Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the menu. It’s looking pretty lean for the next couple of weeks, with only a tiny flash of life right at the very end. You’ll need patience.
We’re talking about Mini Capo. The water is 78°, which is 4° warmer than normal for this time of year—pretty wild, you can surf in boardshorts if you’re tough.
The first week-plus is a total flat spell. From now all the way through to the morning of the 18th of July, there’s practically nothing. The combined swell energy barely gets above 67, with tiny northwest ripples that won’t push you anywhere. Doesn’t matter what the wind is doing—cross, offshore, whatever—because there’s zero surf. That’s a solid ten days of nothing.
Your only real chance comes on Saturday the 18th of July. The morning session is the clear standout. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the northwest with an 8-second period. Energy jumps to 264, which is the best we’ll see by a long shot. Best part? Glassy conditions. Zero wind. That’s going to give you clean, lined-up reef waves. It’s an advanced spot and inconsistent, so it won’t be every set, but with the swell angle favoring that southwest optimum, it should wrap in nicely. The afternoon gets a bit lumpy with a cross-shore breeze and the swell builds to 7ft, which is more grunt than you want on a reef like this—stick to the dawn patrol.
After that, it’s done. The 19th and 20th of July see the swell drop back under 5ft with clean but strong winds, and the energy falls off a cliff.
So, the call is simple: wait for Saturday the 18th of July. Get there first light for the glass and that small-to-mid NW swell. That’s your shot.

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.
