The Lowdown
Alright, let me look over Mini Capo for the next couple weeks. Gotta be honest, it’s mostly a whole lot of nothing to start.
We’re looking at Monday the 31st of August and it’s dead flat – 0.3ft from the west with a weak 5-second period and barely any energy. Cross-off breeze. That’s the theme for the first week and a half. There’s a few mornings with glassy conditions and tiny 2ft to 3ft NW slop, but it’s all short-period junk under 6 seconds and no push behind it. Water temp is 82° with a 3° anomaly – that’s way warmer than normal for the season, almost bath-like, and it tells you how stuck the pattern is.
We’ve got a dry spell from the 30th of August all the way until the morning of Thursday the 10th of September – about 11 days of nothing worth suiting up for. Then Thursday morning the 10th we finally see a bump: 4ft from the NW with a 7-second period and moderate energy, but it’s a cross-on wind and still rated poor. So that’s a pass too.
The only real highlight in the whole 16 days lands on Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th of September. Friday afternoon brings 8ft of NW swell at 8 seconds, with 736 units of energy – that’s strong, powerful stuff. Wind is light cross-off from the WNW, so it’ll be clean. Then Saturday morning the 12th is glassy with 8ft of NW swell at 8 seconds, energy hitting 868. That’s solid, clean, but at over 8ft it’s for experts only. Too big for beginners. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it might not have the best shape at this exposed reef, but for those who know Mini Capo, that’s your moment. Crowds are possible – it says “sometimes” – and this spot is inconsistent, so when it’s on, it draws a crowd.
After that, it fades fast. Sunday the 13th morning has 4ft at 7 seconds with glassy wind, but it’s ordinary and the energy drops. Then back to tiny stuff for the rest of the run.
So here’s the take: a long, quiet stretch until the 11th and 12th of September. That Saturday morning the 12th is your best bet – big, glassy, expert-only NW swell at Mini Capo. Everything else is a skunk.
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.
