 2ft SW bump on Thursday the 20th afternoon, but it's lumpy with fresh cross-shore breeze. Then on Tuesday the 25th, we get a 0.7ft swell with a very long 20-second period from the WSW, but again it's crossed up and weak (combined energy 41).
When there's zero consistency and the setup is constantly blown out, small, and weak, it's just not worth wetting a suit for. A full sixteen days with nothing rideable is a tough stretch, but it happens here. Keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this poor forever.
Stay dry for now,
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.
