Grab a coffee, ‘cause the surf report for Mini Capo is a tough one. It’s a reef break that’s inconsistent, and for a solid week and a half, there’s basically nothing. We’re looking at a long dry spell.
The first real glimmer comes way out on July 20th, Monday morning, when a small NW swell shows up around 3ft, with a 7-second period. The energy is weak (58), and a light cross-onshore ESE breeze will mess it up. That afternoon is the same story, just choppier. On July 21st, Tuesday morning, it bumps up a touch to 3ft from the NW, with a little more energy (105), but again, that wind keeps it from being clean. This is the best we get, and it’s not saying much.
Before that, from now until July 19th, it’s flat or near-flat. There’s a glassy morning on July 8th, but with only 0.7ft of swell, you’d be fighting for nothing. Another glassy morning on July 14th gives you 0.3ft. The wind goes clean offshore a few mornings from the 11th, but with zero swell, it’s pointless. It’s a long, quiet period.
So the only thing worth a look is that small NW pulse on the 20th and 21st of July. It’s tiny, it’s bumpy, and this is an inconsistent reef, so it’s for experienced surfers only. At 3ft, it’s not dangerous, but beginners should stay out. Water temp is about normal for the season.
That’s the long and short of it. A flat spell with one very average bump at the very end. Forecasts can change quick, but right now, it’s a board-off kind of week.

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