Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

The big story over the next couple of weeks is a solid run of SSW groundswell at Cabo Blanco. It’s not all perfect, but there are some genuine standout windows where it all comes together. The swell energy is substantial, hitting a peak of 1091 (combined energy of all swells directed here) right out of the gates, which is a very strong pulse. The water temp anomaly is spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Wednesday the 8th morning is the real highlight. We’ve got a punchy 5ft SSW swell running with a very long 16-second period. This is proper groundswell, and at a break like Cabo Blanco, which is exposed to the SW, that’ll translate to some serious, powerful lines. The kicker is the wind: dead calm, glassy conditions. That’s rare and it’s a major positive. This is the best on offer, but it’s also packing some punch. At 5ft with that energy and period, it’s a big day for confident surfers only. The afternoon on Wednesday fades as a cross-onshore wind messes things up, so the morning window is the key.

Thursday the 9th morning is the next good call. The swell drops a touch to 4ft, but that SSW direction holds with a 15-second period. Glassy again with a light NW breeze. The swell energy is still strong at 655. It’s clean, it’s lined up, and it should be a lot more manageable for a solid intermediate crew. Still a good, fun wave.

There’s then a bit of a lull, with Friday and the weekend offering smaller, less consistent surf. The mornings do stay clean, but the size drops, and the swell period shortens a little. Saturday the 11th has some hope with glassy conditions in the afternoon, but the 4ft swell doesn’t have the same grunt.

Coming back around, Monday the 14th morning is worth a mention. The swell builds back to 4ft with a cross-offshore breeze. Clean conditions and a more user-friendly wave than the first day.

Late in the outlook, Thursday the 23rd morning pops again. We get a resurgence of SSW swell to 5ft with a 12-second period and – you guessed it – dead calm, glassy conditions. This is another standout session for experienced surfers, with strong wave energy at 598. It’s a promising long-range call, though with that kind of lead time, keep an eye on it.

So, to sum it up: Wednesday the 8th morning is the one to circle. Big, clean, powerful groundswell. If that’s a bit too meaty, Thursday the 9th morning and the 23rd morning are your other premium slots. The rest of the time, it’s a mix of clean but small, or a bit choppy.

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.
