The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me break down the local surf picture for you. I gotta be honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle session. There's one single highlight way out at the end, but otherwise, it’s a whole lot of flat or junky conditions.
The water's at 79°F right now, way warmer than usual for this time of year. Feels like a hot tub.
For the most part, we're looking at a long, grim stretch of poor conditions. From now, right through to the end of the month, the swell is tiny, weak, or coming from the wrong direction. The winds are all wrong – mostly a cross or cross-onshore breeze that'll ruin any small bumps we get. The combined energy is a weak 82 on Sunday the 13th, and it just gets weaker. We're talking days and days of scores of 0, with flat or junk surf.
You'll see some glassy mornings on Tuesday the 15th of September and Saturday the 26th, but there's literally no swell to go with it. A classic case of "all dressed up with nowhere to go."
Now, here's the one glimmer. Mark your calendar for Monday the 28th of September. Cabo Blanco is looking like it might finally give us something. We've got a clean 2ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a 10-second period. It ain't big, but it's got some energy (65). The wind is going to be offshore out of the SE, which means clean, groomed waves. The guidance says this spot loves a swell from the NNW, so the direction isn't perfect, but it's close enough to work. This is literally the only session worth chasing in this whole outlook. With that offshore wind, it'll be a welcome change of pace.
Just remember, this is well over a week and a half away, so don't make solid plans yet. Long-range forecasts can shift, but right now, Monday the 28th is your one and only best bet.
See you on the sand.

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.
