Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mini Capo over the next 16 days.
Hey guys, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the table for Mini Capo.
It’s gonna be a quiet stretch for a good while. We’re looking at about a week and a half of flat or near-flat conditions. Tiny, weak leftovers that aren’t worth the walk. The first real hope doesn’t show up until Monday the 20th of July.
When that Monday morning finally rolls around, that’s where we need to be. The water temp is sitting at about 79°, which is a couple ticks warmer than you’d usually get right now – feels nice.
Monday the 20th is your only real standout. A new NW groundswell pushes through, hitting around 6 ft with a period of 7 seconds. It’s got some weight to it. But the big win is the wind: it’s glassy that morning. Dead flat, clean. On a reef like this, that’s pure magic. The energy reading is a solid 263, so there’s some good push to the sets. Keep your eyes open though – this spot is inconsistent and takes a specific swell to light up, plus you’ll likely be sharing the takeoff zone with a few others. Monday afternoon sees a slight drop to 5 ft as a moderate NW wind comes in, making it cross-off and a bit less clean.
The rest of the fortnight? Nothing to write home about. Tuesday the 21st has a quick pulse of 3 ft in the morning with clean offshore winds, so a grovel session might be on, but that’s it. After that it’s back to flatness.
Here’s the deal: Point your truck towards Mini Capo on Monday the 20th of July, first light. Glassy conditions and a solid groundswell are your best bet for the next two weeks. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
