Cabo Blanco Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf shaping up at Cabo Blanco. The ocean’s fired up with moderate to strong wave energy coming in from the SSW, and the water is sitting at 87°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real treat.

The forecast kicks off this Sunday morning, 5 July. It’s glassy with a light ENE breeze at 3 mph, clean conditions, and a nice 4ft swell from the SSW with a 14-second period. The combined energy is 648 (moderate). That’s a lovely, lined-up swell – not too big, not too small. It’s a standout session for the start of the week.

Monday morning, 6 July, keeps the stoke going: flat calm, zero wind, glassy as a mirror. Swell is 3ft from the SSW at 16 seconds, with energy jumping to 879 (moderate). This is another top pick – clean, consistent waves rolling through.

Tuesday morning, 7 July, is the real highlight. We’ve got 5ft of SSW groundswell at a very long 18-second period, and energy cranking up to 1803 (strong). Winds are light SE at 3 mph, glassy. This is excellent for experienced surfers – the power and shape will be unreal at the point. The only thing is, with such a long period, it might be a bit straight for the beach, but here at Cabo Blanco it should be a dream.

Wednesday morning, 8 July, still delivers with 5ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, glassy WNW winds at 3 mph, and energy at 1091 (moderate). Excellent conditions for experienced surfers again. Into the afternoons, the wind turns onshore from the WSW, so mornings are definitely the go.

The second week stays surfable but smaller. Friday morning, 10 July, is a good pick: calm, glassy, 3ft from the SSW at 15 seconds, energy 612 (moderate). Then Saturday morning, 11 July, offers 4ft at 16 seconds with light SE winds – still clean and fun. Sunday morning, 12 July, has a cross-off breeze and 4ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, energy 554 – not a standout but a solid option.

From Monday 13 July onwards, the swell drops and there are a few gaps. Tuesday morning, 14 July, and Wednesday morning, 15 July, both have clean cross-off winds and 2ft to 4ft swells, but energy is lower (393 to 503). Thursday 16 July and Friday 17 July mornings remain clean but small. Saturday 18 July morning is glassy with 3ft at 12 seconds (energy 362) – weak but worth a look if you’re keen.

The final standout arrives on Sunday morning, 19 July: a clean, glassy start with 4ft from the S at 16 seconds and energy 936 (moderate). Then Monday morning, 20 July, finishes the run with 4ft SSW swell, calm winds, and energy 668 – not as punchy but decent.

All in all, the first week has the best juice – don’t miss those Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.

Rusty.
