The Lowdown
Right, mates. Rusty here. I’ve taken a good look at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch for Cabo Blanco. We’re looking at a long, quiet spell where the surf just isn’t gonna be worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is basically a blank run.
From Saturday the 22nd of August right through to Sunday the 6th of September, the ocean’s just not playing ball. The energy in the water is weak, with wave energy readings barely cracking 60 (like a 41 on the Saturday), and most sessions are showing zero or tiny swell heights. The winds are consistently cross or cross-onshore, coming from the SSW or SW, which just messes up what little shape there is. For a point break like Cabo Blanco, we need some proper groundswell and clean wind, and we’re getting neither.
The only hint of any real motion comes on a couple of mornings where we see a tiny 0.3ft swell from the NW with a long period (14 seconds to 22 seconds). That’s a promising direction for the point, and the period is proper groundswell energy, but the size is just a whisper. It won’t break properly.
The water is about 74°F and that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year—about 9°F warmer. That’s a very notable anomaly.
With no rides on offer, and the winds staying strong and messy, the setup here looks more interesting for a bit of kite action than a paddle session for us surfers. Fairly consistent breaks like Cabo Blanco can fire up again quick on a change in the forecast, but as it stands, this is a long, flat wait.

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.
