The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks at Mini Capo.

Honestly, the start of this outlook is a real tough one. We're looking at a dry spell that stretches all the way from now, right through to the morning of Thursday the 17th of September. That's a proper stretch of flatness or junk conditions. You won't find a single decent wave in that whole block.

Then, finally, on the morning of Thursday the 17th of September, things perk up a little. We get a 1 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. It’s small, but it’s clean and surfable, so you could get a few micro-sessions in. The combined wave energy is weak (101), but it’s the best we’ve seen by a long shot.

The real standout, by far, is the afternoon of Thursday the 17th of September. We see the swell pick up to 4.3 ft from the NW with an 8-second period, and the wind switches to a cross-offshore breeze, cleaning the place right up. The combined energy kicks up to a moderate 211. The forecast is for good surf conditions. This is the pick of the entire forecast period. Get out there if you can.

Friday the 18th of September and Saturday the 19th of September keep small waves coming, around 2.6 ft to 3 ft from the NW, but the winds become less consistent and the energy drops off fast. After Saturday afternoon, we're right back into the doldrums. There are very long gaps with no surf of any note until the very end of the forecast period.

Looking way ahead, around Wednesday the 30th of September, there’s a little pulse of 2 ft to 2.3 ft from the WSW with a short 6-second period, but the energy is weak (24-39) and the winds remain cross-shore, so it won’t offer much. For now, keep your eyes on the 17th of September.

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.
