The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s cut through the noise and talk about what’s actually rideable.
We’re looking at a real slow start. The first week is mostly flat and poor, with one solid window of opportunity. After that, it goes dead again for a long stretch. If you’re keen, you’ve got one morning to make it happen.
The only real event is on Monday morning, July 27th at Mini Capo. This is a reef break, so it’s exposed and handles swell, but it’s inconsistent and strictly for advanced surfers. The water is warm, about 82°F, which is 6°F warmer than usual – that’s a big anomaly.
That morning, we see a 7ft swell from the NW with a 8-second period, and the combined energy is 577 – that’s moderate energy but it’s got some push. The wind is light offshore from the NNW at 6 mph, so it’ll be glassy and clean. Expect very good conditions. This is your one standout. The swell is over 5ft, so it’s only for experienced surfers. The 8-second period means it’s not a long groundswell, so sets will be frequent.
Later that day, Monday afternoon, the swell jumps to 8ft from the NW with a 9-second period and 812 energy. But the wind swings to a cross-offshore breeze at 16 mph, making it choppier. Conditions are marginal, so the morning is your best bet.
Tuesday morning, July 28th, drops to 4ft NW swell, period down to 7 seconds, with 185 energy. The wind is glassy from the east at 3 mph, so it’s clean, but the waves are just ordinary. It’s fading fast.
From Wednesday, July 29th, all the way through to Friday, August 7th, it’s mostly flat. A tiny 3ft pulse shows up on Monday, August 3rd, but with cross-onshore wind and chop, it’s a no-go. That’s over a week of nothing.
So here’s the takeaway: Monday morning, July 27th, at Mini Capo is your only real shot. Get out there early before the wind ruins it. After that, the board stays on the rack.
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.
