The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty grim run ahead. The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for doesn't show up until the 19th of August. Before that, we’re looking at a long, flat spell. From the 6th right through to the 18th, the swell is tiny or non-existent – a lot of zeros in the energy department. There are a few knee-high ripples here and there, but nothing that’ll get the heart racing. It’s one of those stretches where you’d be better off finding something else to do.
The only faint glimmer comes on Wednesday the 19th, late. Mini Capo (a reef break that’s advanced and inconsistent, exposed to the SW) should see a little bump of NW swell around 3 ft, but it’s coming from the wrong direction with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 75, so it’s barely got any punch. The wind will be a cross-off from the WNW at 9 mph, which will keep the surface tidy enough, but the wave quality is described as "surfable but very ordinary". Honestly, for a spot this tricky and inconsistent, it’s not really worth the effort. It might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you're into that.
The water temp at Mini Capo is a very unusual 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a solid 5° above average. Something to note if you do happen to get wet, but the surf itself is a bust.
After the 19th, it drops right back off again. So, the outlook is bleak. There are no standouts here. I’d keep an eye on the charts, but this one looks like a write-off.

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.
