The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Mini Capo are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a massive dry spell on our hands. From the start of the period right through to the morning of the 11th of August, it’s flat. Not a wave worth paddling for. That’s over a week of nothing. The wind is light and glassy at times, but there’s simply no swell to work with. The water temp is sitting at 82°F, a full 5°F warmer than usual, which is a standout – it’s much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Now, things do finally start to stir on the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August. We get a sniff of life with a 3ft swell out of the NW, pushing a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 80, and the conditions are glassy, making it surfable but very ordinary. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent, so don’t get your hopes up.
The real standout, the only time worth circling on the calendar, is Wednesday the 12th of August. We finally see some proper size. The morning brings a clean 6ft NW swell with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 328. The wind is glassy – a major positive. By the afternoon, it pushes up to 7ft NW, with energy at 432, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the WNW. This is the best of the bunch. It’s a solid, clean swell with offshore winds, so the setup will be good. The break is exposed to the SW and the swell is from the NW, which is its optimum direction, so it should line up nicely. Be aware, though, that at 7ft, it’s getting into the expert-only zone. The crowd situation here is *sometimes* busy, so you might have some company, but it’s worth it.
Thursday the 13th of August holds on with a 6ft NW swell in the morning, energy at 340, and clean cross-off winds. The afternoon drops a touch to 6ft, but the wind picks up and the conditions become more marginal. The last day of any note is Friday the 14th, with a 4ft NW swell, but the energy is down to 134 and the wind is offshore in the morning, so it’s just surfable, nothing special.
So, to sum it up: a long, flat start, then one proper window on Wednesday the 12th of August that’s the clear standout. Make the call for that day if you’re an experienced surfer.

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.
