The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Cabo Blanco over the next couple of weeks. It’s been a bit frustrating around here lately – the data’s pretty clear: we’re looking at a long, dry spell of poor surf conditions for this exposed point break. There are no standout days on offer, and no real surf to get excited about.
The first recommendation comes up on Monday, 14th September, but it’s a dud: just 0.6ft of weak, 14-second period groundswell from the WSW, with a combined energy of only (33). The wind is a moderate cross-shore at 16 mph, and the water is sitting at a very warm 79°F, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year. Not a day to paddle out.
Tuesday through the rest of that first week is all the same story – tiny waves, cross-shore or cross-onshore breezes, and chop. Heights barely scrape 3ft on the afternoon of the 16th, but it’s short-period windswell of only 4 seconds and lumpy conditions. The combined energy is weak (21). No one’s getting a wave.
Moving into the weekend and the following week, it’s more of the same. Small scraps of swell, mostly under 2ft and often from the NW, which is cross-shore at best. The winds stay messy, and the wave energy stays in the low double digits – for example, on the 20th it’s only (16). The whole period is a blank run.
By the 28th and 29th of September, we start to see a slight lift: around 2ft to 2ft from the NW, with periods of 9 seconds and combined energy nudging up into the 40s and 50s. But it’s still cross-shore or cross-onshore wind, and the conditions are described as poor. Not worth chasing, but it shows the ocean is trying. Still, this is not a spot you’d want to paddle out in these conditions – the setup is more interesting for kiteboarding than paddle surfing right now.
So, honestly, there’s nothing to recommend here for the next 16 days. It’s a quiet run, and for this region, that’s not unusual. The forecasts can always change, but as it stands, the surf stays flat and messy.

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.
