The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at Mini Capo for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. This spot is a reef, and it’s inconsistent at the best of times, so we’re in for a real lean run. The water is sitting at 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
The first week is basically a write-off. From Sunday the 19th all the way through to Thursday the 24th, we’re looking at tiny, weak scraps. The combined energy barely cracks double digits (5 to 11), with swell heights hovering around 1ft to 1ft. Winds are often glassy or light, which is a tease because the waves just aren’t there. Friday morning the 24th is the first whisper of something rideable – a 4ft NW swell (77 combined energy) – but it’s an ordinary wave, and the wind is messy. That’s the best of the first week, and it’s not saying much.
We then hit another dry spell from Friday afternoon through to almost the end of the month. There’s a few mornings with glassy conditions, like Tuesday the 28th, but the swell is still tiny (1ft). It’s frustrating.
The real standout, if you can call it that, shows up on the morning of Friday the 31st of July. We’ve got a 3ft NW swell with glassy conditions – that’s a major positive for cleanliness. The combined energy is up to 92, and the period stretches to 7 seconds. It’s surfable, but still ordinary. The afternoon of that same day sees the biggest energy of the whole forecast: a 4ft NW swell with 127 combined energy and clean cross-offshore winds. That’s the best window we’ve got. It’s not pumping, but it’s the only time the numbers look half-decent for a wave.
After that, it fades back to nothing. Saturday the 1st of August and Sunday the 2nd are small and messy.
So, to sum it up: we’ve got a long, frustrating gap with almost no surf. The only real chance to get wet is on Friday the 31st of July, with the afternoon offering the best conditions. It’s not a day to call in sick for, but if you’re desperate, that’s your window.
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.
