The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles. Let's break down the next 16 days for Mini Capo. To be straight with you, it's looking pretty flat and frustrating for the most part.
The first sign of any life isn't until the morning of Sunday, August 30th. It's a tiny little NW swell, barely pushing 3ft, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 98, so it's got no punch. The wind is clean, cross-off from the NE, so it'll look glassy, but the waves will be ordinary. You might snag a few, but it's not a session to get excited about.
The one day that stands out, and the only one I'd really be watching, is the morning of Saturday, September 5th. We get a bit more size here, a 4ft NW swell with a 7-second period. The combined energy bumps up to a moderate 118. The real story is the wind—it's glassy, dead calm from the ENE. For a reef that prefers SW swell, this NW windswell is a bit off, but that kind of clean, smooth surface is a gift. Keep in mind, this spot is inconsistent, so you'll be waiting for the sets, but it'll be worth it when they come. The water is much warmer than usual at 28°, so you'll be comfortable in a spring suit.
After that, it fades again. The afternoon of the 4th of September does see a bigger 7ft swell, but it's being blown out by a strong 28 mph cross-off wind. The combined energy is a strong 489, but the conditions are poor. That's a day for the kiteboarders, not for us.
The rest of the 16 days is filled with tiny, weak swells and clean but empty lineups. There are big gaps of nothing. For a break that's known to be inconsistent, this kind of run is just part of the deal. It's a dry spell, but your best bet is that glassy morning on the 5th of September.
Rusty, out.

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.
