The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.
Look, the next week or so is pretty flat. We've got a stretch of no-surf days that runs from now all the way through to Wednesday the 9th of September. If you're a paddle surfer, don't even bother checking the beach – it's gonna be a blank run. For a spot like Mini Capo that's inconsistent anyway, this kind of flat spell isn't unusual.
But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. On Thursday the 10th of September, things finally wake up. We've got a new NW swell pushing in, around 5ft in the morning, bumping up to 7ft in the afternoon. The swell period is a short 8 seconds, so it's more of a wind swell, but the energy is there – we're talking moderate energy in the morning (381) and pushing into strong territory by the afternoon (567). The morning sees a light offshore wind from the NNW, so that'll groom it nicely. This is the standout window.
Now, a word of warning: that afternoon swell gets over 5ft, so it's not for beginners. For the experienced crew, it could be fun, but it's a reef break and it's inconsistent, so pick your waves. If you're an expert, the Thursday morning session looks the best bet – clean, offshore wind, and a decent 5ft swell from the NW. Later in the week, the wind swings onshore and the quality drops off, so don't sleep on that Thursday window.
After that, we go back into small, poor conditions all the way through to the end of the forecast. There's nothing else worth paddling out for.
So, to wrap it up: it's flat for days, then one good morning on Thursday the 10th for the experts at Mini Capo. That's your shot.
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.
