Alright, let’s switch it up for the imperial crowd.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming, starting with a real beauty on Monday morning.

Monday 6th July morning is the opener. Cabo Blanco is glassy with a clean 3ft SSW groundswell, 16-second period. Water’s at 87°, which is noticeably warmer than the usual. Combined energy is moderate at 879. This is a true standout.

Tuesday morning the 7th fires up even bigger – 5ft SSW swell with an 18-second period and energy hitting 1803. It’s glassy with light offshore winds. That one’s for the experienced crew; too raw for beginners.

Wednesday morning the 8th holds at 5ft, still glassy, same 16-second pulse. Thursday and Friday mornings stay clean with 3-4ft SSW waves and light offshore breezes, but energy drops.

The weekend (Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th July) stays fun, with 4-4ft SSW swells and clean conditions through the mornings.

A lull sets in around Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, with smaller, cleaner mornings but choppier afternoons. Mid-week gets a bit messy.

Then Saturday 18th July morning comes back with a 5ft SSW swell and glassy conditions – a nice bookend to the run.

Best bets are Monday and Tuesday mornings. After that, mornings are the key; afternoons get blown out.

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.
