The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at what’s on the cards for Mini Capo over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a lean stretch. There’s a real dry spell for most of the period, with hardly any rideable swell until the end of the first week.
The first solid pulse of size arrives on Monday, July 27th, and it’s a big one. The morning kicks off with a 8ft NW swell, period around 8 seconds, and the combined energy is beefy at 831 (moderate to strong). The wind is a clean cross-off from the NW at 19 mph, so the surface will be tidy. This is an exposed, inconsistent reef break that only works for advanced surfers, and with the swell pumping, it’s gonna be a proper handful. By the afternoon, it jumps to 10ft NW groundswell, period 9 seconds, and the energy rockets to 1250 (strong). That’s serious power — way too big for anyone but experts. Crowds are “sometimes” here, so you might have a few others in the water, but the size will thin them out. Water temp is sitting at 82°F, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year — that’s really unusual, so the water’s gonna feel like a warm bath.
Tuesday, July 28th still holds some punch. Morning swell drops to 6ft NW, period still 8 secs, energy at 391 (moderate). The wind swings to a light ESE cross at 6 mph, so just a few ripples on the surface. The afternoon fades a touch with 7ft NW, period 8 secs, energy 649 (moderate to strong) but the cross-shore wind picks up to 9 mph from the west, adding a bit of chop.
After that, the window closes. From Wednesday, July 29th right through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday, August 5th, it’s all small dribble — waves below 4ft, periods short, energy weak, and most days score zero for surf quality. There’s a full week of flat to tiny conditions, with a few glassy mornings but no real swell to ride.
So, the real standout is Monday, July 27th, with that big, clean NW swell. It’s the only true window of quality surf in the whole 16 days, and it’s a solid one for the experienced crew. Just know it’s gonna be heavy, and the crowd might show up.
Stay safe out there, 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.
