The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for Mini Capo. We're looking at a real quiet stretch, so let's break it down.
The first bit of any real interest hits us on the morning of Monday, the 27th of July. We've got a 4ft NW swell pushing in, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is light and offshore from the north, so the surface should be clean. The combined energy is moderate at 232. It's not a classic, but it's the best we're going to see for a while. The water is feeling much warmer than usual for this time of year, coming in at a balmy 82°F, which is a solid 6°F above the norm.
That Monday afternoon we see the swell bump up to 6ft from the NW, but the wind swings cross-offshore from the NW at 12 mph, making it a bit ragged. The energy is stronger at 356, but the conditions are only marginal.
Then we hit a major dry spell. From Tuesday the 28th all the way through to the 6th of August, it's almost completely flat. We're talking about a solid 10-day gap where you'd be better off waxing your board and staring at it. There are a few tiny blips of 1.0ft and 0.7ft, but nothing worth paddling out for.
Things finally start to look up again on Friday the 7th of August. That morning we get a 4ft NW swell (period 7 seconds) with glassy conditions. The energy is a decent 156. It's surfable, but the conditions are described as "very ordinary." The following morning, Saturday the 8th, is probably the best of the whole run. We get a 4ft NW swell, and the wind is dead calm, completely glassy. That's your window. The energy is moderate at 109. It's a small, clean day for a longboard or a funboard.
That's the pick of the bunch. The swell fades out again after that.
So, to sum it up: the standout is the morning of Saturday the 8th of August for the glassy conditions on a small, clean swell. If you're desperate, Monday the 27th of July is your only other option. It's a long, quiet run, but sometimes that's how it goes.
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.
