The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, chattin' about the same stretch but in feet. Water temp is running a balmy 86°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time – over 4° above average – so you'll be in boardies all day. The first few days have some real gems.
Saturday the 25th starts glassy, clean. Swell is a playful 2ft out of the SW, but with a 21-second period – that's proper groundswell, and the combined energy sits at 651, so it's got some life. No wind, offshore breeze from the east. Morning is the money window; arvo goes onshore and a bit ordinary.
Sunday the 26th, another glassy start: 3ft SW, 19-second period. Still very clean, but afternoon turns bumpy with a chance of storms. Monday the 27th is more of the same – glassy 3ft, 19 seconds, light NW wind. All these mornings are quality.
Now, Tuesday the 28th morning is the real deal: glass flat, no wind, swell hits 4ft from the SW with an 18-second period. Combined energy is a heavy 1130 – this is solid, powerful surf. It's an expert-only session at that size, but if you've got the skills, it's going to be special.
The swell holds at 4ft into Wednesday the 29th morning, still glassy with a NE breeze. Thursday the 30th drops to 4ft SW, but still glassy and clean. The pattern holds through the end of the month: mornings clean, afternoons bumpy.
As we get into early August, the swell backs off. Sunday the 3rd and Monday the 4th are small, glassy mornings with 2-3ft swell, but not much energy. There are a few days where it barely pushes 2ft – a definite lull.
Then, come Friday the 7th of August, it's back. That morning shows 5ft of SSW swell, 14-second period, combined energy 749, dead calm with an ESE offshore. That's another standout for decent surfers – clean, powerful, and well-shaped.
Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th follow with 3–4ft SSW swell and glassy conditions. Good sessions, but the real fireworks are that Tuesday the 28th and Friday the 7th.
The prevailing SW swell is right in the sweet spot for Cabo Blanco, and the mornings are consistently clean. A killer run of surf, with a few truly special windows. Don't miss 'em.
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.
