The Lowdown
Right, listen. Cabo Blanco. Gonna be straight with you—this is a rough stretch. Over the whole 16-day window, there’s not a single session worth paddling out for. We’re talking a full run of poor surf conditions from the 12th of September all the way through the 27th. That’s over two weeks of flat or tiny, messy junk. No standouts at all. For an exposed point like Cabo Blanco, that’s a proper dry spell.
First few days, startin’ Saturday the 12th, there’s a tiny 1ft NW swell with an 11-second period, cross-off and clean in the morning. Energy is weak—barely 30 (combined energy). Problem is, that’s the best it gets, and it’s still rated as poor. By Saturday afternoon, wind swings SSW at 25 mph, cross-shore and messy, with a 4ft SW windswell at a shocking 4-second period. That’s just chop. Sunday the 13th is a repeat: tiny morning NW swell (1ft), then a 4ft lumpy mess in the afternoon. Wave energy never climbs past 79. It’s hopeless.
From Monday the 14th through the rest of the month, wave heights hover between flat and 3ft, mostly from the SW or WSW with periods from 2 to 21 seconds. That occasional long-period stuff (14s, 16s, even 21s) sounds promising, but with barely any height—0.7ft or 1ft—it’s just long-period ripples. The combined energy barely cracks 95 on the 17th afternoon, still weak. Winds are almost always cross or cross-on, and often strong—19 mph from the SSW or SW—so even clean mornings are just tiny and clean.
Bottom line: there’s no surf here worth mentioning. Not for beginners (nothing over 5ft anyway), not for experts. The point ain’t breakin’. I’d say give it a miss and check back in a week or two. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run. For an area like this, a two-week gap of no recommendations is unusual, but not unheard of.

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.
