The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Cabo Blanco over the next couple of weeks.
Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The outlook for Cabo Blanco is a long, dry spell. We’re looking at essentially 16 days of very marginal to non-existent surf. The first real recommendation doesn’t pop up until late in the period, so we’ve got a big gap of quiet days to get through.
From Saturday July 25th all the way through to early August, it’s a ghost town. The swell heights are tiny – mostly 0.3ft to 1.0ft – and the wind is almost always a cross or cross-onshore breeze, which just messes up what little bump there is. The combined swell energy is barely registering, with values like 0 to 75 (weak energy). It’s the kind of window where you’re better off waxing the longboard for a flat-water paddle, cause there’s nothing to ride.
The first real glimmer, and the only standout on offer, comes on Friday, August 7th. In the morning, we get a rare treat: a glassy surface with the wind going light and variable WSW. The swell is still only 0.7ft from the WSW with a period of 12 seconds, but that glassy wind is a major positive. It’ll be clean, even if it’s small. The combined energy is only 14 (weak energy), but for a point break like Cabo Blanco, that long-period groundswell can wrap in and produce a few fun little lines. It won’t be for beginners – the crowd profile here is 'often' busy, so expect some company for those few waves. This is your best bet, but it’s a promise of clean conditions, not power.
The afternoon of the 7th gets messy again with a cross-shore breeze, and the following days drop right back to nothing.
So, to sum it up: the entire 16-day window is a dud except for that one glassy morning on August 7th. It’s a real shame, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, don’t hold your breath.
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.
