The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up.

The coming week is looking pretty good for Cabo Blanco, with the standout window being the Tuesday morning session. The water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 87°F, which is a couple of degrees above what you’d expect.

We’re starting off with a bit of a slow one on Friday afternoon, 24 July. The swell is small at 2 ft from the SW, with a clean 24-second period, but a cross-on wind from the S at 6 mph is making it feel messy. The combined wave energy is moderate (507). It’s a marginal one.

Saturday morning, 25 July, is where it starts to wake up. The swell bumps to 2 ft from the SW, but the wind goes glassy from the E at 3 mph. That’s clean, light surf with moderate energy (656). A solid small-wave session.

Sunday morning, 26 July, sees a similar theme: 3 ft SW swell with glassy conditions from the NNW at 3 mph. Energy is still moderate (618). The afternoon kicks up a notch with 4 ft SW swell, but the wind goes cross-on from the WSW, so it gets a bit messy. The energy is up to 938.

Monday morning, 27 July, is a real treat. The swell is 3 ft from the SW, but the wind is dead calm – glassy as it gets. The energy is a solid 904. This is a beautiful, clean morning.

Now, the real standout: Tuesday morning, 28 July. The swell pushes to 4 ft from the SW with a 18-second period, and the wind is dead calm again. The combined energy jumps to 1085, which is strong. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The glassy conditions will make Cabo Blanco look like a mirror. The swell direction is right on the optimum from the SW, so this is the pick of the fortnight.

Wednesday morning, 29 July, is still good: 4 ft SW swell, glassy conditions from the ESE, and energy at 874. Another very good session.

The second week, from 30 July onward, the swell gradually drops. Thursday morning, 30 July, is clean with 4 ft SW swell and glassy wind, but the period drops to 14 seconds and energy is down to 513. Still fun, but less punch. The following days see smaller SW and SSW swells, with many mornings staying glassy. The energy drops into the 100-400 range, so it’s weak to moderate. The best of the second week is probably Friday morning, 31 July, with 3 ft SSW swell, glassy wind, and 401 energy.

Towards the first week of August, the swell stays small, around 1 ft-3 ft, mostly from the SSW. The mornings are often glassy, but the energy is weak. The 6th and 7th of August, Thursday and Friday mornings, look clean with 3 ft SSW swell and glassy wind, but the energy is around 230. It’s surfable but not exciting.

Overall, there’s no massive swell, but a nice run of clean, glassy mornings. The best swell is the Tuesday, 28 July, morning. After that, we’re in a slow taper. Crowds can be an issue at Cabo Blanco sometimes, so get out early if you can.

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.
