The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer.
Honestly, the outlook for Mini Capo is a real heartbreaker. We are staring down a solid sixteen-day window, but for the most part, it's flat and sad. The water is unusually warm, sitting at 82°F on the Saturday morning we do see a pulse—that's over five degrees warmer than what's normal for this time of year, which is definitely something you'll notice.
The first real chance of a wave doesn't show up until Thursday, September 10th. That morning, we get a new swell hitting at 5 ft from the NW, with an 8-second period. It’s not the longest period, but the combined energy of 257 (moderate energy) suggests it has a bit of grunt. The wind will be blowing offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, which is great news for keeping things clean. This is the standout moment, and the clean conditions will make it worth the wait. The afternoon gets bigger, pushing 7 ft with energy jumping to 623 (strong energy), but the wind swings cross-offshore, and the commentary hints at questionable tide conditions, so it might not be as perfect.
Then on Friday, September 11th, the morning holds at 7 ft from the NW, with the same 8-second period and a solid 494 combined energy. The wind is a light offshore from the NE at 6 mph, so the surface will be good. That morning is your second best bet. But this spot is exposed and inconsistent, so you really have to time it right.
After that Friday afternoon, the energy drops off a cliff. We are looking at a major gap from Sunday, September 13th onwards, with nothing but scraps or flat days all the way through to the end of the period on September 20th. The swell that does show is weak, with poor wind direction or just not enough energy to bother with. It's a long, flat run.
So, to sum it up: don't bother until Thursday the 10th. The windows on Thursday morning and Friday morning are your only real shots. Given the inconsistent nature of Mini Capo, this kind of blank run is, unfortunately, more normal for the area.
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.
