The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. I’ve been staring at the next sixteen days and it’s a rough ride. The whole window is a flat, choppy bust. There’s no good surf on offer, not a single session worth paddling for. The first recommendation doesn’t even show up – it’s a long, empty gap from the start.
The only break in the game is Cabo Blanco – a point break for advanced surfers, fairly consistent, but it’s not gonna help us. It wants a swell from the NNW, but we’re stuck with tiny, weak SW or NW swells and cross-shore winds that just mess up the surface.
Saturday morning the 5th, we’ve got a 0.3ft NW swell with an 11-second period, but the water is 78° – way warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined energy is a pathetic 5 (weak energy). It’s a no-go.
The whole first week is filled with small, weak swells, choppy winds, and everything marked “poor surf conditions.” Wednesday morning the 9th has a cleaner look with a cross-offshore wind and a 1ft NW swell at 12 seconds, but the energy is still low at 36 (weak energy). It’s the closest to halfway decent, but it’s not a standout.
The second week doesn’t get any better. By Thursday the 17th, we see a 0.7ft swell from the WSW with a very long 21-second period – that means long waits between sets. The combined energy hits 48 (weak energy) in the morning, 60 (weak energy) in the afternoon. The wind is fresh and cross – lumpy, choppy, messy. The period is so long it’s gonna break too straight for a point break like Cabo Blanco. No good.
There is no standout. No best on offer. The whole sixteen days is a dud. If you’re a kite surfer, some afternoons with stronger cross-shore wind and a bit of chop might look interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a big fat zero. This kind of blank run can happen, and forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board in the car.

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.
