The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Cabo Roche over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty bleak picture for the first week and a half. The swell is small and weak, and the wind is mostly from the wrong direction, putting a chop on things or blowing straight onshore. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only comfort.
We don’t really get anything worth paddling out for until Monday the 27th of July. The morning shows a little bump of 3 ft from the WNW, but the real story is the wind turns cross-offshore from the SSE. That’s a clean look, and the combined energy is a weak 44, so it’s not going to be powerful, but it’ll be ridable and smooth. That’s the best of a bad bunch for the first week.
Then we hit a dry spell. From Tuesday the 28th right through until Friday the 31st of July, the swell just drops out. We’re talking ankle-snappers of 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft. The wind goes offshore and even glassy at times, which is a tease, but with combined energy values as low as 1 to 12, there’s just nothing to push you around. A total of about 4 days with no real surf.
We finally see a glimmer on Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning brings a knee-high 2 ft from the west, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the ESE. Combined energy is a weak 45, but it’s clean, and the conditions are described as surfable. It’s not a standout, it’s barely a ripple, but after that long wait, it’s the only window that’s even close to workable.
So, the standout? If you’re desperate, Monday the 27th of July morning is your best bet. The swell is small, but the clean cross-offshore wind will make it the most pleasant session of the whole forecast. Don’t expect barrels, just expect a few smooth lines. For the truly committed, Sunday the 2nd of August morning is the next chance, but it’s more of a longboard and a prayer.
There’s no big swell, no power, and no real quality for experts or beginners. The setup is more of a relaxing paddle than a proper surf. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, things can change.
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.
