The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the 16-day crystal ball for our patch of coast.
Honestly, it's a quiet start and a long wait for anything decent. We're looking at a whole lotta small, weak swell and shredding winds for the first two weeks. The first real glimpse of something worthwhile doesn't show up until around Thursday the 13th of August, and even then it's only just surfable.
For the first week and a half, the energy just isn't there. The combined swell energy barely gets out of double digits, topping out around the 50-80 mark, which is pretty weak. We see a short spike in energy on the 8th and 9th of August, hitting 125 and 121, but the wind is howling from the Northwest at 15 mph, creating a choppy mess. At that point, with those small lumps and strong onshore wind, Cabo Roche is looking more like a kiteboarding spot than a paddle session. The crowds will be at Cabo Roche, but the quality won't be.
The best chance you're going to get across the whole run is on the morning of Thursday, the 13th of August. We've got a small, shin-to-waist high West swell – about 2 ft – coming from the West, and a light ESE cross-offshore breeze at 9 mph. That'll clean the face right up. The period is 6 seconds, so it's short-period wind swell, but it'll be the cleanest we've seen. It's not a standout by any stretch, but it's the pick of a very poor bunch.
Then, on Friday the 14th of August morning, there’s a sniff of something similar, still small at 3 ft from the WNW, but with that clean cross-off breeze again. The confidence on these later dates is low, but for now, that’s your window.
So, if you’re desperate for a paddle, point your board at Cabo Roche on the morning of the 13th or 14th of August. The water temp is about average for the time of year. Otherwise, the long wait for a proper swell continues. Keep the faith, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
