The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on the table for the only spot we've got in the forecast, Cabo Blanco.
First up, the water is a toasty 79°F, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year. You won't need a spring suit for this one, that's for sure.
Now, I gotta be straight with you. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim. We're starting on Sunday the 6th of September and right through to Monday the 21st of September, there's just no real swell to get excited about. The wave energy is weak, with values mostly in the single digits or low double digits (4, 10, 12). The biggest combined energy we see is a weak-to-moderate value of 83 on the 10th, but it's still small, messy stuff.
The swell is tiny, usually around 0.3ft to 1ft, and what little there is comes from the NW or SW with short periods. The wind is almost always cross or cross-on, which just messes up the already small conditions. There's a brief moment on Friday the 11th morning with a glassy wind, but the swell is still only 1ft at 11 seconds from the NW. That might be a tiny, clean knee-high wave for a patient soul on a longboard, but it's not a recommendation.
For the rest of the run, it's just flat or close to it. The waves are virtually non-existent, and when there is a pulse, the wind is too strong or in the wrong direction. There's no standout day, no hidden gem. This is a blank run for the area, and it looks like it's time to wax the surfboard for the wall or take up another hobby until the ocean wakes up.

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.
