The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk the same stretch in feet, because I know some of you think that way.
This is a rough 16-day look for Mini Capo (Mini-Cap). We’re looking at a big gap of no real waves starting around September 5th, going flat for several days after that. What little swell we get is weak and short-period.
The water is much warmer than usual, sitting at 82°F, with a 4°F positive anomaly.
Let’s run through it. Wednesday, August 26th, we start with a tiny 2ft swell from the WSW, but a cross-shore wind messes the morning. The afternoon cleans up with a cross-off breeze, but it’s still only 2ft.
Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are even worse—dropping to 0.7ft. Friday afternoon goes glassy, but with a 0.7ft swell, you’re barely getting a ripple. Saturday the 29th lifts to about 2ft with a morning offshore from the north, so it’s clean, but the wave energy is weak (22).
Sunday the 30th is the same: 2ft to 2ft, clean, but weak. Monday the 31st is tiny, then Tuesday September 1st gives us our best chance: a glassy morning with a 3ft NW swell, energy at 59. It’ll be pretty, but still small.
Wednesday September 2nd has a morning offshore but drops to 2ft. Then Thursday September 3rd brings the biggest swell of the run at 4ft from the NW, with moderate energy (102). But the morning has a cross-shore wind, so it’s bumpy.
After that, it’s a slow fade to nothing. From Friday September 4th, it’s 2ft, then 0.3ft, then flat from September 5th through the 10th. We get glassy mornings, but no waves.
If I had to pick one, it’s that glassy Tuesday morning September 1st with the 3ft NW swell. But honestly, there’s no real standout here.

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.
