The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down what's coming for Mini Capo in feet and miles per hour.
The first week or so is a total dud. From Saturday the 1st right through to Sunday the 9th, there's nothing worth talking about. The water is a balmy 82°, which is way warmer than usual, so it's a lake out there. A big, long gap of flatness.
The first real sign of life arrives on Monday the 10th of August. The morning session has a clean 1.6m (about 5ft) NW groundswell with a light offshore breeze from the north. The combined energy is 314 (moderate), and it'll be clean. A decent start.
But the real standout is Monday afternoon. The swell jumps to 3.0m (about 10ft) from the NW, and the energy reading hits 1336 (strong). That's a serious amount of power. The wind stays clean and cross-off, so the wave faces will be holding shape. This is for experts only – 10ft at a reef like Mini Capo is no joke. It's an inconsistent spot, so you'll be waiting, but the payoff is a heavy, powerful wave. The period is 9 seconds, so it's a proper groundswell with some punch.
Tuesday the 11th morning is still clean with a 1.3m (4ft) WNW swell and a light offshore, but it's on the way down. The energy is 184 (moderate). It's okay, but nothing compared to the Monday afternoon bomb.
Things go quiet again until the 15th of August, when a 2.5m (8ft) NW swell shows up, but it's blown out by 30 km/h (18 mph) cross-off winds. Not great. Then Sunday the 16th morning offers a clean, glassy 2.4m (8ft) NW swell with 802 energy (strong). That's a solid option, but again, it's a big wave at a reef break.
So, if you're picking a session, Monday the 10th of August afternoon is the one. The biggest swell, the best wind, and the most power. Get on it if you've got the skills.
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.
