Alright, let’s break it down for those who think in feet and degrees Fahrenheit. This is a bleak outlook for the next couple of weeks, with only one spot to talk about: Mini Capo. It’s an inconsistent reef break that only suits the advanced crew, and the ocean is mostly asleep.
The only real chance to get wet is Saturday morning, July 4th. Mini Capo sees a 4ft swell from the NW, with a short 8-second period. The combined wave energy is moderate at 129, so there’s something to push against. Water temp is 80°F, a massive 6°F warmer than usual, so it’s bathwater. The wind is dead calm, glassy—perfect conditions for a clean surface. It’s surfable, but nothing special, and crowds are possible, so get out there early.
From Saturday afternoon onward, it’s downhill. By Sunday, the swell drops to 3ft with cross-onshore wind, and by Monday, we’re down to a tiny 1ft with a 5-second period—almost nothing. The combined energy numbers fall to single digits, so the ocean is flat. Tuesday morning has glassy conditions but only a 1ft swell that has no power.
We hit a dead flat spell starting Wednesday afternoon, July 8th, and it stays flat or near-flat through the end of the 16-day run. There’s a few days with zero wave energy, and then a weak 0.3ft pulse shows up around Sunday, July 12th, but with poor direction. Offshore winds pop up on a couple of mornings in the second week, like Wednesday, July 15th, with a clean 1ft from the WNW, but there’s simply no swell to ride.
So, bottom line: Saturday morning, July 4th, is your only real window for a paddle. After that, it’s a long stretch of nothing. For the advanced surfer, Mini Capo can be a gem, but with those tiny waves, this setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period. The immediate weekend is the best on offer, but don’t expect much.

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.
