The Lowdown
Alright, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – right now, it’s flat. We’re looking at a real dry spell to kick things off. From July 31st right through the first week of August, there’s barely a whisper of swell. The water’s sitting at a balmy 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only exciting thing. Pour a coffee, wax a board you don’t need to ride, because the ocean is taking a nap.
The first real sign of life, and I mean the first faint pulse, shows up on the morning of Monday, August 10th. Mini Capo (reef) is our only spot to look at, and it’s a tricky one. It’s inconsistent and only for advanced surfers, so don’t be a hero if you’re not one. We get a weak NW swell around 4ft, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is only moderate at 122, so it’s not got much punch. The morning is the only real window, with a glassy surface and light ENE winds. The afternoon gets blown out by a 12 mph cross-offshore.
Tuesday, August 11th morning offers a similar story – a 3ft NW swell, glassy, clean. The energy drops back to weak at 98. It’s surfable, but you’ll be working for every bump. That afternoon, the wind picks up to 19 mph from the NW, which will turn it into a mess.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. From August 12th onwards, we’re looking at tiny, weak leftovers and then more flat spells. There’s nothing here that gets me excited. The only real standout, if you can call it that, is the Monday morning of the 10th. It’s your best bet, but only if you’re an experienced surfer who doesn’t mind scratching for knee-high dribblers.

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.
