The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking.
It’s been flat and quiet for Mini Capo, and it’ll stay that way for a stretch. The first real surfable wave doesn’t pop up until Tuesday July 21st, so there’s a long gap of nothing worth paddling for. The water’s 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a hot tub.
The one and only standout is the morning of Tuesday July 21st. Mini Capo gets a 4ft NW swell with a 6-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 113. The wind is dead calm, glassy – the surface will be smooth as silk. It’s small but clean, and that’s your best shot in the whole 16 days.
The rest of the period is tiny, weak, or completely flat. You get a few glassy mornings on the 18th, 19th, and 20th, but there’s no swell – just nothing. The morning of July 24th has a 3ft NW swell with 97 energy and cross-offshore wind, but it’s still only just surfable. Nothing to get excited about.
So, if you’re keen, aim for Tuesday July 21st morning. That’s the only window where it all comes together. The rest is a bust, but don’t sweat it – forecasts can change, and the dry spell won’t last forever.
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.
