The Lowdown
Grab your board, but don't get your hopes up too high, folks. We're looking at a pretty bleak stretch ahead at Cabo Roche. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent waves. There's just no swell to speak of, and what little shows up is weak and messy.
Starting from today, Sunday the 13th, through to Monday the 28th, it's a long, flat, and frustrating run. We're talking about waves so small they barely register – 0.3ft to 0.7ft at best, and even then, it's mostly from the west with short, weak periods. The combined energy is pitiful, often in the single digits or low teens (like 12 on Sunday morning). It's just not surfable.
The water temperature is a warm 73°F, which is about average for this time of year, but that's the only thing that's normal. The winds are a mixed bag. We'll see some strong offshore breezes early on, like 28 mph from the east on Sunday, which would be great for a cleanup, but with no swell, it's just blowing over a flat ocean. It would be hard work paddling into nothing. Later in the week, we get some lighter winds, even a glassy moment on the afternoon of the 23rd, but again, no waves to take advantage of it.
The best I can say is that from around the 15th to the 17th, we might see a tiny bump to 2ft, but it's short-period windswell (6-7 seconds) and the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, so it'll be choppy and ugly. Not worth a paddle.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if the wind holds, but for us wave chasers, it's a total bust. There's not a single standout session in this entire forecast. The swell energy is weak across the board, and the consistency is non-existent. Hang up the wettie for a couple weeks and keep an eye on the charts – forecasts can change, and it can't stay this poor forever.

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