The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this stretch is looking pretty quiet for Mini Capo. We’ve got a 16-day window ahead, but you’re gonna have to wait the best part of a week to see anything even worth paddling out for.
The first few days, from Tuesday the 4th through most of the week, are pretty much a write-off. Tiny, short-period windslop mostly under 1ft and a combined energy that barely registers. The water temp is a notable 82°F, which is 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a bath, but with no waves to enjoy it.
The first real flicker of life comes on Friday morning, August 7th. We get a pulse of 3ft NW swell, direction that matches the reef’s ideal SW window? Not quite, but it's a start. The energy is weak (92) but the wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. It’s just surfable, nothing to write home about.
Through the weekend and into the second week, it stays tiny. Lots of zero readings and days with no swell at all. Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th offer tiny, glassy 0.3ft to 1ft dribbles, but the energy is basically non-existent. The best-looking morning in the whole run is Wednesday morning, August 19th, when we see a clean 2ft WSW swell with glassy conditions and a calm wind. Energy is still low (8), but it's the cleanest and most lined-up the reef will look.
For a spot that’s rated for advanced surfers and known for being inconsistent, this is a long, flat spell. If you’ve got a kite, those afternoons with a solid 12-18 mph cross-off breeze and a bit of bump might be more interesting than a paddle session. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s no standout window.
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.
