Cabo Blanco Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, this is Rusty comin' at you. Let's get into it.

We've got two weeks of potential ahead at Cabo Blanco, and to be honest, the first few days look like they're gonna deliver the best of the run. The water is sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than what we usually get at this time of year, so that's a nice little bonus for the early sessions.

Kicking off on Friday the 4th, it's a bit of a write-off with a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-onshore breeze chopping up a 4ft SW swell. You'll feel that moderate wave energy (993), but the wind's not doing us any favours, so it's a day for the die-hards only.

Now, hold onto your boards, because Saturday the 5th morning is where it's at. We've got glassy conditions, zero wind, and a solid 4ft groundswell rolling in from the SW with a long 16-second period. That's 863 (moderate energy) of clean, lined-up power coming straight into that exposed SW swell window. It's not huge, but it's gonna be gorgeous.

Sunday the 6th morning is another beauty. Glassy again, with the swell holding at 4ft from the SW, 15-second period and 685 (moderate energy). It's going to be clean and fun.

The rest of the first week and into the second week is a bit more of a mixed bag. We get a run of mornings with glassy conditions, but the swell drops a bit. Monday the 7th morning is glassy with 3ft SW swell (431), Tuesday the 8th morning is glassy with a smaller 2ft SSW groundswell (475), and Wednesday the 9th morning is glassy with 3ft SSW (518). The quality is there because of the wind, but the size is getting smaller. Afternoons are generally ruined by onshore breezes and thunderstorm risks.

Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th mornings both look glassy again with 3ft and 3ft SW swell, respectively. Saturday the 12th morning is glassy with a dropping 3ft SW swell. The energy levels are dropping each day, from 597 down to 308. It's still surfable, but it's not the standout action of the first weekend.

There's a longer gap in quality after that. From Sunday the 13th right through to Friday the 18th, the mornings are mostly glassy, but the swell is small—between 2ft and 3ft. That Monday the 14th morning has a 3ft SSW swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it's not going to have much punch. It's going to be a quiet week.

The final standout, if you're looking that far ahead, is Saturday the 19th morning. A tiny 2ft SW swell rolling in with a very long 20-second period and glassy conditions. It's a promise, not a guarantee this far out, but that kind of period usually means some clean, long lines at this spot if it fills in. Keep an eye on it.

Crowds are only listed as "sometimes" here, so you're not looking at a circus, thankfully.

Rusty out.
