The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cooking for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty grim stretch for Mini Capo. We’re looking at a long, barren run of tiny, weak waves. The energy is just not there. The first 16 days are basically a write-off. There's a solid gap of nothing worth paddling for from now, all the way through until around the morning of Sunday, July 20th. That’s nearly a week of flat or near-flat conditions.
The first real hint of something surfable shows up on the morning of Sunday, July 20th. We get a pulse of north-west swell, around 3 ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is still pretty weak. The wind is a light NNW, so it’s cross-offshore and clean. It’s not big, but it’s the first wave that might actually hold your weight. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
The best of the lot, and I mean the *only* standout in this whole 16-day window, is the morning of Monday, July 21st. The swell nudges up to 3 ft out of the north-west, with a 6-second period. The combined energy climbs to 79, which is still moderate but it’s the highest we’ll see. The real winner here is the wind – it’s glassy, dead calm. The surf will be clean, with a light S breeze keeping it smooth. For a spot that’s inconsistent and exposed, this is a rare moment of quality. The swell direction (NW) is a decent match for the optimum SW direction.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The swell drops off again, and the wind turns messy. We get a few more scraps of less than 1 ft swell later in the month, but it’s onshore or cross-shore with no energy. Honestly, for the next week and a half after the 21st, you’re better off leaving the board at home.
In summary: if you’re desperate, the morning of Monday, July 21st is your only real shot. Get out there early, enjoy the glass, and don’t expect much else.
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.
