The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this is a tough watch. We’ve got a 16-day window and, honestly, there’s not a single session that’s firing. The whole stretch is a flat spell with nothing to get excited about.
Starting from today, Wednesday the 5th, through to Thursday the 20th of August, it’s a long, dry run. The water temp at Cabo Blanco is sitting at 73°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year—that’s very unusual, almost like bath water. But the surf? Basically nothing. The combined swell energy is a measly 0 to 73 across the whole period, which is weak as dishwater. Most days show tiny 0.3ft to 3ft slop, mostly from the SW with periods so short—between 3 and 5 seconds—it’s just wind chop. There’s a little blip on Sunday afternoon the 9th with a 0.7ft swell from the WSW at 21 seconds, giving 73 energy, but it’s still “poor surf conditions” with a cross-shore wind. That long period would make it break straight at a beach, but it’s too small anyway.
The wind is a constant problem too—mostly cross-shore from the SSW or SW, blowing 9 to 25 mph, making it lumpy and choppy. There’s one glassy morning on Friday the 7th, but with only 0.3ft on offer, it’s a flat calm, not a wave. For a point break like Cabo Blanco that needs a solid NNW swell, this is a total bust. It’s a fairly consistent spot normally, but right now, it’s not breaking. This kind of blank run is unusual for the area, but forecasts can change—it tends not to stay this poor for long.
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.
