Cabo Blanco Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty coming to you live from the coast. Let’s get into it.

Alright, so we’ve got a solid run of surf coming up here at Cabo Blanco. The pattern is set for a nice week and a half of clean, consistent waves, especially early on. The water is sitting at a warm 87°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – you’ll be surfing in boardies for sure.

The best of the lot kicks off on Monday, July 13th with a morning session. The swell is a clean 3ft from the SSW, with a long period of 13 seconds, giving it some real push. The wind is light and cross-off from the E at 3 mph, so expect clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy is moderate at 580, and conditions are set to be very good. This is the standout early call.

Tuesday morning, July 14th, is another beauty. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW, period holds at 14 seconds, and the wind is dead calm – glassy. You’ll be surfing with no wind ripples at all. The energy is moderate at 469. This is a second standout morning, especially for the peace and quiet.

The pattern holds through the week. Wednesday and Thursday mornings, July 15th and 16th, offer more 4ft SSW swell with glassy or very light wind. The break is fairly consistent, so you can expect waves throughout the session. Friday and Saturday mornings, July 17th and 18th, keep the good run going, with 4ft to 4ft swell and glassy conditions. The energy bumps up to 582 on Saturday morning, which is a solid pulse.

The mornings are definitely the play here. The afternoons consistently trend onshore from the WSW or SW, turning the surf messy, so you’ll want to be in the water early.

After the first week, the swell drops a little going into July 21st and 22nd, with smaller 2ft waves, but still glassy mornings. The energy drops to 243 on the 22nd, but it’s still surfable. Then there’s a bit of a lull from the 23rd to the 24th – the swell is small and the period drops to 7 seconds, which is short-period slop, and the wind is messy. Not worth paddling out for.

But don’t write it off. The long-range window shows a promising pulse on July 25th and 26th. The swell is small at 2ft to 2ft, but the period jumps to a very long 19 to 21 seconds – that’s pure groundswell. The energy on Sunday, July 26th morning spikes to 406, and with glassy wind, those long-period lines will wrap in nicely. This is a classic case of small swell but heaps of quality, and it’ll be best for the point and reef setups here. The 27th and 28th mornings also look glassy with 2ft to 3ft SSW swell at 16 to 18 seconds, keeping the energy moderate.

So, overall: the best of the best is the Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th mornings, with a strong secondary standout on the Sunday 26th morning. The afternoons are a write-off, but the mornings this week are pure gold. Crowds are possible here, but with consistency on offer, it’s worth the company.

Rusty.
