The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next sixteen days at Cabo Roche.
Straight up, this is a pretty quiet stretch of weather, and there's a whole lot of nothing happening for a long time. The first little flicker of a wave is on Saturday morning, the 29th of August. We're looking at a tiny 2ft of swell from the West, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak (51). The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is about 1° warmer than normal for this time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there. The real bonus is the wind – glassy, from the East at 3 mph. It'll be surfable, but very ordinary. After that, it's a desert. The whole of Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and most of Thursday are a write-off. The swell drops to 2ft or 2ft, and the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, making it a total mess. Not worth paddling out for.
The whole of the first week of September is flat. From Thursday the 3rd right through to the 7th, swell is barely registering at 0.7ft to 1.0ft. The energy is down in the single digits or low teens. Even with some clean offshore winds here and there on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday mornings, there's just no wave to ride. It's a total blank run.
We do get a tiny pulse of energy on the 8th and 9th of September. The swell picks up a little to 2ft and 3ft, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, so it's going to be messy and bumpy. Not a good time.
Finally, there is one interesting blip way out in the forecast. On Sunday morning, the 13th of September, we get a long-period groundswell. The swell is only 1ft from the West, but the period is a massive 16 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 113 (moderate). It's also glassy calm with zero wind. For a spot like Cabo Roche, that long period is going to make the most of that tiny height. It's the only standout on the whole forecast, but it's a long way off, so keep an eye on it. The afternoon of the 13th sees the wind pick up and the swell get messy, so that morning window is the only one to aim for.
So, for the next two weeks, the only real game in town is a very small, very long-shot window on the morning of the 13th of September. Everything else is a flat, blown-out mess.
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.
Cabo Roche is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Conil de la Frontera. If you plan a holiday in Andalucia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Conil de la Frontera. Conil de la Frontera has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
