The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Capo Mannu Point over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a real snoozer. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, tiny, or just plain messy conditions. From Friday the 17th right through to Wednesday the 23rd, it’s a whole lot of nothin’. Swell heights are lucky to hit 2 ft, and when they do, the period is short and weak. The combined wave energy is pathetic, barely reaching double digits. You’d be better off taking the family to the beach or getting the wax off your board.
Now, the first real glimmer of hope shows up on Thursday morning, the 24th of July. We finally see a pulse of swell push through, with a clean 5 ft from the NW, and a period of 7 seconds. The wave energy jumps to a solid 277, which is a decent kick. The wind is cross-off from the NW at 12 mph, which should keep things tidy. This is a reef break, so that longer-period groundswell will wrap in nicely. It’s a bit punchy for the beginners, but for the advanced crew, this is the first legit session on the cards. Just keep in mind, this spot can get crowded sometimes, so get out there early.
The following week is a bit of a mixed bag. The surf remains small, but we get a few more windows of cleanish conditions. Monday the 27th of July has a morning pulse of 4 ft from the NW with an 8-second period (196 energy), but it’s got some cross-shore chop. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a 4 ft swell and a cross-off breeze, but it’s still very ordinary. The real standout of the whole second week might be Friday the 31st of July. The morning looks clean with 3 ft from the NW, but the afternoon bumps up to 4 ft with a clean cross-off wind. The energy is back up to 125, so it’s worth a look if you’re desperate.
Honestly, the best bet on offer is that Thursday the 24th. It’s the biggest, cleanest spike we get. After that, it’s a waiting game for a proper pulse. The water is a very unusual 81°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might be able to leave the steamer at home.
Hang in there, folks. The forecast can always change for the better.

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.
