The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call. Look, I'm not gonna lie to you – the next sixteen days are looking pretty flat for Cabo Blanco. The forecast is a long stretch of nothingness. We're talking about a big gap in quality surf. From now right through to the end of the first week of August, and beyond, it's all "poor surf conditions" with next to no energy.
The first real sniff of anything is on Monday, the 27th of July, but it's tiny. A 1ft SSW swell with a pathetic 5-second period is nothing to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 76°, which is way warmer than it should be for this time of year, so at least a dip won't be a shock.
Honestly, there's nothing here that's a standout. The best we can hope for is maybe a few cleaner moments on the 30th of July, Thursday afternoon, when a 3ft SW swell bumps up the energy to 42, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore, making it lumpy. Even then, it's a short period, wind-affected wave.
The pattern just keeps repeating: tiny swells, short periods, and cross-shore winds. The 4th of August has a 3ft SW swell again, but it's the same story – fresh cross-shore wind and a lumpy mess. It's a tough run. For a spot like this, a blank spell is a bit more normal, but it still stings.
There's just no swell to work with here. The combined energy for most of the period is under 26, which is weak. We're looking at a long stretch of glassy, flat mornings giving way to choppy, wind-blown afternoons. If you're a kite surfer, the afternoons with a fresh cross-shore and a bit of a bump might be more interesting than anything for a paddle board.
I wouldn't be paddling out for anything here in the next two weeks. Save your energy.

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.
