The Lowdown
Imperial Units
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the next 16 days at Mini Capo. It’s a quiet start, so don’t rush.
We kick off with nothing on Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th. The combined energy is zero both days. The first sign of life shows up Thursday morning the 10th.
Thursday the 10th morning brings a NW swell around 5ft with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy hits 306. It's moderate juice. The wind is a strong offshore from the north at 15 mph, so the faces will be clean. The water temp is a very unusual 82°, which is a solid 6° warmer than normal for this time of year. That warmth is something else. The waves are short-period, so don't expect much push. The afternoon pushes to 6ft with 498 energy and a milder cross-off wind, so the surface stays reasonable.
Friday the 11th is blown out with a strong cross-shore. Not worth it.
Your best shot is Sunday morning the 13th. After a messy Saturday, Sunday morning goes glassy with a light 3 mph breeze from the east-northeast. The swell is a clean 5ft from the NW, but it's still a short 7 seconds, giving us 231 combined energy. That glassy wind will turn the ocean into a sheet of glass. This is the standout. It’s an advanced reef break that is inconsistent, so when it works, it's special. Expect a few others out since crowds are sometimes an issue.
After Sunday morning, the swell drops hard. Sunday afternoon falls to 3ft, and the energy plummets to 70. From Monday the 14th right through the rest of the window, it’s mostly flat or tiny. A small 5ft pulse appears on Monday the 21st, but the conditions are only ordinary.
So, one window, one morning. Sunday the 13th is your day. Get it while you can.
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.
