The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown for Mini Capo.
The only real action this whole stretch is Monday morning, July 27th. That’s your shot. We’re looking at a clean 4ft swell out of the northwest, a light offshore breeze from the north-northwest keeping it glassy, and the energy is decent at 237. The water is warm, sitting at 81°, which is a full 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a hot tub. For an advanced reef that's inconsistent and can get a few people on it, this is your best bet. Score a couple waves before it gets crowded.
Monday afternoon the swell pushes up to 6ft, but the cross-offshore wind jumps to 25 km/h and the quality goes out the window. Tuesday morning is small and very ordinary, and after that, it’s a dead zone. We’re talking a long, flat gap with nothing worth a paddle until Monday morning, August 10th.
That Monday, the 10th, gives us a small 3ft north-west swell with a moderate offshore breeze from the north-northwest and a wave energy of 80. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. Nothing special. After that, it’s back to tiny, weak, and blown-out. The only other tiny blip is a 3ft NW swell on the 9th of August, but it’s got cross-shore wind and it’s not worth it.
Truth is, Monday morning, July 27th is your only real standout, and even that’s not epic. The rest is a flat spell that’s pretty normal for this area in summer. Forecasts can flip, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
