The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Mini Capo. The first few days of the forecast are quiet. We’ve got a gap of no real surf from Thursday 10th through to the middle of September. Thursday morning has a 1.7m NW swell, 8-second period, but the wind is cross-off and the energy is weak (373). It’s not worth the drive. That fades, and we’re flat from Saturday 14th to Wednesday 16th. Nothing happening.
Then Thursday 17th sees a pulse of 2.0m NW swell, 9-second period, energy 571, but the wind is cross-shore and the conditions are still marginal. It drops off again after that.
The real standout is Monday 21st September. The morning is looking epic. The swell is 5.0m from the NW, 10-second period, and the wind is glassy out of the NE at 3 mph. The energy reading is a massive 4250, which is strong. This is big, heavy, powerful wave energy. The forecast says excellent for experienced surfers, and that’s the truth. At over 2.5m, this is expert territory only. The reef will be going off. The crowd is “sometimes,” so expect a few heads, but not a total zoo. The glassy conditions are a huge plus, giving you perfect, clean lines.
Monday afternoon still has 5.5m NW swell, but the wind goes cross-shore, and the period is 11 seconds, so it’s very long-period groundswell. That kind of energy is best on a reef. The tide might be a factor.
Tuesday 22nd is still a good day, but it’s a drop. The morning has 2.5m NW swell, 10-second period, energy 1306, and light cross-off wind. It’s clean and still big, but it’s the tail end. The afternoon is 2.2m, still clean.
After that, it drops off to nothing by Wednesday 23rd and stays flat through the end of the period.
So, the one to circle is Monday 21st September at Mini Capo. That’s the call. Big, glassy, and only for the experts. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.

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.

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.
