The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks. To be honest, the surf is looking pretty gutless for a while. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly onshore wind-slop ahead. The swell energy is just nowhere near what we need – we’re talking readings in the 20s and 30s, which is just weak sauce. It’s going to be a frustrating time if you’re hunting for a real wave.
The first real pulse of energy doesn’t show up until Friday the 14th. The morning will see the swell bump up to about 3.6ft, with the energy jumping to 246. It’s still not big, but it’s something. The wind will be light and cross-on, which will mess with the surface a bit, but it’s the best thing on offer at that point. The swell direction is from the WNW, which is a bit off from the SW optimum for Cabo Roche, so it won’t be perfect, but it’s surfable.
After that little blip, it fades back out again for a few days. The next thing worth a look is the morning of Tuesday the 18th. We see a similar size, 4.3ft, also from the WNW, with moderate energy (124). The wind is onshore, so expect some chop. The period is short, around 6 seconds, so it’s not going to have any punch.
Honestly, the standout is that Friday morning. It’s not a classic, but it’s the most promising window. The swell is slightly better, and the energy is the highest we see. The rest of the time, you’re looking at dribbly 2ft to 3ft waves with onshore winds. There will be some glassy moments early on the 11th and 12th, but with no swell to back it up, it’s just a flat, clean ocean. It’s a tough run, but that’s how it goes sometimes. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, keep your expectations low and your board ready for that Friday the 14th morning session.

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.
