Capo Mannu Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s lining up for us over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, this is a pretty quiet stretch. We’ve got a long gap with no real surf on offer from the start of September right through to the 10th. Don’t hold your breath for anything special, but don’t write it off completely either—forecasts can change.

The only real action is around Capo Mannu Point (Sardinia). It’s a reef setup that needs a good SW swell to fire, and it’s fairly consistent when it does. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

Wednesday 26th August – The best bet of the whole outlook. Expect a small 2 ft swell from the WSW with a short period of 6 seconds, so the combined energy is weak (26). The morning is light cross-shore, but the afternoon is the standout. A light WNW breeze goes cross-offshore, cleaning up the surf. The waves are small but rideable, and with that clean face, it’s the pick of the fortnight. The swell direction is right on the money for this spot.

Thursday 27th August – Tiny. 1 ft in the morning, then 0.7 ft in the afternoon. The afternoon has a cleaner look with a NW cross-off breeze, but it’s barely surfable. Not worth getting excited about.

Friday 28th August – Even smaller. 1 ft in the morning with a choppy SE wind, and 0.7 ft in the afternoon. The afternoon is clean but the swell is practically non-existent.

Saturday 29th August – Small 2 ft from the WSW. The morning has a light NW cross-off breeze, and the afternoon turns offshore from the north. Clean, but tiny. Combined energy is weak (21 and 26).

Sunday 30th August – The morning is the only other session worth mentioning. 2 ft from the NW with a 6-second period. Glassy conditions with a NNE breeze. Combined energy is weak (44). It’s clean and small, but not much power.

Monday 31st August – Nothing in the morning, then the afternoon has no swell.

From Tuesday 1st September through to Thursday 10th September – The surf simply isn’t there. There are a few small pulses of 3 ft from the NW around the 2nd and 3rd, but the energy is weak (75 and 73), and the wind is messy. After that, it’s a blank run. No swell, no surf. That’s a long stretch of flat water.

So, if you’re looking to get wet, Wednesday 26th August afternoon is your only real chance. After that, it’s a waiting game. Keep an eye on the charts, but don’t expect much.

Rusty.
