The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the horizon for Cabo Blanco. Truth is, it’s looking bleak. Out of the entire 16-day window from Friday afternoon August 21st through Saturday September 5th, there’s genuinely nothing worth paddling out for. Every single forecast session is flagged as having poor surf conditions and scores zero out of ten. The combined swell energy is tiny, with most readings in the single digits or weak double digits—like 15, 7, 25, 52—all well under 100, which just confirms the ocean is flat and weak. That’s a long stretch of quiet.
August 21 – August 22: Friday afternoon and all day Saturday are a complete no-go. Height is nothing to get excited about—2 ft at best on Friday with a short, weak 4-second period from the SW combined with a 15 mph cross-shore breeze. Saturday’s only 1 ft to 3 ft, still short-period, still cross-shore. The water is way warmer than normal at 76°F, a whopping 11°F above average for the time of year, but that doesn't save the surf.
August 23 – August 25: Sunday through Tuesday is more of the same. A bit of wind bump with 22 mph cross-shore on Sunday, height barely hitting 4 ft from the SW at a pathetic 4 seconds. The energy creeps up to 48 for Sunday afternoon, still feeble. Monday and Tuesday are just weak cross-shore slop.
August 26 – September 5: This whole stretch is a write-off. Heights are tiny, often 0.3 ft or less, with long periods up to 14 seconds from the NW at times (like Tuesday afternoon August 25 and Sunday morning August 30), but with hardly any height that long-period groundswell is just an empty rumble on the horizon. The winds are almost always moderate to strong cross or cross-on—10 to 25 mph—which just chops up any chance of a clean wave. Thursday September 3rd afternoon sees a slight bump: 0.7 ft from the WSW at 13 seconds, but with 19 mph cross-shore, it’s messy junk.
Look, Cabo Blanco is a world-class advanced point break when it’s on, with an optimum swell from the NNW, but we’re getting nothing but weak SW windswell and relentless cross-shore breezes the whole run. The break is fairly consistent normally, but this is a proper flat spell. Not much we can do but wait for the next change in the charts. Hang in there.
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.
