The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this 16-day window for Mini Capo is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, weak, or just plain messy conditions. There’s a real dry spell from now until the 25th of July, with over a week of nothing worth paddling out for. The energy just isn’t there, and the swell windows are mostly closed. Don’t get your hopes up too early.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday the 25th of July, in the afternoon. That’s our standout. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the northwest, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 290, and with a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the northwest, it’s going to be clean. This is a reef break, so it handles that shorter-period swell alright, but don’t expect it to be a long-period groundswell. It’s an advanced spot, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll need to be patient. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no major surprises there.
The next morning, Sunday the 26th, is still surfable but a step down. You’ll get 4ft from the northwest again, but the wind is cross-offshore from the east-northeast, keeping it clean. The energy is a moderate 140, so it’s got some push, but it’s not the same quality as the day before. The afternoon turns a bit onshore, so get it while it’s good.
After that, it all fades back into small, weak, and onshore junk for the rest of the outlook. The 25th afternoon is your one true shot. Crowds are possible at this spot, so if you’re keen, be there early.
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.
