The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what we've got for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it's looking pretty flat for a long stretch. The first week and a half is a real dud, with almost nothing to ride. We're talking tiny, weak swells, mostly under 2 ft, with short periods and barely any energy. The combined energy is often in the single digits (1-15). It's a tough watch.
The first little pulse of something that might be worth a look pops up around July 24th. On the morning of Friday, July 24th, we get a 3 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 102 – that's moderate, at least. The wind is offshore from the NNW at 19 mph, so it'll be clean. Still, it's a short-period swell, so don't expect much power. The afternoon is similar, with a 4 ft NW swell, but still short period.
There's no real standout in this whole 16-day window. The surf stays small and inconsistent. The best of a bad bunch is likely that morning of July 24th at Mini Capo (reef, advanced, inconsistent, crowds possible). The swell is only 3 ft from the WNW, but with a clean offshore wind, it'll be the most rideable option. The water is a warm 80°F, which is a very unusual 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year.
After that, it's back to flatness. The 22nd of July has a tiny 2 ft NW swell that goes glassy in the morning, but it's barely a bump. The 26th of July has a similar 2 ft NW swell, but with a light cross-onshore wind, so it'll be a bit choppy. Nothing to get excited about.
This is just one of those quiet periods for the area. It's a normal stretch of flatness, so don't lose hope. Forecasts can shift, but for now, the ocean is taking a nap.
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.

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.
