Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mini Capo over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. I’ll put it in feet and degrees for you. Mini Capo is a reef that fires rarely, and this 16-day window is a desert. From Sunday 12 July right through to late July, it’s flat, flat, flat. The first tiny bump shows up Friday 17 July morning – a 1ft NW windswell with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of just 11 (weak). That’s not surfable.
The only day that might get you wet is Saturday 18 July morning. You’ve got a 3ft NW windswell, period of 7 seconds, and combined energy of 55 (weak). The wind is glassy – ENE at 0 mph – so the surface will be perfect. The reef is exposed and the optimum swell direction is SW, so this NW swell isn’t ideal, but with no wind, an advanced surfer might snag a few. The water is 79°, which is much warmer than normal – about 5° above average for this time of year. The spot is inconsistent and rarely breaks, so make the most of it.
After Saturday 18 July, it’s back to nothing. A few glassy mornings on 24 July and 25 July bring tiny 2ft to 1ft NW swells with 5-second periods – no real energy. The combined energy sits at 14 or 7. Not worth paddling out.
Best on offer is that Saturday 18 July morning window. It’s the only time with a bit of shape and glassy conditions. Crowds are possible, but nobody will be out. This kind of flat run is normal for the area, so don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can flip, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
