The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Mini Capo is a bit of a heartbreaker. For the next week and a half, it’s mostly flat and weak. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing much, with only a brief pulse of size that might get the blood pumping for the experienced crew.
The water is running about 82°F at the start, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
We kick off Wednesday, September 2nd, with tiny, weak 2ft swell from the NW at a short 6-second period. The wind is light and cross-off, but the wave energy is basically nothing at 19. It’s a clean, glassy morning on Thursday the 3rd, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft. This run of tiny, poor quality surf continues day after day. The combined energy stays weak, mostly below 45, and the swell direction is from the NW, which isn't even the optimum SW direction for this spot. It’s basically not worth paddling out until the second week.
Now, Thursday the 10th of September is the one and only real standout. The morning sees a building 5ft NW swell, period bumping up to 8 seconds, and the energy jumps to 308. It’s still a bit crossed-off from the NNW wind, but the afternoon gets even better – 7ft from the NW with moderate wave energy at 523. The wind is cross-off from the NW. This is legit. However, at over 8ft, those afternoon waves are strictly for experts only. This is a reef break and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets, but the quality should be there. It's the only decent window in the whole 16-day run.
After that pulse, things drop right back off. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th have strong winds ripping – up to 28 mph – making a mess of the small leftover swell. By the time we get to Monday the 14th, it’s back to tiny 2ft slop.
So, the bottom line: Don’t bother with the first week. The one shot you have is Thursday the 10th of September. Get on it if you’re good enough, because the rest of the forecast is a write-off. For those two days, the cross-off wind will keep Mini Capo clean, making the most of that punchy NW groundswell.
Stay keen.
Rusty.

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.
