The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid 16-day window shaping up for Cabo Blanco, and the early part of the run is looking like a real treat. The water is a balmy 87°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick suit at home.

The first real action hits on Friday the 24th. It’s a small but high-quality start. Friday morning we’ve got a 2ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 24 seconds, and the wind is glassy out of the NNE. That’s the kind of clean, lined-up energy that makes a point break like this hum. Wave energy is moderate (590). The afternoon goes onshore, so get your session in early.

Saturday the 25th is another early-bird special. A 2ft SW swell, period of 21 seconds, and glassy conditions again in the morning. The water temp anomaly is still running much warmer than normal. The afternoon turns dicey with a cross-onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms.

Sunday the 26th is your standout for the first week. The morning is dead calm with 3ft of SW groundswell at 19 seconds. The energy picks up to a solid moderate (603). It’s glassy, clean, and the break should be linking up beautifully. This is the best on offer early on. The afternoon gets a bit messy with onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms, so make it a dawn patrol.

Monday the 27th follows the same script: a 3ft SW swell, glassy morning, and clean conditions. The energy is still strong (904). The wind stays light offshore from the NE. Another cracking morning session.

Tuesday the 28th is the big one for more experienced surfers. The morning shows 4ft of SW swell, still a solid 18-second period, and the wind is cross-offshore from the east. The energy jumps to a strong 1090. This is excellent surf, but at 4ft, it’s still manageable for a confident intermediate. The break is fairly consistent, so you won’t be waiting forever. The morning is where it’s at.

The quality holds through Wednesday the 29th with another glassy morning, 4ft of SW swell, and calm winds. The energy is still strong (873). After that, the swell starts to ease into the first weekend of August. Expect smaller, cleaner mornings from the 31st through to the 3rd of August, with 2ft to 3ft of SW swell and glassy conditions. The energy drops back to moderate.

Around the 4th and 5th of August, the swell gets a bit weaker and the period drops, but the mornings are still glassy. It’s surfable but ordinary. The energy dips to around 199, which is weak.

Then, on Saturday the 8th of August, we get a little pulse of life. A 2ft SW swell with a period of 17 seconds, glassy conditions in the morning, and energy climbs back to 392. It’s a promising end to the run, but it’s a week and a half out, so call it a hopeful long-range look.

Crowds at Cabo Blanco can be an issue from time to time, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for company, especially on the cleanest mornings.

Overall, the first week is the clear winner. Sunday the 26th through Tuesday the 28th mornings are the standout sessions. The second week goes quiet, but that Saturday the 8th could surprise you.

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.
