Cabo Blanco Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get real about it. I’m looking at the next couple weeks for Cabo Blanco, and honestly, I’m feeling a bit flat about it. There’s just no wave energy worth paddling out for right now.

Right off the bat, the water here is sitting at 23°, which is a whopping 3° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s really unusual, like swimming in a warm bath. But that’s where the good news ends.

For the first week, from Thursday the 2nd right through to Wednesday the 8th, it’s pretty much a write-off. We’ve got swell heights barely scraping 2 ft with period numbers that look sickly – 4 to 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak, often in the single digits or low teens. Winds are almost always cross-shore, with that fresh breeze kicking up lumpy chop. Thursday the 2nd morning has a 0.3 ft N swell at 9 seconds, but the wind is 9 mph cross-shore – it’s just junk. Glassy conditions pop up Monday the 6th morning with that tiny 0.3 ft NW swell at 13 seconds, but there’s no push behind it. This is a point break that needs a proper NNW swell to light up, and we just aren’t getting it.

We roll into the second week, from Thursday the 9th to Friday the 17th, and it’s more of the same. Tiny swells, mostly under 1 ft, with periods bouncing between 3 and 14 seconds. Combined energy stays low. Winds are a constant cross or cross-onshore breeze, with those moderate to fresh speeds (9 to 19 mph). The only time it ever looks clean is Wednesday the 15th morning, with a 3 mph S wind and clean conditions – but there is *zero* swell. No height, no period, no energy. So it’s glassy flatness.

Honestly, there isn’t a single standout session in this whole 16-day window. The spot is fairly consistent normally, and this area can get some pumping NW groundswell, but that’s not in the cards right now. A long, dry run like this is just one of those quiet spells. Sometimes you just have to wait for the forecasts to change.
