Alright mates, Rusty here.
We’re looking at Mini Capo, and to be honest, the first week and a half is a dead loss. From today, July 12th, right through to July 20th, there’s just no surf. It’s a flat spell for an inconsistent reef that hardly ever breaks anyway. You'd be wasting your time.
Then on Tuesday July 21st, it finally turns on. The swell jumps up from the northwest, starting around 4ft in the morning and hitting 8ft by the afternoon, with a strong combined energy reading of 789. That’s a lot of power, but the period is short at 8 seconds, and the cross-shore wind on the afternoon will chop it up a bit. The next morning, Wednesday July 22nd, is your best window. You get an offshore north wind at 16 mph, a clean 6ft swell from the WNW, and moderate energy (469). The water is sitting at 79°F, which is much warmer than average for July – almost 5° warmer than usual, so that’s a treat.
Later that week, Friday July 24th morning is glassy with a 5ft northwest swell and clean faces, making for a lovely session. After that, the swell fades again.
Mini Capo rarely works, so this is a short, punchy chance to get waves. Just know that when the swell gets over 5ft, it’s only for experts, and crowds are possible. Best bet is the 22nd and the 24th mornings.
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.
