Table - best surf conditions forecast for Cabo Blanco over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be honest right off the bat – the next 16 days at Cabo Blanco (Cabo Blanco) are about as flat and lifeless as a pond on a still morning. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing to get excited about, so let’s get the bad news out of the way.
Right from Sunday, July 12th through to the morning of Monday, July 27th, the swell is barely a whisper. We’re looking at tiny waves, mostly around 0.3ft to 2ft, with periods that are all over the place. Early on, a 14-second period groundswell on the 12th might sound fancy, but it’s only pushing 0.3ft – not enough to even dribble over the inside sandbar. The combined swell energy is pitiful, sitting in the single digits and low double digits (7-130), meaning there’s just no grunt in the water. For the most part, the wind is a messy cross-shore or a lumpy cross-chop, making things even sloppier than they already are.
The one small window that *almost* looks interesting pops up on the morning of July 24th. We’ve got a glassy, clean setup with light northwesterly wind and a 1.0ft swell from the northwest at 16 seconds. It’s still tiny, but the conditions will be as clean as a whistle. Still, at those heights, there’s really nothing to ride.
The only standout – if you can even call it that – is the brief hint of slightly more energy on the afternoon of July 21st and 22nd. The swell climbs to 1ft from the NW with periods of 19-20 seconds, and the combined energy ticks up to 100-130. That’s still weak, moderate energy, and it’s paired with fresh, messy cross-shore winds. Not worth the trip.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for some time on the water, the stronger winds in the afternoons – like those fresh breezes from the SSW – might make this spot look better for a kite session than a paddle session. For surf, it’s a complete bust.

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.
