The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Honestly, this forecast for Cabo Roche is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of disappointing surf. The first real recommendation doesn’t show up until the morning of Wednesday, 26 August. Before that, it’s a whole lot of nothing—poor surf conditions with small, weak swell and messy wind. You’ll be waiting nearly a week and a half for anything worth paddling out for.
The only standout in this entire 16-day window is Cabo Roche itself on the morning of Wednesday, 26 August. It’s not big, with a summary swell of 3ft from the WNW, but the period is a short 6 seconds. The real magic is the wind: glassy, from the S at just 3 mph. For a spot that’s mostly exposed to SW swell, getting a clean, glassy morning is a gift. The combined energy is weak (47), so don’t expect power, but for a small-wave session with a longboard or a funboard, it’ll be your only real chance. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The rest of the period is a write-off. After that Wednesday window, the wind swings back onshore or cross-on, and the swell stays small and weak. The combined energy values are mostly in the low double or single digits, which tells you there’s just no juice in the water. There’s a couple of cleaner moments on the 27th and 28th, but the swell is tiny—1ft or less. Even the glassy morning on the 26th is the only thing that scrapes a score of 1 out of 10, and that’s only because it’s surfable, not good.
If you’re a beginner, the 3ft swell on the 26th is fine, but it won’t be punchy. For anyone else, it’s a waiting game. The forecast can change, but as it stands, this is a blank run for Cabo Roche. Hang tight.
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.
