The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a quiet run ahead at Mini Capo. For the next week and a half, there’s next to nothing happening. We’ve got a dry spell from the start right through to the morning of Wednesday 19 August, with no surf on offer at all. That’s over a week of flat conditions.
Water temp’s sitting at 83°, which is a solid 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so you’ll notice the bathwater warmth if you get in for a paddle, even if there’s no wave to ride.
Finally, from Wednesday 19 August morning, a tiny 0.3 ft swell from the NW creeps in, period just 4 seconds – weak and wobbly, combined energy at a measly (1). By Thursday 20 August morning, we see a slight lift to 1 ft from the WNW with a 5-second period, energy up to (9), but still poor quality. Winds are light and variable through these days, but there’s no real power behind the swell.
Friday 21 August morning offers similar 1 ft NW swell, 5-second period, energy (7), but still not enough to get excited about. Saturday 22 August afternoon brings a tiny 0.3 ft from the SW, 7-second period, energy (2) – still poor. Sunday 23 August morning is the standout in this otherwise bleak outlook: a 1.0 ft WSW swell with a 6-second period, energy (12), and clean offshore winds from the NNE. That’s your best bet in the whole 16-day window – small but surfable. Afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze, swell bumping to 1 ft and energy up to (18).
Beyond that, Monday 24 August through Tuesday 25 August stays small and marginal. Keep the board handy, but don’t get your hopes up for much more than a knee-high dribble.
This break is inconsistent at the best of times, and this run proves it. For paddle surfing, it’s a write-off for the most part. If you’re into kiting, the combo of light winds and tiny swell doesn’t offer much there either.
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.
