Hey crew, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cooking at Cabo Blanco. The story is all about clean mornings and messy afternoons, so time it right.
The real action kicks off on the morning of Monday, July 13th. The water's a warm 87°, running a touch warmer than usual. That morning is glassy with a light easterly breeze, pushing a 3ft SSW groundswell with a 13-second period. The combined energy is a moderate 580, and conditions are looking very good.
The morning of Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th serve up more of the same clean goods: 4ft SSW swell with a solid 13-14 second period under glassy skies. Moderate energy in the mid-400s to low-500s. Good, fun, clean waves.
The standout for the first week is Saturday morning, July 18th. We're looking at a 4ft SSW swell with a 13-second period, combined energy at 508, and a glassy southeast breeze. This is the pick of the bunch for the first seven days.
Now, Cabo Blanco is fairly consistent and exposed to the SW, but the crowds can pop up sometimes, so get out there early.
After the 18th, we get a run of clean but smaller mornings. Check out the morning of Sunday, July 26th – only 2ft of swell, but with a very long 19-second period out of the SW. That's serious groundswell energy, with a combined energy of 418. That long period will make it wave for its size, and it'll be best on the points and reefs.
The big one to watch is Monday morning, July 27th. It's a ways out, but it looks promising. We've got a 4ft S swell with a 14-second period and a combined energy of 972 – that's strong, nearly very strong energy. Glassy conditions with a calm northwest wind. This could be the session of the whole outlook.
After that, the afternoons get ugly and the swell fades. The mornings of the 20th and 21st give you small, clean waves if you're itching for a surf.
Get on it in the mornings.
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.
