The Lowdown
Alright, 'sup? Rusty here. Lookin' at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I've got some bad news for the crew at Cabo Blanco – it's gonna be flat. I mean, properly flat. For the first seven days, through the 7th of September, there is nothing. Nada. The wave heights are bouncing between 0.1ft and 0.5ft if we see anything at all. The energy in the water is weak, with combined readings in the single digits, like 5 or 19. It's just a big, empty ocean out there. Wind's mostly cross-shore, so it's not even clean, just a bit rippled. There's no reason to even bring your board.
Things start to shift as we head into the second week. Around the 8th of September, the swell direction swings to the northwest and the period stretches out to 11 to 13 seconds, which is a good sign – proper groundswell. The energy readings start to climb into the decades and then the hundreds, peaking at 120 on the morning of the 9th. That'll translate into some rideable waves, still small, but with more push.
If you're looking for the only real highlight, it's gonna be the morning of September 9th. Swell is still a modest 2ft but it's from the WNW with a solid 13-second period. The wind is light, so the surface should be glassy enough to make it worth the paddle. This is a point break, and this long-period swell should wrap in nicely. It's the only day in the whole stretch that has any punch to it. And the water is 25°C, far warmer than it should be this time of year, so it'll be a tropical paddle at least.
Not gonna lie, the rest of the window is a write-off. From the 10th onwards, the swell fades, the energy drops back into the 30s, and by the 14th we're back to seeing energy in the single digits again. The period ends with flat, wind-chopped ocean. This type of empty run is pretty standard for this spot, so it's not a shock. There are no big swells coming, so kite surfers might have a better time than us. Stay patient, keep the faith, and don't bother getting your hopes up just yet. Forecasts change, but this one looks locked in. Later.
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.
