The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim overall for Cabo Blanco. We’re staring down the barrel of a long stretch with hardly any decent surf. The first real opportunity doesn’t pop up until the morning of Friday, September 11th, and even then it’s nothing to write home about.
The combined energy of the swell is sitting at a weak 69, so don’t expect any power. We’re looking at a tiny 2 ft swell coming from the NW with a 12-second period – that’s a proper groundswell, but the size is just too small to get excited about. The real standout here is the wind. On Friday morning, it’s dead glassy (3 mph), which is a major positive. The water temperature is a very unusual 76°F, which is a massive 11°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real anomaly.
Now, because the swell is that small and the period is long, this NW groundswell might break a little too straight for a beach break, but Cabo Blanco is a point break, so it should be fine. The main issue is that this is an advanced spot, and it’s often crowded, so you’ll have company out there. Still, for this whole forecast period, Friday morning is the best you’re going to get. After that, conditions drop right back into the cross-shore chop and poor surf, with no real highlights on the horizon.
All in all, it’s a bleak run. If you’re desperate for a paddle on that Friday morning, you might get a few clean little lines, but don’t expect much else.
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.
