Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G'day, Rusty here, and we've got a pretty quiet outlook ahead at Mini Capo. It's not looking amazing, but there are a couple of windows if you're keen and not too fussy.
The forecast starts this week, and the only real shot of anything worthwhile is on Friday morning, the 3rd of July. We get a pulse of swell coming in from the northwest at 5ft, with a short period of 8 seconds – so it's not the most powerful stuff, but the combined swell energy is moderate at 268, so there's something to work with. The real win that morning is the light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 6 mph, which should keep the reef at Mini Capo relatively clean. It's an exposed spot, and the optimum swell direction is SW, so this NW swell isn't a perfect match, but for an inconsistent break like this, you take what you can get. Since it's an advanced, inconsistent reef, don't expect a circus of people, but crowds are possible sometimes. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild to report.
That Friday morning is the standout – not because it's epic, but because everything else drops off a cliff. By Friday afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the NW at 19 mph, and it's no good. Saturday morning the 4th is small with 4ft and glassy conditions from the east at 3 mph, but the energy drops to a weak 129 and it's pretty ordinary. After that, it's a long, slow fade. From Sunday the 5th through to the end of the forecast period on the 18th of July, we're looking at a stretch of flat or near-flat conditions. The swell height drops below 2ft, the combined energy readings are in the single or low double digits, and most days show no swell at all. There are long gaps of several days where there's nothing even worth paddling out for – just glassy mornings with no waves.
If you're a beginner, this isn't the week to learn – anything over 5ft would be too much, but we're not even reaching that. For experts, there's nothing challenging on offer either. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer if the wind picks up, but for us, it's a waiting game. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this flat for long, but for now, save your wax.
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.
