The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – the next two weeks at Cabo Blanco are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long, flat stretch on our hands. The first proper surf recommendation doesn’t pop up until Saturday afternoon, August 1st, and even then, it's a sorry sight. After that, there’s nothing worth paddling out for until we hit Sunday morning, August 16th. Feels like the ocean just hit the snooze button.
Starting Saturday afternoon, August 1st, at Cabo Blanco, we've got a weak, short-period SW swell rolling in at 4ft, but it’s getting hammered by a fresh 22 mph cross-shore wind. The combined energy is a measly 79, so it’s all chop and no hope. Don't even bother.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day spread doesn't arrive until Sunday morning, August 16th. It’s a tiny blip of a swell, just 0.3ft, but it’s a very long-period NW groundswell coming through at 19 seconds. The magic here is the wind – it’s glassy, absolute glass, from the NNW at 3 mph. The water temp anomaly is off the charts, way warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 76°. But for all that promise, the combined energy is only 14. That’s whisper-thin. For a point break like Cabo Blanco that’s fairly consistent, this is a painful wait. It’s an expert-only wave on the best of days, and with energy this weak, only a seasoned local will find a ride.
For the rest of the month, it’s a whole lot of cross-shore wind and tiny, short-period slop. Monday, August 10th and Friday, August 14th are flat as a pancake. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – there’s wind, but no wave. That’s just how it goes sometimes around here.
Stay patient. Forecasts change.
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.
