Cabo Blanco Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it. We've got a solid run of surf on the cards at Cabo Blanco. This break is exposed to the SW and is fairly consistent, so it's a good bet. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 87°, a massive 4° warmer than average for the time of year – that's tropical bathwater.

The pattern is all about consistent, long-period SSW groundswell. It kicks off this Saturday morning, July 4th, with a clean 4ft SSW swell riding a 16-second period. The wind is glassy out of the NW, and combined wave energy is moderate at 733. That's a proper morning session. The glassy conditions hold into the afternoon, with the same size swell and energy at 664.

Sunday the 5th is still looking good in the morning, with a 4ft, 14-second SSW wave and light easterly cross-offshore wind giving you clean faces. Wave energy is still pumping at 654. The afternoon gets a bit onshore, dropping to a smaller 2ft.

Now, for the standout. Tuesday morning, July 7th, is the real deal. We see a jump in size to a head-high 5ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, and the ocean is glassy as a mirror with zero wind out of the WSW. The combined energy is strong at 1667. This is excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers. The afternoon sees the wind shift onshore, but that morning window is mint.

Wednesday morning, July 8th, is another absolute beauty. Still a solid 5ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, and again, glassy conditions with only a 3 mph breeze. Wave energy reads a strong 1091. Risk of thunderstorms is in the air, but if you're in the water for that glass-off, it'll be worth it.

There's a bit of a lull mid-next week, with the mornings on the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th holding 3ft to 4ft SSW groundswell and glassy winds, but energy drops back to moderate levels (between 567 and 751). The wave quality is still very good, just not as punchy as Tuesday and Wednesday.

Heading into the second week, the consistency remains. From Monday the 13th through to Saturday the 18th, mornings will offer clean, surfable 3ft to 4ft SSW swell under light or glassy winds. It’s not the size of that Tuesday, but the consistency and clean conditions will keep you happy. Saturday the 18th morning even shows a bump in period back to 17 seconds on a 3ft swell, with energy climbing back up slightly.

The run closes out on Sunday the 19th with a 4ft SSW swell at 15 seconds, but winds go cross and cross-on, making it more of a battle.

For my money, the absolute best on offer across this entire 16-day window is Tuesday July 7th and Wednesday July 8th mornings. Don't miss that Tuesday glass-off with the 5ft groundswell. The crowds here are flagged as *sometimes* present, so you might have company for the standout sessions.

Rusty.
