Alright, grab your wettie, it’s gonna be a quiet one.
Alright, listen up, it’s Rusty here. I’ve had a look at the charts for our stretch of coast around Cabo Roche, and I’ve got to be straight with you – for most of this 16-day run, it’s a real struggle to find anything worth paddling out for. The good news is, while it’s mostly small and messy, there is one moment that just might save the entire period, but you’ll need some patience for it.
For the next week and a half, it’s pretty grim. From Wednesday the 8th all the way through to Friday the 17th of July, it’s just wave after wave of onshore slop. Swell is tiny, mostly around 1.0ft to 3ft, and that wind is just tearing it apart. It’s from the W, WSW, and NW – cross-on or straight on – making everything choppy and difficult. The energy in the water is barely registering most days, with values like 5, 23, or 35 (weak energy). Even the cleaner mornings are getting trashed by the wind. Water temp is sitting at about 72°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least it’s not freezing while you’re getting skunked. Honestly, for the first ten days, leave your board in the car.
Now, here’s the glimmer of hope. The morning of Saturday, July 18th – that looks like our saving grace. The wind drops right out, going glassy with an ESE breeze at 0 mph. We get a bit of a bump in the swell to 4ft from the W, with a weakish period of 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 105 (moderate energy) which is at least something. The wind being glassy will make the ocean look like a lake with some rolling bumps. It's not going to be the wave of the decade, but for a spot that has been starved for weeks, it’s the only real chance for a clean, surfable wave. Because the swell is only just over three feet, it’s fine for most abilities.
After that little taste, the winds swing back onshore from the 19th, and we’re back to small, lumpy conditions through to the end of the period on the 23rd. It's a real flat patch we're in, and for this area, a blank run like this isn't all that unusual when the winds don't cooperate.
Keep your eyes peeled on the 18th morning. That’s the one.
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.
