The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight up – we've got a long look ahead at Cabo Blanco, and honestly, it's a bit of a tough stretch. This is an exposed point break that likes a good NNW swell, but we just aren't seeing it in this forecast. The wave energy is weak, with the best we get barely hitting a combined energy of (94), and most days are stuck in the double digits. Water temps are sitting at a very warm 79°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year.
Right now, starting Sunday the 13th, we've got tiny swell – like 1 ft from the NW with an 11-second period – but it's being chopped up by a cross-shore breeze. That combo is giving us "poor surf conditions." This pattern of small, weak, and messy surf just drags on. Monday the 14th is even smaller with a 0.7 ft WNW swell. Tuesday the 15th is a flat spell with no swell height recorded at all.
We see a little blip on Thursday the 17th with a 0.7 ft swell from the WSW, but check the period – 21 seconds. That's a very long period groundswell, which can be tricky on a point. It might wrap in and offer a cleaner shape, but the energy is still weak (94) and the wind is a strong cross-shore. It's not the kind of day you'd paddle out for.
From there, it’s more of the same. Tiny waves, cross-shore or cross-onshore winds, and "poor surf conditions" written all over it. There are long gaps here with nothing to recommend. The 16-day window is looking at a real blank run, which isn't abnormal for this area when the swell direction isn't cooperating.
Honestly, the only standout – if you can call it that – is that long-period pulse on the 17th. For the advanced crew who know Cabo Blanco, it might offer a few clean ones despite the size. But for everyone else, the forecast just doesn't have the goods. The setup looks more interesting for a kite session than paddle surfing with these onshore chops and small swells.
Keep your hopes up though – it doesn't stay poor forever, and forecasts can change. For now, I'd save the wax.

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.
