The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let me break down the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day stretch, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – it’s a pretty lean run. There’s a real lack of any decent swell pushing through. We’ve got a long gap of poor surf conditions right from the start, so don’t expect much to get excited about for a while.

Starting off on Thursday the 30th of July, it’s flat and messy. We’re looking at a tiny 0.3ft swell from the northwest with a 12-second period, but a crosswind of 12 mph is chopping it up. The water temperature is 75°, which is a whopping 9° above the norm for this time of year – that’s seriously warm, feels like a bathtub. The combined energy is just a weak 6, so there’s nothing to work with. This pattern of tiny, poor surf continues through the end of July and into the first week of August. The swell heights barely break 1ft to 1ft, and the wind is often a cross-shore breeze, keeping things bumpy and uninviting. The combined energy values stay in the single digits and low teens for the most part – that’s weak, weak energy.

By the morning of Monday the 3rd of August, we see a tiny bump to 3ft from the southwest, but the period is a short 4 seconds and the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore. That’s just lumpy, junky waves. The energy hits 54, but it’s still poor quality. This same kind of small, short-period swell pops up again on the 4th and the 8th of August, but it’s always accompanied by crosswinds, so it’s never going to clean up into anything rideable.

The best chance for a clean surface comes on the morning of Monday the 10th of August. We get a glassy, 3 mph wind from the west with a tiny 1ft swell from the south-southwest. The energy is only 10, so it’s not going to be a wave you’ll remember, but that glassy water will be nice to look at. For a surfer, there’s practically nothing to ride.

The only real standout is the morning of Thursday the 14th of August. We’ve got a 0.3ft swell from the northwest with a very long 16-second period, and a light 6 mph cross-shore breeze. The energy is still only 10, so it’s not powerful, but that long period means the tiny lines that do show up will be clean and well-shaped, maybe giving a little glide at a point break like Cabo Blanco. The optimum swell direction here is from the north-northwest, so that northwest swell is a decent match. Still, it’s a very small wave, only for the most patient. The crowds here are often, so you might have company for those rare, small waves.

So, to wrap it up – there’s no good surf on offer in this 16-day window. It’s a big blank run. The forecast can always change, but right now, I’d hang the board up and enjoy the warm water.

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.
