The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the Sardinian swell window for Capo Mannu Point. Let's get straight into it.
We're looking at a pretty flat and quiet stretch ahead for the most part, I'm not gonna lie. The first week or so is a bit of a write-off, with hardly any energy showing up. The water's sitting at a very warm 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's something if you're just having a swim.
Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are total duds with tiny, weak swell. Tuesday the 15th isn't any better. Wednesday the 16th is just as poor. We're basically looking at a long gap with no real surf to speak of.
Thursday the 17th of September is where things start to get a little interesting, but it's nothing to get too excited about. The morning session looks to be the pick of a very ordinary bunch. We've got a small pulse of swell from the WNW at 3ft with an 8-second period. The combined wave energy is weak at (101), but the wind is glassy, dead calm. That means it'll be clean, but the waves will be tiny and weak. By the afternoon the wind swings NW at 12 mph and the swell jumps to 6ft, with moderate energy (459), but that NW wind is cross-off, so the waves could be a bit bumpy and blown out.
Friday the 18th might be the best of a bad lot. The morning has a clean 4ft NW swell (179 energy) with a gentle offshore breeze from the north. It'll be rideable, but it's not going to be epic. The afternoon sees the swell drop and the wind pick up again, so the window is narrow.
After that, it's back to the same story. Small, weak swells through the weekend and into the next week. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th are tiny. Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd are even worse. Wednesday the 23rd morning has another glassy moment with a 4ft NW swell (164 energy), but it's a weekday and the surf will be weak and ordinary.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Thursday the 17th. It's the only time we see glassy conditions with any swell at all. The other half-decent window is the Friday morning the 18th with clean offshore wind. For a spot that's fairly consistent, this is a quiet spell. Sometimes you get lucky and the forecasts change, but for now, this is what we're working with.
That's it from me. Keep an eye on the charts, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.

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.
