The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk about Capo Mannu Point in feet and miles per hour.

The first week is a real dog. From Sunday the 23rd right through to Saturday the 29th, it’s mostly flat or tiny scraps – waves under 2ft, with short, weak periods around 5 to 7 seconds, and combined energy barely hitting double digits. The wind is all over the place, too. There’s a glassy morning on the 28th, but it’s on a tiny 1ft swell, so not worth the paddle. That’s a solid seven days of nothing.

Sunday the 30th morning shows a little pulse – 3ft from the NW, period 7 seconds, energy up to 71, with a light cross-offshore breeze. It’s listed as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so a small step up but still not great.

Monday the 31st drops back to flat – 0.3ft – so another write-off.

Then things start to move. Tuesday the 1st of September morning has 2ft from the NW, but the afternoon is the first real sign: 4ft from the NW, period 6 seconds, energy 98, and a clean cross-off breeze. Wednesday the 2nd morning holds 3ft, and Thursday the 3rd morning is similar.

The standout is Friday the 4th of September morning. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the NW, period 7 seconds, energy jumping to 231 – that’s moderate wave energy – and a light offshore wind from the north. The guidance says this is a reef break, fairly consistent, and it loves swell from the SW. That 5ft NW swell with offshore wind is going to produce clean, punchy waves. It’s not huge, so fine for experienced surfers, and the short period means it won’t be too straight. This is easily the best session of the whole outlook. Friday afternoon gets a bit cross-off with stronger wind, but the morning window is the one.

Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th drop back to small stuff, and Monday the 7th is glassy but flat.

So, bottom line: the first week is a bust, then we get a slow build into early September, with Friday the 4th morning being the clear winner. Not a big swell, but the direction and wind line up for a proper session at Capo Mannu Point.

Information about the Capo Mannu Point Surf forecast

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