Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on the cards for Cabo Blanco these next couple weeks. We've got a solid run of groundswell from the SSW, and the first real call to action hits Friday morning, July 3rd.

That Friday morning, July 3rd, is the big one to start. We're talking a solid 5ft of SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period. The water's a warm 87°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The wind is dead calm, glassy as it gets. That means absolutely clean, peeling lines. The combined swell energy is a strong 1255, so there's heaps of power. This is top-shelf stuff, but at 5ft, it's getting properly solid, so this is one for the experienced surfers. Cabo Blanco is an exposed spot, and that long-period energy will wrap in nicely.

The swell hangs in through the weekend into early next week, with waves in the 3 to 4ft range. The period stays long, often 15-16 seconds, keeping that quality groundswell feel. Winds are a bit mixed. Saturday afternoon, July 4th, turns glassy again for a session with 4ft surf, but the morning has cross-shore action. Sunday morning, July 5th, is worth a session too, with clean cross-offshore breezes and 4ft swell. Not huge, but clean fun.

The next absolute standout is Tuesday morning, July 7th. The swell jumps back up to 5ft from the SSW, with a very long 18-second period. Combined energy is a massive 1803, that's serious power. And it's glassy again, with calm winds. Another epic morning, but again, this is expert territory only. The power will be enormous, and the long lulls between sets will make getting out the back a bit easier.

Wednesday morning, July 8th is still pumping, with 5ft of SSW groundswell at 16 seconds and a light offshore breeze, glassy conditions. Another high-quality window. The combined energy is still very strong at 1091.

Into the second week, things settle down. We see a slow drop in size and quality, landing on a pattern of smaller, cleaner mornings. Thursday the 9th, Friday the 10th, and Saturday the 11th all offer 4 to 4ft SSW swell with glassy conditions in the morning—decent, fun waves for a wider crew. Afternoons get choppy with onshore breezes.

From Sunday the 12th onward, the swell fades further, dropping under 3ft for much of the time. The period shortens too, losing that groundswell punch. Mornings stay glassy, but the wave height and energy are low. There's a tiny bump on Tuesday morning, July 14th, with 2ft of S swell at 17 seconds, but it's small. From that second Sunday on, it's longboard or flat conditions. Better to wait for the next pulse.

To sum it up: the absolute best windows are the biggest, glassiest sessions. Friday morning, July 3rd and Tuesday morning, July 7th are your winners. Both have serious power and perfect conditions. Don't sleep on '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.
