Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at a pretty grim picture for Cabo Blanco. The whole 16-day window is just a flat, blown-out mess with no real surf to get excited about. We're staring down the barrel of a long stretch with nothing worthwhile.
For the first week and a half, from Thursday the 9th right through to the 18th of July, the swell is tiny—mostly under 3 ft—and the wind is a constant cross or cross-off shore, which is just going to chop everything up. There's a moment on the morning of Saturday the 18th where it goes glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 1 ft with a 4-second period from the SW. That's not even enough to push a foamie over. The combined energy is laughable, reading just a 4 (weak energy). It's not surfable.
Then we get into the second week, from the 20th of July onward. The swell actually starts to build a bit, with the 21st showing a 1 ft groundswell from the NW with a very long 20-second period. The combined energy jumps to 103 (moderate wave energy), which sounds promising, but the problem is the wind. It's a stiff cross-shore from the SSW at 12-22 mph, which is going to ruin any chance of a clean wave. That long-period NW groundswell is a classic point-break swell, but the wind is completely wrong for Cabo Blanco. It's a frustrating setup.
The water temperature is a bit of a story here. For the first break we look at, it's sitting at 74°F on the morning of the 9th, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That's very unusual—a real tropical vibe in the water, but it doesn't help the surf.
So, to put it bluntly, there are zero standouts. There's no day where the swell, wind, and conditions align. If you're a kitesurfer, this entire stretch might look interesting with that consistent cross-shore wind, but for anyone with a paddle in their hand, it's a complete write-off. The forecast can change, but for now, leave the boards in the shed.
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.
