Alright folks, let’s talk about what’s shaping up at Cabo Blanco over the next couple of weeks. I’m Rusty, and I’ve got the goods for you.
We’ve got a solid SSW groundswell hitting right from the get-go. Tuesday morning, July 7, kicks off with a clean 5.2ft SSW swell running at a long 18 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy, bringing in over 1800 units of juice. The wind is dead calm, glassy as a mirror. This is excellent surf, but at this size it’s for experienced surfers only. Crowds might show up sometimes, but early you’ll have it sweet. That morning is the standout of the whole run.
Wednesday morning, July 8, is nearly as good: 4.6ft SSW, 16-second period, glassy again. The water temp? I don’t have a read on that, but it’s about average for the time of year. The afternoons turn onshore and messy, so stick to the early sessions. Thursday and Friday mornings, July 9 and 10, still offer waist-to-chest high waves around 3.3-3.6ft, still glassy, but the energy drops. Saturday and Sunday mornings, July 11 and 12, hold similar 3.6-3.9ft glassy conditions – good fun.
Then we hit a stretch from Monday the 13th through the following weekend where the quality fades. The wind gets cross or onshore, the swell drops under 3ft, and scores are low. There’s marginal to poor surf for about a week, with a few glassy windows but nothing special.
But don’t write it off. Around Monday, July 20, the long period S swell returns. That morning sees 3.6ft from the south at 18 seconds, glassy again – energy back up to 929. Tuesday morning, July 21, has 4.3ft SSW, 16 seconds, also glassy. Those are promising, especially considering they’re a week and a half out – not locked in, but worth keeping

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.
