The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. This is a tough one to call, but I’ll tell you straight.
Look, we’re staring at a pretty bleak 16-day window for Cabo Roche. The whole forecast is a long, slow grind of tiny, weak swell and onshore or cross-onshore winds. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the waiting won’t be cold.
Monday the 20th kicks off with a scrappy 3ft from the WNW, but it’s a short-period 4-second windswell with a moderate onshore breeze. The combined energy is a weak 34. It’s basically a mess. Tuesday the 21st through to the end of the month is more of the same – small, poor surf conditions with no real quality. We’ve got a bit of a pattern of light breezes, but they’re mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping it choppy and uninviting.
The only glimmer of hope, and I mean a tiny one, is on Saturday the 1st of August. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the WNW with a 6-second period, giving a combined energy of 98. It’s still not big, but it’s the biggest we’ll see, and the wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the SE, giving us clean conditions. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s your best bet, but it’s not a standout by any stretch. It’s just the least bad day on offer.
The rest of the first week of August is a total write-off. The swells stay below 1ft, and while the wind goes clean and offshore or even glassy on the 30th of July, the swell is just too small to do anything with. The combined energy drops to single digits.
So, the honest truth? There are no true standouts here. If you’ve got a longboard and you’re desperate, the morning of Saturday the 1st of August is your only real shot. Otherwise, it’s a long, dry spell. Expect a gap of almost two weeks with nothing worth paddling for.

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.
