Alright mates, Rusty here with the straight talk.
We’re looking at a pretty bleak stretch ahead for Cabrillo Point. This spot is a sheltered, advanced-only point break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and right now, it’s barely ticking over. The water’s sitting at about 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight.
The first recommendation doesn’t come until Sunday, July 19th, and even then it’s marginal. That leaves a gap of over a week with no surf worth talking about. On the 19th, we’ve got a long-period groundswell from the SSE at about 3ft and a period of 16 seconds, bringing moderate wave energy (589). The wind is light and onshore from the south, so it’ll be clean but tiny. It’s a long-period swell, which at a point break like this can actually wrap in nicely, but the size is just too small to get excited about. Monday morning the 20th is similar – 3ft from the south, period 14 seconds, moderate energy (570), with light onshore wind. Still marginal.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions with tiny surf and cross-shore breezes through the second week. Nothing stands out as a true goer. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area. Best to sit this one out and wait for the forecasts to change.

Information about the Cabrillo Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cabrillo Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cabrillo Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cabrillo Point 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 (Cabrillo Point) 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 Cabrillo Point 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.
