The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the lowdown on Cabo Corrientes. This stretch ain’t looking like a winner for the most part. We got a lot of small, messy days, with one big pulse of swell later on that’s blowing sideways.
The water is about 50°F, just a hair warmer than usual for this time of year. You'll feel it’s a little less brisk than normal.
For the first week, we got a big dry spell with nothing worth getting wet for until Wednesday the 16th. That morning shows a 5ft SSE swell at 9 seconds, with moderate wave energy (413), but it's got a light cross-shore wind. It’s marginal, just a chance to get wet if you're really jonesing. The swell fades quick after that. Thursday the 17th has clean 3ft waves with a cross-off breeze, but it’s weak energy (117). Friday and Saturday, the 18th and 19th? Forget it, flat and weak.
Around Monday the 21st, we get a clean offshore breeze at 15 mph and a 2ft east swell. It’s small, with moderate energy (105). The next day, Tuesday the 22nd, is the pick of the first week: a 3ft southerly swell with clean conditions and moderate energy (303). That's your best bet for a clean, small session. The waves will be clean, but don’t plan on anything over waist-high.
Now, for the big news: Saturday the 26th of September. We’re looking at a 8ft southerly swell in the morning, with the combined energy hitting a strong 770. That's a lot of water moving. But it’s got a short 8-second period and a lumpy cross-shore wind. At that size over 8 feet, this is strictly for the experts, and the bumpy conditions will make it a real battle. The afternoon is a similar story with 7ft waves. Lots of power, but no polish.
After that, Sunday the 27th has a 5ft SSE swell but with a light cross-on wind that will mess up the face. Monday and Tuesday, the 28th and 29th, the size drops and the wind turns onshore again.
So, here's the bottom line: if you’re an experienced charger and don't mind a little chop, Saturday the 26th is your day for size. If you just want the cleanest wave, the small but tidy Tuesday the 22nd is your best call. It’s a rough run.
Rusty.

Information about the Cabo Corrientes Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cabo Corrientes provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cabo Corrientes can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cabo Corrientes 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 Corrientes) 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 Corrientes 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.
