The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – we're looking at a tough run of days ahead for this region. The situation is grim, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.
To be honest, there's nothing worth paddling out for in this entire 16-day window. The surf is flat, tiny, or completely non-existent for the whole stretch. We're talking a solid blank period from now until the 16th of September at least. The only tiny pulses of swell we see are under 1ft with periods of just 4 to 7 seconds, which is basically bath water movement, not surfable waves. The combined swell energy barely cracks a whisper, with the highest reading being just 27 (weak energy) on Friday the 11th, which is still deemed "poor surf conditions."
What is notable here is the water temp. When we look at the first bit of data, on Tuesday morning September 1st, the water is sitting at a toasty 80°F, which is a massive 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a very unusual anomaly, but with no swell to enjoy it, it's a bit of a waste.
There is a tiny, and I mean *tiny*, glimmer on Friday the 11th of September afternoon, where we see a 3ft swell from the East with a period of 5 seconds. But it's accompanied by a cross-onshore wind and rated as poor. That's not a surf session, that's a frustration session. For the rest of the time, the wind is often offshore or glassy, but with zero swell, clean conditions don't matter.
Honestly, there are no highlights here. No standouts. It's a total bust. For a spot like Cap 3000 that rarely breaks, this kind of extended flat spell is more normal for the area. Don't hold your breath, just wait for the next forecast run.
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.
