Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Cabo Blanco.
Honestly, mate, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch doesn’t look good. We’re staring down a long, flat run of poor surf conditions that just won’t let up. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent wave. There are no standout days, no hidden gems. The first record kicks off on Saturday, July 4th, but there’s nothing to get excited about.
We start off with a tiny 2ft of swell from the SW with a shockingly short period of just 3 seconds, and a cross wind of 25 km/h. The water is 74°, which is 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – very unusual, but it won’t do you any good with the surf being so poor. The combined swell energy is weak (7). This is the picture for the whole week: tiny, wind-affected chop. On Sunday the 5th, morning drops to 0.3ft, and the wind is cross-on. The biggest we see in the first week is 3ft on Wednesday the 8th afternoon, but that comes with a fresh cross breeze at 30 km/h, making for lumpy, ugly conditions. The combined energy is still very low (38).
The second week doesn’t get any better. There’s a tiny 0.7ft from the WNW on the 14th and 15th, but the period hangs around 12 seconds, and the wind is up again, 30 km/h and 35 km/h. The best-looking wind we get is on the morning of Friday, July 17th – a clean cross-off breeze. But that’s with a 0.3ft, 10-second northwest swell, and an energy of just 4. There’s nothing to ride.
The last day, Sunday the 19th, morning shows zero swell, then the afternoon throws up a 0.7ft from the WNW with a very long period of 22 seconds – that’s a groundswell alright – and the combined energy jumps to 47, the highest in the whole forecast. But it’s a measly 0.7ft. That long period would make it best for the point setup here at Cabo Blanco, but you can’t surf what isn’t there.
It’s just a blank run, plain and simple. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real bummer. But you know how it goes – it tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
