Right then, let’s have a look at what’s coming.
This stretch kicks off with a solid pulse of groundswell, and the first session is a beauty. Tuesday 7th July starts out glassy at Cabo Blanco (Peru), with a 1.6m swell pulsing in from the SSW at a very long 18 seconds. The water is a very unusual 2° warmer than normal, so it’s properly warm out there. The combined wave energy is pumping at 1803 (strong to very strong). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – that size and long period makes it a proper expert wave, especially at an exposed spot like this. The morning will be pristine.
That Tuesday afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the surf quality drops right off, so stick to the mornings this week.
Wednesday morning 8th July is clean again, glassy, with a 1.4m SSW swell, still a long 16-second period and moderate energy (1091). Another excellent window for those who can handle it. Thursday 9th and Friday 10th mornings see the swell easing to 1.1m and then 1.0m, still with very clean conditions and low wind. The wave energy drops to 655 and 578 (moderate). Good clean surfs, but the size is backing off.
Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th mornings hold 1.2m and 1.1m SSW swells, with glassy or clean conditions and cross-offshore breezes. The energy stays moderate (795 and 595). Solid, fun mornings.
There’s a bit of a lull through the middle of the second week, with swell dropping to 0.9m or so and only brief clean windows, but we do get a glassy morning on Monday 13th July with a 0.9m SSW swell at 13 seconds (593 energy). Not a standout, but a paddle.
The real standout of this whole 16-day run is way out on Tuesday 22nd July. The early morning session looks like the best on offer: a clean, glassy start, with swell building to 1.7m from the SSW, a very long 15-second period, and combined energy jumping back up to 1278 (strong). That is excellent surf for experienced surfers again. It’s a long way off, so treat it as a promising forecast, but if it holds, that Tuesday morning will be the pick of the entire period.
In between, the afternoons are mostly a write-off thanks to onshore breezes, so chase the glassy mornings. Crowds are a possibility at Cabo Blanco, but with this consistency and quality, it’ll be worth joining the lineup.

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.
