Cabo Blanco Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Cabo Blanco over the next couple of weeks.

Overall, we’re looking at a pretty consistent run of small, clean surf. Nothing massive, but plenty of glassy mornings to get the log or a fish out. This is a long period groundswell scenario – those 16 to 18 second intervals mean proper lines rolling in, but the size stays modest, so it’ll be peeling nicely rather than closing out. Perfect for a cruiser session. The first real standout is Friday the 14th – that morning is where it’s at. We’ve got a 3ft SW groundswell (18 seconds) with absolute calm conditions, no wind at all. The combined energy pushes up to 678 (moderate) and it’s shaping up for a really tidy session. Water temp here feels about average for this time of year. Cabo Blanco is an exposed SW spot, so this direction is bang on, and while crowds are possible now and then, a weekday with this kind of glass should thin ‘em out a bit.

Leading up to that, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th both have glassy, clean mornings with small 2–2ft SW swell, but those afternoons get ruined by onshore breezes and even some thunderstorms. The energy is weak to moderate (341–373) on those mornings, so it’s worth it if you can sneak out early. Thursday the 13th is similar – a clean 2ft SSW morning, but it turns messy by lunch.

After Friday’s peak, Saturday the 15th still has a great morning – 4ft SW, glassy, with 704 combined energy (moderate) – but the afternoon turns cross-on. Sunday the 16th onwards gets a bit messier with wind ruining quality; morning sessions on Monday the 17th are light cross-shore and only marginal. Then we have a bit of a lull in clean windows from Tuesday afternoon through the weekend.

The next clear standout after that first week is Wednesday the 19th morning. Calm, glassy, 4ft SSW swell at 11 seconds. Energy is 650 (moderate). That’s the biggest clean swell of the whole window, but it’s still more than manageable for most surfers. Not big enough to call it expert-only, but enough to get a proper drop in.

The rest of the second week – from Thursday the 20th through to Wednesday the 26th – follows a similar pattern: small, clean mornings (2ft to 3ft S/SW) with calm or near-calm winds, but those afternoons blow onshore or go glassy but with poor quality. The energy drops right off into the 200–300 range (weak) by the end of the run. Nothing that’ll blow your socks off, but if you’re flexible with your schedule, there’s a wave to be had almost every morning right through.

Bottom line: Friday the 14th morning and Wednesday the 19th morning are the pick of the bunch. Don’t sleep on ‘em.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
