The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for our little slice of the coast.
We're looking at a pretty flat run ahead, I'm not gonna lie. The ocean is gonna take a long nap. We've got a solid stretch of tiny, unrideable surf coming up, so don't be in a rush to wax your board.
The only spot we've got any real info on is Mini Capo, and it's a bit of a tease. It's a reef setup, so it needs a proper swell to get goin', and it's known for being inconsistent. The water is feeling much warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin' at about 81°.
Tuesday morning the 28th is our best shot, and that's not sayin' much. We'll see a small NW swell around 4 ft, but it's a short-period, choppy wind swell (7 seconds) with a cross-offshore breeze. The energy is pretty weak, clockin' in at just 113. It's technically surfable, but it's gonna be ordinary and messy. It's a wave for the die-hards only.
After that, it's a ghost town. From Tuesday afternoon the 28th all the way through to Thursday morning the 6th of August, the surf is pretty much non-existent. There are a few tiny pulses here and there, but nothing that breaks the "poor surf conditions" barrier. You'd be better off finding a river to float in.
We finally get a bit of a pulse on Thursday morning the 6th of August. A light NW wind swell shows up, still tiny at 2 ft, but the wind is a clean offshore from the N. The energy is still weak at 41. It's clean, but it's a knee-high ripple at best for advanced surfers only.
The next glimmer is Saturday morning the 8th of August. We see a tiny 2 ft NW swell with glassy conditions and a 7-second period. The energy is very weak at 25. It's clean, but again, we're talkin' about a lake.
The most promising session, and I use that term loosely, is Sunday morning the 9th of August. A 3 ft NW swell with a clean offshore wind from the NNW. The energy is still weak at 46. It's a clean, small wave, but for a reef that needs a proper SW groundswell, this NW wind swell is just not the right direction.
Overall, this is a tough stretch. There's really no standout session here. The highlight is Tuesday morning the 28th, and that's a real stretch. After that, expect a solid week of flatness. For the rest of the 16 days, it's tiny, weak, and for the most part, not worth the paddle. This is a classic summer lull for this spot.
Rusty, out.

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.
