The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Cabo Roche. I’m not gonna lie to you, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The pattern is pretty grim for the next week and a half. We’ve got a long gap of nothing but poor surf, with the wind mostly tearing it apart from the wrong angle. The wind is consistently cross-onshore or onshore, and the swell is weak, short-period stuff that just can’t get its act together. The combined energy is in the weak range, mostly down in the 20s, 30s, and 40s (54, 28, 62, etc.), meaning there’s barely any power in the water. It’s a real battle.
For the first few days, from Saturday 18th July through to Tuesday 29th July, it’s all poor conditions. The waves are tiny, mostly 2 ft to 3 ft, and with a short period of 5 to 6 seconds, it’s just wind slop. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, leaving it choppy and messy. There’s nothing to get excited about.
Then, on Thursday 30th July, we get a tiny glimmer. The morning is glassy, with a light southerly breeze, and the swell is 3 ft from the west with a 6-second period. The combined energy is still weak (50), but the glassy conditions mean the surf will be clean. It’s surfable, but only just. It’s the closest thing to a window we get, but it’s nothing to shout about.
After that, the wind turns offshore on the morning of Saturday 1st August, with a clean 3 ft swell from the WNW, 6-second period, and energy at 50. It’s still a weak, short-period swell, but it’ll be clean. The afternoon of the 1st is clean too, but the swell drops to 2 ft.
Finally, on Sunday 2nd August, we get a fresh offshore breeze from the east at 30 km/h, but the swell is a pathetic 0.5 ft from the WNW with a 9-second period. The energy is just 18. It’s clean, but there’s no wave to ride.
Honestly, the standout, if you can call it that, is the Thursday 30th July morning session. It’s the only time we get glassy conditions with a semi-rideable 3 ft swell. It’s the best of a bad bunch. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off for decent paddle surfing. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, which is the only thing that’s normal.

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.
