The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's cooking for this stretch.
Scoping the whole 16-day window, I gotta lay it down straight – this is a grim run. We've got a massive hole at the start with absolutely nothing happening. The first real whisper of a wave doesn't come knocking for ages.
The conditions are a total write-off, with onshore and cross-onshore winds busting up any little bump that tries to rear its head. The water’s sitting about 75°F, which is a degree warmer than usual for early August, so the boardies are staying on.
We're looking at Cabo Roche here, a consistent spot that's good for beginners and exposed to the SW. For the first week and a half, from Tuesday the 4th right through to Tuesday the 18th, it’s a total ghost town. Everything is flagged as "poor surf conditions." The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 feet, with short, weak periods. The energy is barely a whisper. Wind is garbage – straight onshore from the W or WNW every single day, just churning the ocean into a washing machine. We get a few moments of side-shore wind, but the swell is just too small and weak to do a blessed thing.
The one little flicker in this whole period comes right at the end. On Wednesday morning the 19th of August, we get a shift. The wind switches to a light side-offshore from the SE at 9 mph, cleaning the surface right up. The swell is still nothing to shout about – about 3 feet from the WNW with a short period, and the energy is low – but it’s clean and surfable. It ain't a standout, not by any stretch, but it's the only window of clean waves in over two weeks. The afternoon wind picks up to 16 mph, so the morning is your one and only chance.
So here's the deal. The one and only recommendation for this stretch is Cabo Roche on the morning of Wednesday the 19th of August. The swell is a tiny 3 feet from the WNW, but with that side-offshore wind, it'll be clean. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, so this is a session for the longboards and foamies. For everyone else, you’re gonna need a lot of patience or a kite. This is the kind of dry spell that's pretty normal for this area when the swell just can't line up and the wind won't play ball.
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.
