The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. The outlook for Cabo Roche is a bit of a slow grind for the next two weeks, so keep your expectations in check. The first few days are pretty much a write-off, and we’re looking at a long stretch of underwhelming conditions before anything even remotely rideable shows up.
The entire 16-day window kicks off on Saturday, August 1st, with tiny waves and onshore wind. The swell is weak, showing a combined energy of just 30 and it’s about 1 feet from the west. That’s not even worth paddling for. This flat spell drags on through the entire first week and into the second. The water temperature is sitting at 72°, which is about 1° cooler than usual for this time of year, so pretty average for the season.
We’re looking at a gap of about 11 days of nothing really good. The waves stay small, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy readings are all in the double digits – weak. Even when the swell bumps up a little on the 15th of August with a 4 foot swell from the west-northwest, the wind is still messy, and the combined energy (154) is only moderate. It’s still too choppy to get excited about.
The best of a bad bunch shows up on the 12th of August. The morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the southeast, and the swell is 1 feet from the west-northwest. The energy is low at 57, but it’s the cleanest the water will be. The afternoon of the 12th turns glassy, with 1 feet from the west-northwest. It’s tiny, but it’s the only surfable window in the whole run. The 13th and 14th also have clean mornings with the same light cross-offshore vibe, but the swell is still small and weak, around 2 feet. It’s not a standout, just the least bad option.
Honestly, for this spot, it’s a long, quiet period. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the 12th and 13th are your only real shots, but bring a log. The rest is best spent waxing your board and waiting for a better forecast.
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.
