Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Mini Capo. It’s gonna be a real quiet spell, so don’t get your hopes up too high.
We’re looking at a solid stretch of flatness from Thursday the 9th of July all the way through to the 20th of July. Tiny waves, poor conditions, mostly cross-onshore breezes and short-period junk. The swell heights are barely a foot or two, with periods around 5 to 6 seconds, and combined swell energy is weak, mostly in the single digits to low 20s. Water temp is a touch warmer than normal for July at 77°F, nothing out of the ordinary.
The one highlight comes around Tuesday the 21st of July in the morning. A NW swell pushes in at 3ft with a period of 7 seconds. Light cross-shore breeze should keep it clean enough, and combined energy hits 107 (moderate). Mini Capo is a reef break, inconsistent and rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s worth a peek. For advanced surfers only. That NW swell isn’t the ideal direction for this spot (best with SW), but with the light wind, you might snag a couple. After that morning, it fades out fast.
So, the one real window is Tuesday the 21st of July morning. Otherwise, you’ve got a long, flat run, which is pretty normal for this area. Forecasts can change though.
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.
