The Lowdown
Right, let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are pretty grim for a paddle at Mini Capo. Honestly, looking at the whole run, it’s mostly flat with just a few tiny, weak pulses that don’t really add up to anything worth getting excited about. You’ll be staring at a whole lot of nothin’ for days on end.
The first real chance to even consider it doesn’t roll in until Thursday the 10th of September. Wednesday morning the 10th of September will see a bit of a bump from the NW, around 5ft, with a clean offshore breeze. But the period is short (7 seconds) so it’ll be a bit fat and disorganised. The wave energy is moderate (223). That Thursday afternoon the 11th of September might have a bigger swell – 6ft from the WNW – but with a fresh cross-off wind, it’s gonna be blown out, so a no-go.
Friday the 11th of September morning cleans up a bit with a light offshore again and a 4ft NW groundswell, but it’s still got that short period, weak energy (127), and just a so-so vibe. It’s surfable, but you wouldn’t tell your mates about it. After that, it drops right off back to nothing, with just odd little scraps of knee-high slop on the 13th of September that barely register.
The consistent factor here is that Mini Capo rarely breaks as it is, and when it does, it’s mostly too small or blown out. This is one of those runs where a blank spell is more normal than not for the area. If you’re desperate, that Thursday the 10th at dawn might be the only flash in the pan, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
