The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Here’s how it looks in feet.
We’ve got a run of solid, long-period groundswell coming down the pipe for Cacas Point. The water is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might be able to get away with a springsuit if you’re keen. The swell direction is SSW, which lines up with what this point wants. It’s an inconsistent break, so you can’t just rock up whenever, but when it’s on, it’s on.
The window really opens on the morning of Tuesday the 15th. The swell jumps to 4ft from the SSW, with a very long period of 17 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the NNW. That’s top-shelf stuff for a point break – long-period groundswell wraps in nicely here. The combined wave energy is moderate to strong (917). Expect very good surf conditions. This is the standout of the whole forecast.
Wednesday the 16th keeps the quality high in the morning: 5ft from the SSW, 16-second period, clean offshore wind from the NNW. The energy is strong (1119). This is another premium session. The afternoons get chopped by a westerly cross-breeze, so make the dawn patrol.
Thursday the 17th morning is identical magic: 5ft, glassy NNE wind, and again a strong energy reading (917). Get out there before the afternoon cross-breeze kicks in.
We see a nice pulse on Friday the 18th morning – the swell is a bit smaller at 3ft, but the period stretches to a very long 20 seconds, and the energy is still moderate (777). Glassy wind from the ENE. This will be clean and lined up, perfect for a point.
Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th mornings follow the same pattern: glassy, clean, with swell holding around 3ft and long periods of 18-19 seconds. Consistent quality for the early birds.
The following week has some good options too. Monday the 21st morning delivers 4ft from the SSW, 17-second period, and a clean cross-offshore wind (1166 energy). Solid. Tuesday the 22nd afternoon has a weird one – a risk of thunderstorms, glassy ESE wind, and 4ft swell (847 energy). Could be a wild, fun session if you’re into that.
There’s a bit of a dip mid-week, but the next real gem is Sunday the 27th morning. Swell builds back to 5ft from the SSW, 13-second period, glassy NW wind, and strong energy (896). That’s a very good session to close out the run.
Overall, this is an excellent stretch for Cacas Point. The long-period groundswell means better shaped waves and longer lulls between sets, making paddling out easier. Just remember it’s inconsistent – you’ve got to be on it when the conditions line up, and the mornings are your ticket. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so if you see that glassy dawn, don’t sleep on it.
Rusty out.

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