The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's see what we've got.
To be straight with you, it's a grim stretch for the next week and a half. Tiny waves and onshore junk are the story until we get into the second week. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn't pop up until Saturday, August 22nd, and even that's marginal.
The only session worth planning for is the morning of Sunday, August 23rd, at Cabo Roche. The models are showing a 5ft groundswell out of the WNW with moderate energy (270). But the big win is the wind: light offshore from the East, glassy, clean. That's the kind of morning you wait for. The waves will have some shape and push. That's your window.
Everything before that is a bust. From now through Friday, August 21st, the swell is tiny, rarely over 2ft, and the energy readings are mostly in the weak range. You'll get a clean morning here and there, like Thursday the 13th with a light offshore, but the swell just isn't there to back it up.
Sunday the 23rd is the one. After that, the wind picks up hard on Monday, making a mess of the dropping swell.
So, the long wait is on. Sunday the 23rd morning is the only real standout.
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.
