The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s in store for Mini Capo. This is a tricky little reef break, exposed to the south-west swell, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ve got to be patient. The water’s sitting at 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath out there.
The next week and a half is pretty grim, to be honest. We’ve got a long dry spell with no real surf on offer from now right through to the morning of Monday the 27th of July. There’s a small bump of 1.0ft from the north-west on Friday morning the 24th, but it’s only a 4-second period and the combined energy is a weak 3 – barely a ripple. The wind is glassy, but the surf is just too poor to bother.
Things finally look like they might kick off on Monday the 27th of July. Monday morning is the standout. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the north-west with an 8-second period, and the wind is light and offshore from the north-northwest. That’ll make for some clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy is a moderate 214, so there’s a bit of push behind it. This is an advanced spot and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect a crowd, but when it fires, it’s worth it. Monday afternoon jumps up to 6ft from the north-west, but the wind swings to a cross-off shore and bumps up to 19 mph, making it a bit of a handful. The energy jumps to 508, which is strong, but that’s expert territory.
Tuesday the 28th of July has a morning glass-off with 4ft from the west-northwest, 7-second period, and 187 energy. It’s surfable, but the wave comment says it’s ordinary – not the best shape. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean, but it’s not a barnstormer.
After that, things drop away again. We’ve got a few tiny pulses, but nothing worth getting excited about until the 6th of August. Thursday the 6th of August morning sees a 3ft north-west swell with a 7-second period and 115 energy. The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the comment says it’s very ordinary. That’s about it for the second week – a few small, clean waves but nothing with any real punch.
The best call of the whole 16 days is Monday the 27th of July morning. It’s not a massive swell, but the offshore wind and the moderate energy should make for some fun, clean waves at this reef. Just remember it’s a rare break, so you’ve got to be in the right place at the right time.

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.
