Alright, mate. Rusty here.
Let's have a good look at the next couple of weeks for Mini-Cap (Mini Capo). I gotta be straight with you – it's a lean stretch. For a spot that's classed as advanced and inconsistent, we're looking at a whole lot of flatness and only tiny, weak pulses of swell. The energy's barely registering, mostly under 20 (combined swell energy), and what does roll in comes from the WNW or WSW with short, choppy periods. Honestly, there isn't a single standout session in the whole 16-day window.
The first ten days are almost a write-off. From Tuesday the 7th right through to the end of the week, we've got nothing but poor surf conditions. Tiny waves under 2ft with period of 4 to 5 seconds don't count for much. Winds are all over the place – cross-onshore, cross-off, all messing up what little shape there is. Friday afternoon the 10th sees a clean, cross-off breeze, but with a 1ft swell and a combined energy of just 4, it's barely a ripple. Saturday the 11th has zero surf. Sunday the 12th offers a glassy morning with a tiny 1ft swell from the WSW with a slightly better 8-second period, but the energy is still only 11. It’s not worth paddling out for the effort. The following week (starting Monday 14th) suffers a four-day flat spell, with no swell recorded at all through Thursday the 17th.
We finally see a pulse on Monday the 20th of July. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the NW with a 7-second period and a combined energy of 199. That's the most energy we've seen all forecast, but with a cross-shore breeze and that short period, it’s going to be too straight and messy to be any good. Not a recommendation – just the biggest bump in a flatline.
For a break that's inconsistent and on an exposed reef, this kind of blank run isn't a total shock. But with those scores of zero across the board, there's nothing to get excited about. I’d keep the board in the car and the wax in the wrapper. Forecasts can change, but right now, this one's a snoozer.
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.
