The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Cabo Roche over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at this run and it’s a bit of a tough one. The whole 16-day window is pretty flat and messy. The waves are small, the wind is mostly cross-onshore, and the scores are low. The only glimmer of hope comes on Sunday the 19th of July, but even that’s a very ordinary session.
The first real opportunity is on Sunday morning, the 19th of July. The swell is tiny, just 3 ft coming from the west, with a weak period of 6 seconds. The wave energy is negligible (48). But the wind is glassy – dead calm, offshore from the WSW at 3 mph. That’s the only time the conditions clean up. The water temperature is about average for the time of year. It’s not a standout, but it’s the only wave that’s remotely clean. For a beginner, at 3 ft, it’s fine, but it’s not going to get you excited.
After that, it’s back to the same story. The wind picks up and the surf stays small and choppy. From the 20th through to the 29th, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore from the WNW, and the swell is hanging around 2 ft to 3 ft, with periods under 8 seconds. That’s short-period, weak windswell. The energy readings are all well under 100 – weak stuff.
There is a slight bump in size on Tuesday the 28th of July morning, with the swell showing 4 ft from the WNW, and the energy jumps to 217 – that’s moderate energy finally. But the wind is cross-onshore from the NW at 9 mph, so it’s going to be choppy and messy. At 4 ft, it’s borderline for a beginner, but with the wind and chop, it’s not a good option.
The last session on Wednesday the 30th of July morning is just more of the same: 3 ft, cross-onshore wind, poor.
So, to be straight with you, the best on offer is that Sunday morning. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only glassy window. The rest of the outlook is a write-off for paddle surfing. The wind is just too strong and too cross-onshore for the tiny swell to hold any shape. Honestly, if you’re into kite surfing, the stronger afternoons with the cross-onshore wind and a bit of chop might be more interesting than trying to paddle in this.
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.
