The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. Let me tell you about the next 16 days at Cabo Blanco – it’s a flat spell, plain and simple. We’re looking at a big gap with no surf to start. From Monday the 7th all the way through the first week, the ocean’s basically asleep.
Water temp is 78°F, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year – a very notable anomaly.
There’s a tiny pulse of swell showing up around Thursday the 17th of September – a long-period groundswell from the WSW with a 21-second period. But the swell height is only about 0.7ft, and the combined wave energy is weak (around 59 for moderate energy). Winds are cross-shore from the SSW at 9 mph in the morning, picking up to 19 mph and getting lumpy in the afternoon. It’s still poor conditions across the board.
For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this long stretch of nothing is a bummer. But it happens. Don’t lose hope – forecasts can flip, but for now, you’re better off doing something else on land.
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.
