Cabo Blanco Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Cabo Blanco. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming through, with the standout window shaping up around the end of July and into August. The water’s sitting about average for the time of year, so no crazy surprises there.

The first real action kicks off Tuesday morning, 21 July, with some clean 2ft groundswell from the SW, period a nice 14 seconds, and the wind is glassy out of the east at 3 mph. The combined energy is moderate (407). It’s a gentle start, but the surface is clean. Tuesday afternoon the wind switches cross-on and the quality drops, so get it while it’s good in the morning.

Wednesday morning, 22 July, is a bit messy with cross-shore wind, but Wednesday afternoon cleans right back up – glassy again, 3ft SSW swell, 12-second period, and a moderate energy reading (262). Thursday morning, 23 July, is small and glassy, but Thursday afternoon we see a jump: 1ft of swell but with a very long period of 26 seconds from the SW. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is moderate (329). This kind of period will wrap nicely around the point, but it’ll be a bit fat on the beach. Good for the reef.

Now, Friday morning, 24 July, is looking promising. 2ft SSW swell, 24-second period, glassy wind from the SSE at 3 mph. The combined energy is strong (643). That’s a solid morning. The afternoon is a write-off with onshore wind.

Saturday morning, 25 July, is dead calm, glassy, 2ft SW swell with a 21-second period. Combined energy is strong (547). This is a real gem – clean, empty feeling, and the long period means the waves will have shape and power. Saturday afternoon gets cross-onshore again.

Sunday morning, 26 July, is another beauty: 3ft SW, 19-second period, glassy, and the energy is strong (670). The morning sessions are the clear winners here.

The real standout, though, is Tuesday morning, 28 July. Swell jumps to 5ft from the SW, 18-second period, and the wind is glassy out of the north at 3 mph. The combined energy is very strong (1213). This is the best of the bunch – clean, powerful, and for experienced surfers, it’s going to be firing. The afternoon gets onshore, so don’t sleep in.

Wednesday, 29 July, and Thursday, 30 July, mornings both offer 4ft SSW groundswell with 16 and 15-second periods respectively, glassy, and strong energy. Consistent, clean, and solid. Friday morning, 31 July, is similar at 5ft, 14 seconds, and glassy – strong energy (776).

Into August, Saturday morning, 1 August, is 4ft, 13 seconds, glassy, and good. Sunday morning, 2 August, is a bit smaller at 3ft. Monday morning, 3 August, is dead calm and 2ft. Then Tuesday morning, 4 August, delivers another solid 4ft, 12-second SSW swell, glassy, with very strong energy (759). And Wednesday morning, 5 August, caps it off: 5ft, 13 seconds, dead calm, glassy, and strong energy (738).

Overall, the morning windows are firing. The best of the lot is Tuesday 28 July morning – that 5ft SW groundswell with glassy conditions is the one to circle. The long-period swells mean the point will be peeling, and the reef will have proper shape. Crowds are possible at times, so get in early. Cabo Blanco is fairly consistent, so there’s plenty to go around.
