Table - best surf conditions forecast for Cabo Blanco over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks at Cabo Blanco.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – for the first 15 days of this outlook, it’s flat. Really, really flat. We’re talking a long stretch of nothing from July 9th all the way through to the morning of July 24th. The combined swell energy is sitting in the weak category (values like 12, 33, 7, even as low as 2 in the water), and the swell heights are mostly under 3 ft. The period is mostly short and weak, except for a few tiny pulses from the NW with a long period that just don’t have any size to them. Add in cross-shore winds most days, and it’s just not worth paddling out.
Now, there is a tiny glimmer. On Friday morning, July 24th, things finally change. The wind goes glassy – dead calm, offshore from the west at just 3 mph. The swell direction is NW, with a period of 16 seconds, which is a nice long groundswell. The height is small though, only about 1.3 ft, but the combined energy climbs to moderate (100). That's a big jump. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Still, glassy conditions at Cabo Blanco with that NW direction hitting the point, for an advanced crew, that’s a clean little window. But don’t get too excited – it’s not a standout, just the only real chance in the whole run.
Honestly, the best thing about this whole forecast is the water temp. At the start, it’s sitting at 74.1°F with a huge anomaly of 6.8° warmer than usual. That is very unusual for this time of year, so it’ll feel like a bath.
So, save your energy. The second week has a bit more energy in the water (into the moderate range, 108, 112) but the wind stays messy. The only real, clean shot is that glassy Friday morning on July 24th.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on that day.

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.
