The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ straight at the charts for Mini Capo. Let’s be real: the next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag, and you’ll have to be patient.
Right now, we’re comin’ off a proper flat spell. The water’s cookin’ at 82°, which is a full 6° above normal – that’s way warmer than usual for this time of year, a real anomaly.
The first real pulse of energy shows up Sunday, July 26th. That afternoon, a 8ft NW swell rolls in, with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is solid, with a reading of 1080, and it’s clean with a cross-offshore wind from the NW. But here’s the thing: it’s a reef break and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waitin’ for the sets. The quality is still just *marginal*, so it’s not a total green light.
Monday, July 27th is the standout, but it’s for experienced surfers only. The morning swell holds at 8ft from the NW, and the energy is still pumping at 787. By the afternoon, it jumps to a solid 10ft with 1594 energy units. That’s a big, powerful swell. The wind is clean off the NW, so it’ll be lined up. But at 10ft, it’s a big, expert-only wave. The reef will be handling that power, and the inconsistent nature means the sets will be heavy. This is the one to watch if you’ve got the skill and the nerve.
Tuesday, July 28th drops to a 5ft NW swell, with moderate energy around 221. The morning has a cross-shore wind, which isn’t glassy, so it’s a bit of a miss. The afternoon cleans up, but the swell is already fading.
After that, we’re back into a long, flat, and poor run. The rest of the month and into the first week of August shows nothing but tiny, short-period swell and mostly clean but empty conditions. There’s a glimmer on August 2nd with a tiny 2ft S swell, but at 6 seconds and just 24 energy, it’s not worth paddling out for.
So, to sum it up: the only real window is Sunday, July 26th through Tuesday, July 28th. The best wave on offer is Monday, July 27th afternoon, with that big 10ft NW swell and clean winds at Mini Capo. Just remember, it’s big, it’s inconsistent, and it’s a reef. If you’re not an expert, sit this one out.
Rusty.

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.
