The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about what’s coming up, feet and degrees.
Right now, we’ve got a quiet start. The first few days are flat as a pancake with tiny, weak, unridable bumps. The water’s running at about 81°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year—nice to swim in, but you won’t need your board just yet.
Things finally kick off on Thursday, September 10th at Mini Capo. Thursday morning brings a clean 6ft NW swell with light offshore wind from the NNW. The combined energy is 448 (moderate), and it’s looking like a pretty decent session. That afternoon, the swell bumps up to 7ft NW, but a cross-offshore wind kicks in. It’s getting a bit chunky for beginners, but still good for the experienced.
The real gem early on is Friday, September 11th. That morning is prime: glassy conditions, a clean 5ft NW swell, light winds, and moderate energy at 284. The waves will have that smooth, lined-up look. That’s the session to aim for.
After that, the week gets small and messy again. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are weak and not worth the paddle. Sunday afternoon sees some clean cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is just too small.
Then we hit a proper flat spell—from late Sunday the 13th all the way through to Friday the 18th. No surf to speak of, just tiny bumps.
But the long-range forecast is where it gets wild. On the afternoon of Friday the 18th, Mini Capo starts to stir with an 8ft NW groundswell, 9-second period, and strong energy at 916. Winds are clean and cross-offshore. That’s a sign of what’s coming.
Then Monday, September 21st, brings a proper beast. The morning shows an 12ft NW swell with light winds—expert territory, with energy at 1285 (strong). The afternoon is the massive one: a 18ft NW swell, 11-second period, very strong energy at 7676, and clean cross-offshore wind. That’s an all-time session for the big-wave crowd only. Tuesday the 22nd keeps the energy going with clean 10ft and 8ft swells all day.
Best bets: Friday the 11th for clean, fun waves, and the big window around Monday the 21st for those looking to test themselves. Patience is the name of the game this time around.
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.
