The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be honest with you, it’s a tough stretch ahead for Cabo Blanco. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle, with clean, rideable waves being almost non-existent. We’re looking at a long run of minimal energy and messy conditions.
The period starts on Thursday, 16 July, and it’s flat. There’s a tiny 0.3 ft NW swell early on but with a cross-shore breeze, it’s just not worth paddling out for. The combined energy is a measly 5, so there’s nothing to work with. This flat spell sets the tone for the first week.
The rest of July and into early August is a washout. The swell rarely gets above 1 ft, and when it does, it’s usually from the SW or WNW with periods all over the place. The wind is a constant problem, mostly cross-shore from the SSW or SW, often blowing a fresh 15 to 25 mph, which just kills any chance of a clean surface. The combined energy values are consistently low, staying in the double digits or low triple digits, and the label says "poor surf conditions" for every single record. There’s a few brief moments of cleaner, cross-offshore wind on the morning of 22 July and again on 26 July, but the swell is still only 1.0 ft to 1 ft – not enough to get excited about.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s normal. This is a blank run for Cabo Blanco. It’s a shame because when it’s on, this point break can handle a proper NNW groundswell, but we just don’t have the size or the wind alignment to make it happen. For a spot like this, a quiet period isn’t that unusual, but it’s frustrating to watch the forecast stay so flat for so long.
Stick to the skatepark for now, mate. Check back in a week or so.
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.
