The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next 16 days at Mini Capo. I’ll be straight with you – this is gonna be a long, slow grind. The first real surf worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Thursday, the 10th of September, and even then, it’s a tricky one. Before that, we’re looking at a solid week-plus of flat, clean conditions but nothing to ride. From Friday the 31st of August right through to Wednesday the 9th of September, the ocean is just taking a nap. Small windswells and tiny ripples, mostly under 2 feet, with no energy. It’s glassy in the mornings a few times, but honestly, you’re better off taking the dog for a walk.
Now, the standout – and I mean *the* only real chance to get a proper wave – is Thursday, the 10th of September. The morning is where it’s at. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell rolling in from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a moderate amount of energy (1137) and it’s going to push through. The wind is light from the east, so it’s a cross-shore breeze, but light enough that it won’t mess it up too bad. This is a reef break, so that long period and direction should work well here. But listen – 8ft is expert territory. If you’re not comfortable in overhead, heavy reef waves, sit this one out. The afternoon sees the swell drop to 8ft, wind picks up and gets a bit cross, so the morning is the window.
The next little bump comes on Monday the 14th of September, with a 5ft swell from the WNW, period 6 seconds. That’s a moderate energy (269), but the wind is light cross-shore. It’s not a standout – it’s a bit of a mess, honestly. The period is short, it’s not gonna be clean and lined up. For a more experienced surfer, it might be worth a look if you’re desperate, but I wouldn’t plan your day around it.
Water temp at the start of the period is 82°, with a massive anomaly of 5° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year. Feels more like a tropical bath than surf season. Crowds at Mini Capo are *sometimes* an issue, but with this kind of forecast, I’d bet you’ll have it mostly to yourself.
So, bottom line: mark your calendar for Thursday the 10th of September morning. That’s your one shot. The rest is a waiting game. Keep your eyes peeled, forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a lean run.
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.
