Alright, let me level with you about Mini Capo. This is a tricky one, because the next two weeks are looking like a bit of a letdown. The water here is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the most exciting thing for a while.
Right now and for the next week, it’s dead flat. We’re talking tiny scraps, the kind where the combined energy is well under 100 (often in the single digits). There’s no point paddling out. You’ll see some glassy mornings, like on the morning of Friday the 10th, but there’s just no push behind it. Even the afternoons that clean up, like Sunday the 12th with a cross-offshore breeze, are only offering 1 ft of weak mush. We are looking at a solid gap of over a week with absolutely nothing worth your time.
Then, finally, something stirs. Tuesday the 21st afternoon is when things start to change. A fresh NW swell fills in at about 6 ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The real standout is Wednesday the 22nd. The morning will see a clean 6 ft of NW swell (combined energy hitting 413), with a light offshore breeze. That afternoon, it bumps up to 7 ft from the NW, with even more energy (526), and cross-offshore winds. This is the only real window on offer.
Now, this is a shallow reef that breaks inconsistently and is only for advanced surfers. With those NW swells and a period of 8 seconds, the shape should be punchy. But because the swell comes from the optimum direction, and the winds are clean, this is your one chance. These long-range calls for the 21st and 22nd look promising, but keep an eye on it. For a few hours that Wednesday, Mini Capo will have some classic, hollow wedges.

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.
