The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s size it up.
We’re looking at a slow start with nothing to ride until the 18th of August, so you’ve got a solid three days of waiting.
The first real window hits Monday morning, the 18th, at Capo Mannu Point. Expect a NW swell running about 6.9ft with an 8-second period. The combined wave energy is strong (464), so there’s some push. The morning starts off glassy with an E breeze at just 3 mph, making for clean conditions. This is an advanced setup, and 6.9ft is in the expert-only zone. By the afternoon, the swell drops to 5.6ft and the wind turns cross-shore from the W at 12 mph.
Nothing else is worth mentioning until Monday the 24th. That morning is the one to get excited about. You’ve got a 6.6ft NW groundswell (504 combined energy) and a light offshore NNW breeze at 6 mph. The water is much warmer than average at 83.1°, so it’ll be a pleasure to be out there. This spot is consistent, but fair warning: crowds are common. It’s solid, clean, and for experienced surfers only.
After that, it’s a slow fade. Tuesday the 25th is already blown out with 18 mph NW winds, and the rest of the outlook is tiny or flat. That Monday morning is your best shot – don’t sleep on it.

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.
