The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I've got a look at the 16-day picture for Mini Capo. Honestly, it's a pretty quiet stretch. There's a real long dry spell to start, and we're waiting a good while before anything worth paddling out for shows up.
The first recommendation we get isn't until August 2nd. Before that, it's a whole lot of nothing—flat, clean but tiny, or just messy conditions. You're looking at over two weeks of mostly knee-slappers and poor surf. The water temp right now is 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it'll be comfortable sitting out there waiting for a wave that never comes.
Finally, on Sunday morning August 2nd, we get a little life at Mini Capo. It's a reef break, exposed to a SW swell. The early session is looking like the clear standout of the whole period. We've got clean 4ft swell coming from the NW, and with calm, glassy conditions—zero wind—it's going to be as smooth as it gets. The combined wave energy is moderate at 120. It's not big, but it's the best we've seen in a long time. For a spot that's inconsistent, this is notable. The wind stays offshore in the afternoon from the WNW, but it picks up to 12 mph, so the morning is your window for truly clean lines. With the swell just over 3ft, it's fine for most intermediate surfers, but it's nothing heavy.
So, there you have it. A long, quiet wait, and then a single, promising morning on August 2nd. Set the alarm and be there for first light.

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.
