The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with the lowdown.
This 16-day stretch for Mini Capo is pretty grim to start. We’ve got a big gap of nothing at the beginning, so don't rush down there.
The one and only real shot comes on Thursday, September 10th. A NW swell shows up, bringing 5ft waves on the morning with an 8-second period. The wind is howling out of the north at 12 mph, giving us a clean offshore breeze, which is a major win. The combined energy is sitting at 262, which is a decent kick. The water temp is a super warm 83°, running about 7° warmer than normal, which is very unusual for this time of year. By the afternoon the swell jumps to 6ft, but with a stronger 16 mph cross-offshore wind, it’ll be a bit more of a handful, best left for the experienced crew.
After that, Friday the 11th gives us a smaller 4ft swell with a light offshore in the morning, but nothing special. From the 12th of September right through to the 24th, it’s a total bust – flat, tiny, and messy. There are a couple of glassy mornings, but without any swell to ride, they’re useless.
So, the standout is Thursday morning the 10th at Mini Capo. It’s inconsistent, so be ready to wait, but with 5ft waves and clean offshore wind, it’s the only window worth paddling out for. The rest is a write-off.
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.
