The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get straight into it. Rusty here.
Honestly, my friend, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a real flat spell for Cap 3000 over the next 16 days. The first proper surf won’t even show up until later in the period, but even then, it’s nothing to write home about. The overall pattern is a long, dry run of tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. There’s a gap of many days with no real recommendations at the start.
The first time we see anything at all is on Wednesday, July 22nd, and it’s a struggle. The morning is glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft from the east with a period of just 4 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 33 (low energy), and poor surf conditions are the story. It’s a bit of a tease, but not worth paddling out for.
As we move into the following week, it’s more of the same. Thursday, July 24th has a morning window with offshore wind from the northwest at 6 mph, keeping things clean, but the swell is a tiny 0.3 ft. The combined energy is a measly 1. You’d be floating more than surfing.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is Sunday, July 26th. The morning shows a 1 ft swell from the southwest, period of 4 seconds, and some offshore wind from the north at 6 mph. The combined energy is 10 (weak) and the conditions are clean. It’s still tiny, but for this stretch, it’s the best on offer. The break is rarely breaks, so any surf is a bonus. For a beginner, it’s totally fine as it’s under 5 ft, but don’t expect much push.
The water temperature? No specific number given, but it’s labeled as average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
The rest of the days are filled with glassy mornings but no swell, or onshore winds that chop up the tiny waves. This place is a tough ticket for the next couple of weeks. The combined energy values are all below 100, confirming the weakness. You’re looking at a long dry spell, which is more normal for this area when it goes quiet.
Rusty.

Information about the Cap 3000 Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cap 3000 provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cap 3000 can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cap 3000 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 (Cap 3000) 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 Cap 3000 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.
