The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming up for Mini Capo.
Honestly, the next week is looking like a bust. Expect mostly knee-high mush with poor conditions and hardly any energy – combined energy readings are mostly in the single or low double digits, which is weak. Don’t bother getting wet unless you’re just stretching the legs.
The real action kicks in around Thursday the 28th of August, but the standout window is Sunday morning the 30th of August. That’s the one to circle. We’re looking at a solid 7ft NW groundswell with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is pumping at 623 (moderate energy). Winds will be glassy offshore from the NNE at 9 mph. That’s clean, lined-up surf on a reef that’s inconsistent but worth the wait. It’s an advanced spot, and crowds can show up, so plan for it. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
Saturday the 29th also has a decent morning session with 6ft NW swell and offshore wind, but energy is lower at 410, and it’s not as clean.
Into the first few days of September, there are more waist-to-chest high NW swells with clean offshore mornings. Nothing epic, but it’s rideable if you missed the big day.
Watch out on the 30th if you’re a beginner – anything over 5ft gets serious here.
Hang in there, forecasts can flip, and it usually doesn’t stay flat for long.
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.
