Alright mates, Rusty here with the real talk on Cabo Roche.
We’re looking at a pretty grim stretch of surf ahead. For the first week and a half, it’s mostly flat, tiny, and weak. Wave heights barely hit 0.6 feet (0.2m to 0.6m) and are mostly short-period windswell that won’t hold a face. The combined swell energy is pitiful, hanging out in the single digits and low double digits (e.g., 8, 21, 64), telling you there’s no grunt. Onshore winds hammer the afternoons, and even the clean mornings offer nothing to ride. There’s a long, flat gap with no worthwhile surf until around July 11th.
If you’re desperate to get wet, your one true window – and I’m serious, the *only* one – is the morning of Wednesday, July 8th. It’s dead glassy, with a ghost of a breeze from the SSW at 5 km/h. The swell is 1 foot (0.3m) from the WNW with a period of only 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a lowly 6, but the surface will be mirror-flat. That’s your chance for a tiny, clean, foamie session. Don’t expect any push. Also keep an eye on the morning of Friday, July 11th: the swell jumps up to 3 feet (0.9m) from the W with 6 seconds and 64 combined energy – the biggest we’ll see – but it’s onshore wind at 15 km/h from the W, so it will be a lumpy, choppy mess. That’s a kite day, not a paddle day.
Cabo Roche is a consistent spot exposed to the SW, but we’re getting swell from the W and WNW most of the time, which isn’t its sweet spot. The water is a comfortable 73°, slightly warmer than usual for the season.
In the second week, everything stays tiny, from 0.6 feet to 2 feet (0.2m to 0.7m), with onshore winds wrecking the surface. The morning of Friday, July 17th, shows a 3 foot (1.0m) swell from the WNW with 91 combined energy, but the wind is blowing onshore at 20 km/h from the W – a blown-out closeout. Not for paddling.
Honestly, unless you are a beginner or a kiter, this 16-day stretch is a write-off. The only thing worth mentioning is that glassy Wednesday morning, July 8th.

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.
