The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Gotta level with ya—this outlook is a slow burn, with not much to get the heart pumpin’ for a while. We’re talkin’ Mini Capo, a reef break built for advanced surfers only, and it’s an inconsistent spot that rarely lines up. This forecast is mostly flat with a couple of late standouts.
Right now, from Sunday the 2nd through the whole first week, it’s near flat. You’re lookin’ at waves around 1 foot or less, with weak energy (as low as 5). Winds are light and often offshore or glassy in the mornings, which is a tease. Water temp is average for the season.
On Saturday morning the 8th, we get a pulse: waves around 4 feet from the NW with a 7-second period and moderate energy (110). Glassy wind early makes it look clean, but the waves are just ordinary.
Then we hit another flat spell from the 9th to the 14th. Lots of clean mornings, but no swell to ride.
Saturday the 15th afternoon is the first real highlight: 6 feet from the NW, 8-second period, and energy at 470. Winds are clean cross-off. That’s a proper wave for experienced surfers.
Sunday the 16th keeps the run goin’: 6 feet in the morning with glassy conditions and 355 energy. Still clean.
But Monday the 17th morning is the big one: 12 feet from the NW, 9-second period, and combined energy at 1756. Winds are glassy. That’s excellent, heavy surf for experts only—too big for beginners. It’s a long way off, so keep it on the radar but don’t bank on it yet.
Mini Capo is a reef, so with that longer-period groundswell, it should shape up real nice. Just remember, it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks—so if it fires, you’ll wanna be first in the water.
There’s a big gap of flat to poor surf from now until the 8th, then another pause until the 15th. The best two windows are Saturday the 15th afternoon and Monday the 17th morning. The rest is a waiting game.
Stay patient, and watch that Monday pulse.
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.
