Table - best surf conditions forecast for Cabo Blanco over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Cabo Blanco (Peru) in a language we all understand.
Honestly, it’s a rough stretch ahead. The whole sixteen days are basically a write-off for decent waves. It’s a long gap of nothing special.
Kicking off Tuesday morning (July 7th), we’ve got a trace of a swell – maybe 4 inches at 18 seconds – but it’s from the west and cross-shore winds are blowing. The water’s sitting at 75°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than normal. That’s weird for this time of year.
Day after day, from Wednesday the 8th right through to Monday the 20th of July, it’s the same sad story. Swell heights never get over 3 feet, period is either real short (around 4 seconds) or long (up to 21 seconds), but the wind is always cross-shore, messing it up. There isn’t a single session that gets a thumbs-up rating.
There’s a morning on Saturday the 18th where the wind goes dead calm – glassy as a mirror – but the swell is barely 1 feet at a 2-second period from the southwest. That’s not a wave. That’s just a ripple. Not worth getting wet for.
Then on the 21st and 22nd of July, the combined energy finally gets into a moderate range (a 101 and 111 reading), but the wave height is still only 1 feet and the period is 20 seconds from the northwest. A long-period northwesterly at a point break like this *can* be a thing of beauty, but you need some size to wrap in. There just isn’t enough water moving to make a proper wave, and the afternoon cross-shore winds will chop it up anyway.
So what’s the pick? There isn’t one. Not a single session in the whole 16 days offers clean, rideable surf. For a spot that’s normally pretty consistent, this is a dry spell. It won’t last forever, but for now, it’s time to find something else to do.
Rusty, signing out.

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.
