Listen up, crew. Rusty here, and I’m looking at a sixteen-day forecast for Cabo Blanco that’s about as exciting as watching paint dry. I’m calling it now: this is a tough run.

Right from the top, the water is a warm 75°, which is way warmer than normal for the season—a solid 9° above the average. It feels like a hot tub, but that’s the only good news.

We are staring down a near-total flat spell. The whole 16 days, from the 2nd of August through the 17th, is mostly empty. The first real chance of a wave is on the 2nd, with a tiny 1 ft northwest swell carrying an 11-second period. It’s clean early with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the combined swell energy is only (28) – that’s weak. Not worth suiting up for.

After that, it’s a dirge of small, choppy, short-period slop. Most days see swell under 3 ft from the southwest with periods of just 3 to 5 seconds. The wind is almost always a cross or cross-onshore mess, with gusts hitting 22 to 25 mph. The combined swell energy rarely hits triple digits; it’s mostly in the single or low double digits – weak, weak energy.

There are a couple of mornings that look glassy, like Saturday the 8th, but we’re talking about a 0.3 ft northwest swell. The combined energy is (3). That’s a pond, not the ocean. You’d be paddling around for fun.

The second week brings a tease. Around the 16th and 17th of August, we see some very long-period groundswell from the west-northwest, hitting 18 to 19 seconds. That’s a classic look for a point break like Cabo Blanco, which loves a northwest swell. But the height is only 0.7 ft. All that period and no push. The energy picks up a little to the low 40s, but it’s still not enough to bend a rail.

Honestly, with the constant cross-shore wind and tiny, weak lumps, this coast looks more interesting for kite surfing than for paddling into a wave. There just isn’t any power.

There are no standout days. None. The only highlight is the warm water, which is a nice bonus, but it won’t help you catch a wave. For a spot that needs a solid, lined-up swell to show its best, this is a dead period. Forecasts can always change, but for now, don’t get your hopes up.

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.
