The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Alright, I’ve stared at the charts for Cabo Blanco and I have to be straight with you – it’s a rough run ahead. This is a sick point break that can handle a proper NW groundswell, but the next 16 days are looking like a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a long, flat spell coming up.
The first surf recommendation doesn’t kick in until the very end of the period, and even then, it’s a tease. From now, 31 July, right through to the morning of 15 August, it’s all poor surf conditions. The swell is either non-existent or tiny, with heights mostly under 3.3 ft and weak energy. There’s a few days of 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft NW swell, but the wind is always cross or cross-shore, chopping it up. The water temp is a very unusual 74.8° (much warmer than normal for this time of year), but that doesn’t help the waves.
The one tiny glimmer is on the morning of 15 August. We’ve got a bit of a pulse: a 0.3 ft NW swell with a very long period of 18 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 13. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’ll be clean, but 0.3 ft is basically a ripple. That’s the only surfable moment in the whole 16-day window. The consistent, exposed nature of Cabo Blanco means it usually gets something, but this is a proper blank run.
Honestly, lads, with the swell being so tiny and the wind often cross or cross-on, and the setup here being a point break, it’s not looking more interesting for kiting either. The best advice is to wait for the next forecast update. This stretch of poor surf is normal for the area when the weather patterns stall.
Stay patient.

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.
