The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me level with you about the surf outlook for Cabo Roche.
We’re looking at a real flat spell, no two ways about it. The 16-day window kicks off, but there’s a big gap right at the start. You’re not getting anything worth paddling out for today or for the next solid week. From Wednesday the 16th all the way through to the morning of Tuesday the 23rd of September, it’s just a whole lot of nothing – tiny heights, weak energy, and choppy to blown-out conditions for the first few days. Even with some offshore wind coming in from the weekend, the swell is so small it’s barely a ripple.
The first proper flicker of hope comes on Wednesday the 23rd of September in the morning. We’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the west with a period of 16 seconds. That’s a very long period groundswell, so it’ll have more energy behind it than the size suggests (combined energy of 86). The wind will be offshore from the ESE at 16 mph, so the surface will be clean. For the sheer lack of anything else, this is the standout, but it’s a tiny one. That very long period (16 seconds) means the sets will be few and far between, and at a beach setup, it might break a bit straight. It’s really just a novelty ride. The afternoon sees the wind pick up hard, making it tough.
After that, it’s back to the same story – puny swell and often strong offshore winds that just make it impossible to stay in the pocket. The only other breath of life is on Saturday the 26th of September in the morning. Same story: 1ft from the west, 15-second period (74 combined energy). The wind is light from the ENE at 6 mph, so it’ll be glassy clean. It’s still tiny, but with some patience you might snag a little waist-high runner before the wind flips onshore in the afternoon.
Bottom line: This is a tough run for Cabo Roche. There are no decent waves on offer. It’s really a time to wax the board for a different spot or wait for a better system. Even the "standout" windows are for very small, inconsistent surf that won't get your heart racing. The water temp is around 71°, which is pretty average for this time of year.
Best Bet: Keep an eye on Wednesday morning the 23rd and Saturday morning the 26th of September for the cleanest, most organized tiny waves, but don't expect much.
Rusty.

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.
