Cabo Blanco Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. We've got a pretty solid run of surf coming up at Cabo Blanco. The forecast shows a nice building trend through the first week, with some real standouts for clean, lined-up waves.

We'll kick off Thursday morning the 27th with small but clean 1ft swell from the SW, with a very long 18-second period. The water is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Thursday morning is glassy, making the most of that tiny groundswell. The combined swell energy is moderate (173). Thursday afternoon gets messy with a cross-on wind, so don't bother.

Friday the 28th morning is the real gem. Completely glassy again, swell ticks up ever so slightly to 2ft from the SW, but the period stretches out to a massive 20 seconds. The energy jumps to moderate-to-strong (359). That's some serious long-period groundswell for a tiny wave; it'll be super clean and glassy, perfect for a longboard. Expect it to be best on the points and reefs here, as a period that long can make beach breaks a bit straight. Afternoon sees the same cross-on wind, so it's a morning-only window.

Saturday the 29th morning is another cracker. Swell jumps to 4ft from the SW, still a good 16-second period, with glassy conditions. The energy is strong (694). This is a proper fun wave. By afternoon it gets onshore and messy, so get out early.

Sunday the 30th is more of the same goodness. A clean 4ft SW swell with a 14-second period and glassy conditions in the morning. The energy is still strong (717). This is the kind of stuff that has you grinning ear to ear. Afternoon again goes onshore. Monday the 31st morning holds with a clean 3ft SW swell, 13-second period, and glassy conditions. Energy remains strong (547). We're into a really consistent run of clean mornings here.

From Tuesday the 1st of September through Wednesday the 2nd, the size drops back but the quality holds. 3ft to 3ft from the SSW/SW, with glassy conditions on the Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning. Energy is moderate (301-458). Still very surfable.

Then, keep your eye on Saturday the 5th of September. The morning delivers 5ft of SW swell with a 16-second period and glassy conditions. The combined energy here hits strong (1049). This is the standout of the whole outlook. It’s excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The swell direction from the SW matches perfectly with what this break wants. The crowds here can be a thing sometimes, but on a morning like that with such quality, it'll be worth it. After that, we see a slow taper through the second week, with more clean mornings on Sunday the 6th (4ft, glassy), and Monday the 7th (3ft, glassy). A couple of promising mornings on the 9th and the 11th of September as well, but a bit smaller. The second week is definitely a case of the glassy mornings being your ticket.

Overall, the run from Friday 28th morning all the way through to Saturday 5th morning is the main event, with that Saturday being the absolute top shelf. Get on it.

Rusty.
