Table - best surf conditions forecast for Cabo Roche over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast for Cabo Roche is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a long 16-day window, but honestly, there’s hardly a ripple worth paddling for. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn't show up until Friday the 17th, and even then it’s a real struggle. Before that, we’ve got a solid five days of tiny, onshore slop. From the 12th to the 16th of July, it’s all poor surf conditions with wind hitting the face and waves barely scraping 3 ft. The energy is weak, sitting at a combined swell energy of just 56 on the 16th. You’d be better off untangling your fishing line.
Friday the 17th morning is our first little glimmer. The wind swings to a glassy SSW breeze at 3 mph, and we get a 3 ft swell from the WNW with a period of 6 seconds. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The combined energy is only 66, so it’s weak. This is a spot that’s exposed to SW swell, and we’re getting a little WNW wrap, so it’s not going to be pretty. For a beginner-friendly, consistent wave like Cabo Roche, this is flat-out disappointing.
The standout, if you can even call it that, is Saturday morning the 18th. The wind turns cross-offshore from the ESE at 6 mph, cleaning up the 2 ft, 7-second W swell. The combined energy is a paltry 40, but clean conditions are a major win here. That’s the best of the lot. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report.
Then we drop off again. The 19th and 20th are crossed up and weak. Monday the 20th morning goes glassy again with a 3 ft WNW swell, but it’s still poor conditions. The rest of the week and into the next is a slow fade to nothing. By the 24th, we’re looking at 0.7 ft waves, and the 25th to the 27th is flat, with swell energy down to 1 or 2. It’s a long, dry spell.
Look, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the clean windows on the 17th and 18th mornings are your only shot. But don’t expect much. It’s a blank run, plain and simple. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a tough gig.
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.
