Alright, grab a coffee. Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for us.

Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day run, this is a tough stretch. The numbers are pretty flat pretty much the whole way through. We’re looking at a long gap of nothing special until things try to pick up a little around the second weekend.

Let’s start at the beginning. For Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th of July, the swell is a tiny `0.7ft` from the West, with periods all over the place. The real killer here is the wind – we’re looking at `28 mph` to `25 mph` easterly offshore breezes. Yeah, it’s clean, but it’s howling. It’s “strong offshore and clean but hard to paddle into” – you’ll be fighting like crazy just to sit out there for nothing waves. Combined swell energy is a paltry 6 to 11 – that’s weak stuff. Forget it.

The whole first week of July continues in the same vein. Through Sunday the 5th, Monday the 6th, Tuesday the 7th, and Wednesday the 8th, that West swell drops to `0.3ft` or stays around `0.7ft-1.0ft`. Winds are mostly offshore or cross-offshore until Tuesday arvo when it turns onshore. The energy levels are bottoming out at 2 to 8. Just no power. I wouldn't bother paddling out. It’s a write-off.

We get a tiny flicker of something on Thursday the 10th of July morning – there’s a `3ft` West swell starting to show, with a short period of 5 seconds, pushing the combined energy up to 56 (moderate energy). The wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the SW, so it’ll be a bit choppy. It’s still “poor surf conditions”. For a total beginner, *maybe* the size is okay but the quality is just bad.

The best of a bad bunch – and I mean the *standout* in a desert – might be the Tuesday morning of the 14th of July. We get a tiny `1ft` West swell, period of 8 seconds, but the wind is showing as SSW at `3 mph` and glassy. That “glassy” mention is a big deal. For that one session, it’ll be clean. But we’re talking about a 1ft wave here. Not exactly going to be a classic.

Then again on Wednesday the 15th of July morning, another glassy window with a `1.0ft` West swell. Again, clean but tiny. Combined energy is only 10.

We do see a bit more size trying to show up for the second week. On Friday the 18th of July morning, we have a `3ft` swell from the WNW with a 6-second period, pushing the energy to 76. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the SW. Then that arvo, the combined energy hits a 100 (moderate wave energy) with a `3ft` swell, but the wind turns onshore from the WNW at `12 mph`. That’ll be messy.

Cabo Roche is generally a consistent spot, so this blank run is a bit of a shocker, but it happens. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting around `74°F` with a positive anomaly of `3°F`.

In summary: don't get your hopes up for the next two weeks. The morning of Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th will be your cleanest windows, but you’ll be on a longboard fighting for ankle-biters. That bigger push on the 18th has some energy but the wind kills it. If you *have* to get wet, pick the glassy mornings, but be prepared for a frustrating session.

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.

Cabo Roche is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Conil de la Frontera. If you plan a holiday in Andalucia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Conil de la Frontera. Conil de la Frontera has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
