The Lowdown
Alright, let me break this down for you. Rusty here, and I'm looking at Mini Capo for the next couple of weeks. It's a reef setup, exposed to the swell, and it takes a south-west direction best. Honestly, the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We're looking at a pretty long dry spell from now until around the 9th of September. There's just nothing doing – tiny, weak swell and poor conditions.
The water's warm though, running at about 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Then, things finally start to look interesting. The standout window is Thursday, the 10th of September. We get a pulse of proper swell, with the morning showing clean, 6ft waves from the north-west, with moderate wave energy (403). The afternoon really gets going: the swell jumps to 7ft from the north-west, and the energy ramps right up (596). It's still offshore wind from the north-west keeping it clean. That's your pick of the whole outlook.
Now, the 7ft afternoon session on the 10th is a bit too much for beginners, but for anyone with some experience, it's going to be a good day. The period is around 8 seconds, so it's not a super long groundswell, which is fine for this reef.
After that, it gets messy again with onshore winds until the 14th of September. The morning of Monday the 14th has a very solid 12ft north-west groundswell, with massive energy (2383). That size is expert-only territory – huge and powerful. The afternoon session on the 14th is the biggest of the whole forecast: 15ft from the north-west, exceptional energy (5049), and a long period of 11 seconds. This is for experts only. The wind is light and clean, so if you're skilled enough, it could be a proper session.
The other days in the second week? A few small windows on the 13th with 5-5ft, but the wind isn't perfect, so it's just marginal.
So, to sum it up: wait out the first week and a half. The big day is the 10th of September, and if you're an expert, the 14th of September could be a wild ride.
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.
