The Lowdown

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer over the next sixteen days. It’s a pretty quiet start, but there’s a little window that pops up for those who are keen.

The first bit of action worth paddling out for is on Monday, July 27th at Mini Capo (reef). It’s not going to be a classic, but there’s a pulse of swell. We’re looking at a 6 ft swell from the NW with a short period of 8 seconds, so it’s a bit fat and crumbly, not the best shape. The wind is a cross-off from the NW at 15 mph, which will keep the surface a bit lumpy. The combined energy is moderate at 365. The water is sitting at 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a little bonus. This spot is inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting around for the sets. Crowds are possible here.

Tuesday, July 28th morning cleans up a bit. The swell drops to 4 ft from the NW, still a short 7-second period, but the wind switches to a light offshore from the NNE at 6 mph. That should clean the face up a bit, making it a more pleasant paddle. The energy drops to 109. It’s still only surfable, nothing to write home about.

The rest of the week and into the start of August is a real ghost town. From Wednesday, July 29th right through to Sunday, August 2nd, there’s effectively zero surf. The charts show nothing but tiny waves or flat spells with glassy mornings but no power. This is a long gap of about 5 days with no real recommendations.

We get a tiny flicker of life on Wednesday, August 5th morning. The swell is a weak 2 ft from the NW with a 7-second period, and it’s glassy with no wind. The energy is only 29. Still, it’s barely surfable. Thursday, August 6th morning is the best of a bad bunch. The swell lifts to 4 ft from the NW, again a 7-second period, and it’s glassy calm with the wind off the NE at 0 mph. The energy jumps to 140, which is moderate. This is the cleanest window of the whole forecast. The waves will be small and weak, but with no wind, it’ll be a peaceful session. After that, it fades back into tiny, weak waves and flat spells for the rest of the period.

To be honest, the only standout is that Thursday, August 6th morning session. It’s not big, it’s not powerful, but it’s the only time the conditions line up with a little bit of swell and glassy, offshore wind. For a break that’s inconsistent, it’s a rare chance to get a few clean ones. The rest of the time, you’re better off checking the long-range models again.

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.
