Cabo Blanco Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Cabo Blanco. The water is sitting at a warm 87°, which is a good couple of degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like bathwater out there.

The real standout is Thursday morning, August 27th. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a clean 3 ft groundswell out of the SW, with a long period of 17 seconds pushing a moderate wave energy of 510. The wind is glassy, coming light from the ESE, so expect clean, lined-up walls. That’s a proper session.

Before that, there’s plenty of fun to be had. Wednesday morning the 12th kicks things off with a 2 ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds, glassy conditions, and moderate energy (376). The water is much warmer than normal, so a shorty might be overkill. Friday morning the 14th is another beauty – 3 ft SW swell, 18-second period, and strong energy (668) with flat calm, glassy conditions. Sunday morning the 16th is also worth a paddle, with 3 ft SW swell at 15 seconds and moderate energy (623), glassy again.

The afternoons are a write-off, though – risk of thunderstorms and onshore winds chop things up. The mornings are the key.

Further out, the 27th Thursday morning is the big one – 3 ft SW groundswell, 17 seconds, and strong energy (510) with glassy winds. That’s your best bet for the whole forecast.

A few other mornings like Wednesday the 19th and Friday the 21st offer smaller but clean windows. The 22nd Saturday morning shows 3 ft S swell, 10-second period, and moderate energy (243) with glassy conditions, but it’s a shorter period, so the waves might be a bit more crumbly. Still fun.

From the 23rd into the 26th, the swell dips a little, but there are still clean, glassy mornings with some long-period groundswell rolling in. The 27th is the real highlight.

Overall, get out there on the glassy mornings, and you’ll score. The 27th is the top call.

Rusty.
