Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mini Capo over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's eyeball this forecast.
To be straight with you, it's a long, flat spell. The water's a warm 77°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least it's nice for a swim.
We're talking a whole week of nothing until Monday, July 20th, when a tiny 3ft swell from the NW finally shows up, but with a short 7-second period and only 54 units of energy. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it's not going to be clean.
The only real standout is a slim window on Tuesday morning, July 21st. Mini Capo will see a 4ft NW swell with a bit more punch (105 units of energy) and a clean, light cross-offshore wind from the NNW. But remember, this break is inconsistent and rarely breaks, so you're rolling the dice. It's a reef, so it handles a longer period swell better, but this is only a 7-second period, so don't expect the world.
After that Tuesday blip, it's back to a desert. Wednesday, July 22nd gives us a 2ft NW swell with clean offshore wind, but the energy is weak (40 units). Then it's flat or near-flat right through to Saturday, July 25th, which offers another 2ft NW swell with glassy conditions in the morning, but the energy is still low (76 units). The swell direction is never right for this spot.
If you're desperate, Tuesday morning, July 21st, is the only thing worth a look, and even then, it's a long shot. For the rest of it, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
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.
