The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. Let’s get into it.
First up, it’s a pretty quiet start, real quiet. From now through the end of August, there’s just nothing going on. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the conditions are poor. You’re looking at a solid week of flatness with no real surf to speak of. Nothing to get excited about.
Then, we finally get a pulse of energy on the 4th of September. The morning shows a small but clean wave. We’re talking about 4ft of swell from the northwest, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined swell energy is pushing 159 (moderate), and the wind is glassy. That’s the standout for the whole period. This is a reef break, and it’s exposed to the southwest swell direction, which is a good match for what’s forecast. The water is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The wave is small but clean, and the conditions are good. The afternoon picks up a little more size, 6ft, but the wind shifts to a cross-offshore, and the energy jumps to 314 (strong). It’s still surfable, but the morning is the better bet. This spot is inconsistent, so when it decides to show up, it’s worth a look. Crowds are possible, but it’s not a circus.
The 5th of September is a bit of a letdown. The swell is still there, 5ft from the northwest, but the wind turns cross-onshore. The energy is still moderate (230), but the conditions get a bit bumpy. Not the best.
After that, it drops off again. The 6th of September sees a glassy morning, but the swell is tiny, only 2ft, and the energy is weak (39). It’s not worth the paddle. The rest of the week into the 11th is mostly flat or very small. The 11th of September morning does show a bit of a pulse with 6ft from the west-southwest, a period of 9 seconds, and a big energy reading of 539 (strong). The wind is offshore and clean, and the forecast is good. That’s a promising option, but it’s a long way out, so don’t lock it in just yet.
Overall, the best bet is the morning of the 4th of September. It’s not big, but it’s clean and glassy. If you’re after a bit more power, the 11th of September morning could be a gem, but it’s a wait-and-see. The rest of the window is pretty lean.
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.
