Right, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on the cards for Caspar Creek over the next couple weeks.
Honestly, it's going to be a rough patch. From Monday the 6th all the way through to the morning of Friday the 17th, this spot is basically a no-show. The wind has got it pinned with a constant cross-onshore breeze from the northwest, just chopping everything to bits. There's swell, sure, but it's a total mess. The water's sitting at a cold 54°, which is a bit cooler than you'd expect this time of year.
Now, things get weird and interesting on the morning of Friday the 17th. We've got a tiny 3ft NW swell, but here's the twist – the period jumps up to 17 seconds. That's serious groundswell energy, with the combined energy reading a strong 1136. The wind is a light breeze from the NW, so that cross-on is light and manageable. It's a marginal call, but for a sheltered spot like this, that long-period energy might wrap in and give up a few clean ones.
The best opportunity looks to be the morning of Sunday the 19th. We've got a 5ft NW swell with an 8-second period, combined energy at a solid 764. The wind is a gentle breeze from the NW, light enough that the cross-on chop shouldn't ruin it completely. It's not gonna be glassy, but it's the most likely window for a session. Expect crowds, 'cause this spot does get them.
So, keep your eyes peeled for that long-period pulse around the 17th, and pencil in the morning of the 19th as your best bet. Everything else is a write-off.

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