The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way over the next couple of weeks at Cabo Roche.
Honestly, the first week or so is pretty grim. The swell is small and the wind is just not playing ball. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions with onshore and cross-onshore winds, mostly from the west or northwest, bumping up what little energy is there. The combined energy is weak, sitting in the 20s, 30s, 40s, and low 100s – nothing to get excited about. Swell heights are struggling to get past 3ft, with periods hanging around the 5-10 second mark, mostly short-period, wind-driven slop. It’s mostly choppy, with a bit of a bump on it. Not worth paddling out.
There is a little glimmer of hope on Friday the 7th of August in the morning. We get a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE at only 6 mph, which cleans things up nicely. The swell is still weak, about 3ft from the WNW with a short 6-second period, and the combined energy is only 84, so it's not powerful. It’s surfable but the conditions are just very ordinary. Not a standout, but it’ll be the best of a bad bunch for the early days.
Then we hit a bit of a dead zone again until the week after.
The real, and really the only, decent window shows up on Wednesday the 12th of August. We get a clean-up. The morning has a moderate offshore from the ESE at 12 mph, with 1ft of swell from the west at a 9-second period. The combined energy is weak at 49, so don’t expect barrels, but the wind is offshore and clean. Then the afternoon goes glassy – a 3 mph wind from the SE, dead calm. Same small 2ft swell from the west at 9 seconds, 54 energy. It’s tiny, but that glassy surface is a treat. That’s your best opportunity for a smooth, clean session on the small stuff.
Thursday the 13th of August morning also has a gentle offshore from the east at 9 mph, with 2ft swell from the west at 6 seconds (57 energy). It’s clean again, but the swell is super short-period and weak.
So, if you’re a local, don’t hold your breath for the next 10 days. The one and only proper standout is the glassy afternoon on Wednesday the 12th of August. It’s small and weak, but it’ll be the most pleasant surf you’ll see all period. After that, it fades back into small, wind-affected junk.
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.
