Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range look at what’s coming your way. This forecast has a good run of clean, rideable swell, so let’s get into it.
The pattern for the next couple of weeks is driven by a consistent, long-period SSW groundswell that keeps Cabo Blanco (Cabo-Blanco_1) with waves for most of the period. There’s no gap at the start; we’ve got surf on offer right from Friday morning. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
We kick off Friday, July 3rd with a punchy 5ft SSW swell rolling in at a very long 16 seconds. The energy is strong, coming in at 1255, and with glassy conditions first thing, it’s going to be clean. Now, at 5ft, it’s a solid size, definitely more for the experienced crew. The standout here is definitely Tuesday morning, July 7th. We get a 5ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a powerful 1667. The wind is glassy from the NNW, which will keep the faces perfect. That’s the session to circle on the calendar for any experienced surfer looking for quality.
Saturday morning, July 4th, the swell drops a touch to 4ft but holds that nice 16-second period, and with glassy conditions again, it’s a great option for a broader range of surfers. This clean pattern holds through Sunday and into Monday with plenty of glassy mornings. By Wednesday, July 8th, we still have a solid 5ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, and another glassy morning make it a top pick for the experienced crowd.
As we move into the second week, the energy backs off a bit but the quality sticks around. On July 11th, we’ve got 4ft SSW swell with glassy wind, and again on July 16th with a similar setup.
One thing to note: this spot is fairly consistent, so the lulls won’t last long. The long-period nature of this swell means the sets will have some nice gaps, making the paddle out a bit easier. But keep in mind, with this direction and period, it’ll be at its best.
So, to wrap it up: the real standout is that Tuesday morning, July 7th. If you can only pick one session, that’s your window for some serious, powerful, clean surf. The rest of the run has plenty of fun, manageable waves too.
Stay stoked,
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.
