The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here, running the numbers for the local stretch.
First up, it’s flat. Dead flat. We’re looking at a long, dry run of nothing from Sunday, August 30th all the way through to the end of the first week of September. The wait’s gonna feel like an eternity. But don’t lose hope—there’s a little something brewing way out there for the second week.
The only real show in town is Mini Capo. It’s a reef setup, exposed to the swell, and it’s an advanced wave. It’s inconsistent, so when it does come, you gotta be ready. The water temperature is sitting at 82°F, which is a whopping 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s very unusual, so the water’s gonna feel like a bath.
Now, the real chance of a wave comes in on Sunday, September 6th. That morning, the swell jumps to 5 ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 284 (moderate). It’s a bit of a weird one though—the wind is light and cross-onshore in the morning, which will keep it choppy. But the afternoon is where it’s at. The wind switches to a gentle cross-offshore breeze, the swell drops a touch to 5 ft, and the energy is still strong at 248. It’ll be clean. That’s your best window. The swell direction (NW) is a solid match for the optimum SW direction, but it’s close enough to work.
After that, Monday the 7th sees a drop back to 2 ft, and then it’s mostly flat again until Saturday the 12th brings a little 3 ft pulse with some clean offshore winds in the morning, but the energy is still weak (83). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
So, the standout is Sunday afternoon, September 6th at Mini Capo. It’s the only real quality window in the whole 16-day run. Get in the water.

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.
