Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mini Capo over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me tell you straight up – it’s been a flat, quiet stretch around here for a while. We’ve got Mini Capo on the radar, but honestly, we’re looking at a real sparse run of waves for a good chunk of the next two weeks.
Mini Capo is a tricky little reef setup, exposed to the SW, but it’s rated as an inconsistent spot, so these dry spells are kinda normal for it. The water is sitting at a warm 77°, a touch warmer than usual for the start of July.
Right now, we’re in a frustrating gap. From the start, through all of Wednesday and Thursday (the 8th and 9th), it’s basically flat with tiny, short-period dribbles and onshore or cross-winds – poor conditions, nothing to bother with. That flat spell carries on through Friday morning (the 10th) and the whole weekend. Saturday the 11th? Nothing. Sunday the 12th? We get a brief tease of glassy 1ft, but it’s next to no swell energy (only 11), not worth paddling out for.
Then Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th? Still barely a ripple. Combined energy readings are in the single digits, just tiny windswells with no power. That empty feeling drags into Wednesday the 15th and most of Thursday the 16th.
The first real flicker of life shows up on Friday morning the 17th. It’s only 0.7ft, short period, but glassy – a clean, flat morning. Nothing doing.
We finally see some proper size on the chart for Monday morning the 20th of July. A 3ft swell from the NW, period 7 seconds, with the combined energy climbing to a moderate 78. Problem is, it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Then Tuesday the 21st morning looks cleaner with an offshore breeze, but the swell is the same, 3ft, energy at 71 – it’s just not that exciting.
Here’s the one window that stands out. On Wednesday the 22nd of July, morning, we get a bit of a pulse: 4ft from the NW, period 7 seconds, with clean cross-off winds and combined energy hitting 112 – moderate, proper wave energy. It’s really the best on offer. Thursday the 23rd morning also has 4ft NW with a glassy offshore, energy at 107, and the rating finally creeps past “poor” into just surfable but very ordinary. For Mini Capo, that’s the standout. The afternoon swings back into strong cross-off winds, so windows are short.
Overall, it’s a real quiet run. If you’re desperate, the Wednesday 22nd morning looks the most promising, but keep expectations low. Conditions can flip, and we might see something better, but for 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.
