The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is a tricky stretch for Mini Capo. We’re looking at a long, flat spell ahead, so you might want to find another way to get your salt fix for a while.
The next 16 days are brutally slow. We’ve got a gap right at the start, and then a long run of tiny, weak waves that just aren't going to do anything for you. The swell energy is super weak throughout, mostly single digits and low double digits, with plenty of days showing zero energy (0). It's not looking like a timeout for the surfboard.
The first real chance of anything rideable comes on Thursday the 17th. It’s not much, a little knee-high pulse from the NW, 1.3ft and a period around 7 seconds. The morning looks glassy, which is a massive plus, and that light NNW wind is a good sign for tidying things up. But it’s a weak wave and only for the most desperate. The energy is still in the low range (12). After that, the pattern continues: tiny and weak. Friday the 18th has a little more size, 2.6ft from the NW on the morning, but again the period is short at 7 seconds. It’s still pretty weak (54 energy) and about as good as it gets.
Honestly, the only window that could be worth a paddle is on the morning of Friday the 18th. It’s still small, but it’s the biggest of the run and the light offshore wind should keep it clean. This is not a day for a beginner; it's just a poor, weak surf. For everyone else, it’s a desperate measure.
After that, it just fades away again. The following week is a wasteland, with almost nothing showing. There’s a small blip on the 24th (0.3ft) which is a joke. For most of the second week, there’s no surf on offer. It’s a blank run, which is normal for this spot, but that doesn’t make it any easier to take. While there are a few days with light winds and clean conditions, there’s just no ocean energy to work with. The swell direction and winds don't align for anything. This is a time to wax the sticks, fix the dings, and wait it out. Forecasts can change, as they always do, but as it stands, it's going to be tough.
Keep the faith.

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.
