The Lowdown
Alright team, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf prospects for Cabo Blanco over the next couple weeks.
To be straight with you, this 16-day outlook is a bit of a bust. Starting from Thursday the 13th, we’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real waves on offer. There’s a solid two-week gap where you won’t find any good recommendations, so don’t get your hopes up.
We’re talking about Cabo Blanco, an advanced point break that’s usually fairly consistent when the swell is right. But from the get-go on Thursday the 13th, it’s all weak, short-period southwest windswell. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, which keeps the surface clean at times, but the swell just isn’t there. Friday the 14th morning is clean, but completely flat. Saturday the 15th gives us a tiny 1ft from the SSW with weak energy (18). Not enough to bother with.
The first week is a total wash. We get a glimpse of longer-period groundswell on Sunday the 16th morning with a 12-second NW pulse, but it’s only 0.3ft and the combined energy is a pathetic 6. You’d be floating out there. Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th morning go glassy, but with that tiny 0.3ft NW groundswell, you’d be hard-pressed to catch a ripple. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing notable there.
Heading into the second week, from around the 20th onwards, it’s more of the same. Small, wind-affected SW swells keep rolling through, but they’re short period (3-6 seconds) and lack any power. We do see a couple of pulses on the 26th and 27th with longer-period NW and WNW energy (13 and 15 seconds), but the heights are tiny – 0.3ft to 0.7ft – and the combined energy barely reaches 12 or 26. That long period would make it more drawn out at a point break, but without any size, it’s just a long wait for nothing.
No standouts here at all. No decent swell, no clean windows. This whole 16-day run is a blank. For this area, it’s not uncommon to have a quiet spell, but forecasts can change. Right now, if you’re a kiter, the stronger afternoon breezes might give you a chance, but for a surfer, it’s a hard no.
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.
