The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for Cabo Blanco. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf and messy winds that are just killing any chance of a decent wave. Honestly, it’s a rough patch.
We’re starting off this Monday with almost nothing. A tiny 1ft NW groundswell is getting chopped up by a cross-shore breeze, making for some pretty poor conditions. The water’s warm at 74°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive. Energy is weak, with a combined swell energy of just 19. It's not worth paddling out for.
Tuesday and Wednesday are pretty much the same story. Tiny waves, cross-shore winds, and not a hint of quality. The energy reading is low, between 3 and 62, so there’s just nothing pushing through. New swell, old swell, doesn’t matter—it’s all flat and messy.
As we roll through the first weekend and into the next week, the pattern holds. We’re looking at consistent poor surf conditions. The wind will stay cross-shore or cross-on, and the swell just never gets above 4ft, which is a short-period, choppy swell. Not worth your time.
There is a little pulse of energy that shows up on the 9th of August, with a combined energy of 86, but the swell is a weak 0.7ft with a long period. It’s just not going to produce anything rideable. And on the 12th, there's a bit of a push from the WSW with an 18-second period, but again, the height is tiny.
So, for the entire 16-day window, there are no good surf options. Not one. This is one of those blank runs where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. The good news is that it won’t stay this poor forever; forecasts can change, and the swell will eventually return. But for now, if you’re dead set on getting wet, you might be better off looking at a different stretch of coast, or maybe even a kite, because the bumpy, wind-affected conditions will be more fun for that than paddling a surfboard.
Hang tight, this will pass.

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.
