The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at Mini Capo in feet and fahrenheit.
The water is a balmy 83°, which is about 5° above normal for this time of year – that’s seriously warm, you’ll be in a shorty or just boardies.
Don’t get your hopes up for the first week. From Friday the 21st all the way through to the morning of Tuesday the 2nd of September, it’s a long dry spell. Tiny, weak, and mostly poor conditions. There’s a clean little 3ft swell from the WSW on the 22nd, but it’s short period and low energy. Nothing to get excited about. That’s about 10 days of waiting.
The first real standout is the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. Swell jumps to 5ft from the NW, with a 7-second period and moderate wave energy (226). The wind is offshore and clean, so Mini Capo will be looking sharp. The afternoon gets bigger at 6ft from the same direction, with energy rising to 350, but the wind goes cross-off. It’s still clean, but that’s expert territory now.
Then we get the best window of the whole run on the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September. 6ft of NW groundswell, 8-second period, and a big energy reading of 447. The wind is light offshore from the NNE. It’s going to be clean, well-shaped, and powerful. The afternoon holds at 6ft and 327 energy. This is the one to pencil in. Mini Capo is a reef, it’s inconsistent, and crowds can happen, but when it’s on, it’s a proper session. For the advanced surfer, this is it.
So, two mornings to circle: 29th August and 2nd September. The rest of the forecast is a whole lot of nothing. This is Rusty, out.

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.
