The Lowdown
Right then, let’s get into it. Honest truth first: this 16-day run is a flat spell for Cabo Roche. There’s really nothing doing. We’re looking at tiny swell all the way through, and that makes for a pretty grim outlook for anyone who actually wants to paddle out.
The first hint of anything at all shows up on Monday the 7th in the morning. We see a touch of groundswell with a 14-second period, but it's coming in at a weak 1ft from the west, with the energy sitting at only 52 – that’s very weak. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the ESE, so the surface will be clean, but the lack of size is a killer. It’s surfable only if you’re on a log and you’re desperate.
Tuesday the 8th morning brings a slight bump to 3ft from the west, with the period dropping to 11 seconds and the combined energy hitting moderate at 146. That’s the most power we see in the whole 16 days. But the wind turns onshore from the WNW, making it a mess. For a beach-and-reef setup like this, onshore wind just ruins the shape. It honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than for paddling in.
After that, it’s downhill. We get some glassy conditions on Sunday the 6th morning with 1ft from the west-northwest, and again on Friday the 11th morning with 1ft from the west. Perfect conditions for a morning coffee float, but there is zero push.
The second week is worse. By the 14th through the 16th, we get strong offshore winds from the ESE, hitting 25 to 28 mph, which is clean but impossible to paddle into with such tiny swell. The period drops right off too, hitting as low as 4 seconds on the 15th. That’s just wind chop.
So yeah, a long, flat run for Cabo Roche. It’s not unusual for this area to have a quiet period like this. Forecasts might change, but as it stands, keep the board in the bag. Water temps are around 70°F when we do have data, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.

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.
