Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming our way at Cabo Blanco, starting Sunday afternoon, July 5th. The water is sitting at a warm 87°F, which is a couple of degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a bath out there.
The first pulse arrives Sunday afternoon, but it’s a bit of a messy one. Swell is a modest 3 ft from the SSW with a period of 14 seconds, but the wind is onshore from the SW at 6 mph. The wave energy is moderate (587), but it’s not the cleanest. You can probably find something, but it’s not the best.
The real standout comes early on Monday morning, July 6th. The wind drops to absolutely glassy, dead calm. We’ve got a clean 3 ft swell from the SSW, but check out the period – 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is solid (878). This is a great session for a longboard or a fish. The point break setup here will really love that long period, giving you some nice, lined-up walls.
The following morning, Tuesday, July 7th, is another beauty, but it’s for the more experienced crew. The swell pushes up to 5 ft from the SSW, with a 18-second period – that’s a lot of juice (combined energy of 1803). The wind is glassy from the SSE at only 3 mph. This is going to be powerful, clean, and pumping. If you’re not comfortable in overhead surf, this one might be a bit much for you, but for the advanced surfer, this is the best on offer.
The quality continues through the week with clean morning sessions, though the afternoons tend to get a bit of a cross-onshore breeze and a risk of thunderstorms. Wednesday morning, July 8th, is another glassy one with 5 ft, 16-second SSW swell (1091 combined energy).
Heading into the second week, the swell settles down a bit but stays consistent. The standout mornings are Saturday, July 11th, with glassy conditions and 4 ft, 16-second SSW swell, and Friday afternoon, July 17th, when the wind goes glassy again with a clean 4 ft, 13-second swell.
Overall, the first week is the one to get excited about. The combination of long-period groundswell and glassy mornings is rare. This spot is fairly consistent, so you don’t see long blanks. Get on it 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.
