The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty again with the same outlook but in imperial numbers for those who think in feet and miles per hour. It’s a slow start at Mini Capo – this reef break is fickle, and from Saturday 18th through Thursday 23rd July we’re looking at near‑flat conditions, combined energies all below 100. Nothing to get excited about.
Friday 24th July morning finally wakes up: a clean 6 ft NW swell, 8‑second period, energy of 481. Wind is light cross‑off from the NE at 9 mph, so the surface holds up. Mini Capo is an advanced spot – rocky, inconsistent – so this is for experienced surfers only. The afternoon sees the swell drop and wind pick up, so hit the morning session.
Now for the real action. Monday 27th July morning delivers a solid 8 ft WNW swell, 7‑second period, energy 480. Wind is light offshore from the north at about 6 mph, keeping it clean. That’s a proper pulse, getting into the overhead range. The afternoon pumps up to 13 ft with 10‑second period and a massive energy of 2737 – that’s serious power, but with moderate cross‑off wind and questionable tide, only absolute experts should consider it.
The absolute standout is Tuesday 28th July morning. We’ve got a 7 ft NW swell, 8‑second period, and energy of 778. The wind is near calm – light offshore from the NNE at 3 mph – making it glassy. For a reef break that rarely lines up this perfectly, this is the session. Crowds are possible but with the break’s inconsistency and advanced nature, you’ll likely have plenty of room. Mark it.
Wednesday 29th morning sees a drop to 3 ft, glassy but with only 98 energy – surfable but nothing special. Thursday 30th fades further, and the weekend turns flat again. Sunday 2nd August morning shows a return of 5 ft NW swell, energy 221, with light cross‑off wind – a decent last chance.
So there you have it: a long quiet period followed by a short, sharp window of quality. If you can, get out there Tuesday morning – that’s the gem. Stay safe.

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.
