The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Cabo Blanco over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ll be honest with you, this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim. We’re starting now, and the first surfable day that’s even worth a mention is a bit of a stretch. The truth is, there’s nothing on offer that gets a real recommendation. The combined swell energy barely gets out of the single digits for most of the run, hitting a weak peak of just 86 (moderate energy) on Saturday the 12th, but the wind is a mess. The water is a balmy 78°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year, so the water temp anomaly is a massive 13° warmer than normal.
For the first few days, from Tuesday the 8th through to the 11th, we’ve got tiny swell—0.7ft to 1ft—with cross-shore winds that are just too strong or too messy. The period is short or moderate, but the energy is just not there. The combo is poor surf conditions across the board. You’d be better off having a coffee than paddling out.
Then we hit the weekend. Saturday the 12th sees a bump in the afternoon with a 4ft SW swell, but the period is a pitiful 4 seconds and the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore. That’s lumpy, cross-chop mess. Same story on Sunday the 13th. The energy is a bit higher, but the quality is zero.
After that, it’s a long, flat slog. The second week is a write-off. From Monday the 14th right through to Wednesday the 23rd, we’re looking at swell heights of 0.0ft to 2ft, combined energy often below 20, and a mix of cross-shore and cross-onshore winds. The periods are mostly short, and the only thing that’s consistent here is the poor surf conditions. Even the 21-second period on Thursday the 17th morning is attached to a tiny 0.7ft swell, so it’s not doing anything.
Look, Cabo Blanco is a point break that needs a solid, clean swell to work. This forecast is a dud. There’s no standout, no hidden gem. The best we can say is that the weather is clear most days, but that’s about it. The way it’s looking, this is a blank run for the area. Don’t get your hopes up, but as always, forecasts can change.
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.
