The Lowdown

Right on, let’s have a look at what’s cooking. The next week or so is a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a clear standout if you’re patient. The first decent window kicks off Monday the 27th of July.

We’re starting with a nice little pulse of groundswell. Monday morning, the 27th, Cabo Blanco is seeing a solid 3 ft swell from the SW, with a super long period of 19 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reading of 904 backs that up – moderate to strong stuff. Best of all, it’s glassy with a light easterly breeze keeping it clean as a whistle. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 86°, which is a nice bonus. This is a great chance to get out there and score some clean, lined-up waves, especially if you know the break. Remember, that long period means longer waits between sets, but the paddle out should be a breeze.

Tuesday the 28th builds on it. The morning sees the swell bump up to 4 ft from the SW, period still a very healthy 18 seconds, and the energy jumps to 1095. Again, glassy conditions with light ESE winds. This is the highlight of the first part of the run. It’s solid, clean, and has that deep ocean push. It’s not too big for most competent surfers, but the power is there.

Wednesday the 29th morning is a special treat. The wind goes totally calm, absolute glass, with the swell still holding at 4 ft from the SW. This is the kind of morning you wake up early for. The period has dropped a touch to 16 seconds, but the energy is still strong at 898. Could be some really memorable waves.

After Wednesday, things start to taper off. Thursday morning the 30th is still clean but smaller at 4 ft and dropping energy. From Friday the 31st through to about Wednesday the 5th of August, the surf goes pretty small and inconsistent, with lots of afternoons getting chopped up by onshore breezes. There’s a bit of a lull here.

Now, look further down the line. Sunday the 8th of August morning is one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a clean 3 ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, building energy up to 565. It’s dead calm with offshore NW winds. That’s a proper little clean-up set.

But the true standout? That’s Monday the 10th of August. The morning delivers a 2 ft swell from the south, but check the period: 19 seconds. The combined energy is a punchy 504. It’s glassy, with a light NNE breeze. That is a long-period gem for a spot like Cabo Blanco. It will be lined up, clean, and have that tell-tale energy. This is the one you want to aim for. It’s deeper into the forecast, so keep an eye on it, but the signs are excellent.

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.
