The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Cabo Blanco over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough outlook. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions ahead, with no real standout sessions to get excited about. The first real surfable window doesn't even show up until the morning of Monday, 21 July, and even then, it’s just a whisper of a wave.
The water is a weird story, though. For a spot like Cabo Blanco, the water temp is sitting at a very unusual 74°, which is a massive 7° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a real anomaly, feels more like a tropical swimming pool than a classic point break.
Alright, let's run through the few moments that aren't a total write-off.
On Monday morning, 21 July, we get a tiny pulse of swell. The combined energy is weak (97), with a 1 ft NW groundswell. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, which is the best we’ll see all forecast, keeping things clean. But it’s small, inconsistent, and for an advanced break like this, it’s barely a ripple. Still, if you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window.
The other half-decent chance comes much later, on Wednesday morning, 29 July. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the wave comment says "clean." But the swell is a pathetic 0.7 ft from the WNW with a 13-second period. The energy is tiny (16). It’s a truly flat, glassy morning. You’d be surfing bathwater.
The rest of the forecast is a constant battle with cross-shore winds, lumpy chop, and virtually no swell. The combined energy never gets above 167, and that’s with a messy cross-shore breeze. The swell direction is mostly from the NW, which is a far cry from the optimum NNW direction this point needs to really fire. The short-period windswell on the 1st of August and beyond is just not worth the drive.
For a spot that’s known for its consistency, this is a real dry spell. Nothing to get excited about.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
