The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at Mini Capo.
Right now and for a while, it’s flat as a tack. There’s barely a ripple for the first week and a half. The water is running at about 82°F, which is much warmer than what you’d normally get this time of year.
We get a few glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 25th of August and Friday the 28th, but with swell under 2ft and almost no energy, there’s nothing to ride. It stays that way until the start of September. A tiny bump shows up on Wednesday the 2nd of September with a 4ft NW swell, but the wind is messy and the conditions are ordinary.
The real standout – the one to save your energy for – is Saturday the 5th of September. The morning brings a clean 10ft NW swell, glassy conditions, and a ton of energy. That’s expert territory. By the afternoon, it jumps to 16ft NW with a long 12-second period, and the energy is massive. That’s a proper groundswell – powerful and clean with that cross-off breeze. It’ll be heavy, with long waits between sets.
Sunday the 6th of September is another big day with a 15ft NW swell, gentle offshore winds, and clean conditions in the morning. Heavy, expert-level surf.
Monday the 7th of September stays solid with another 16ft NW pulse and 11-second period, but the wind picks up. Still good for the experienced crew.
After that, it drops fast. Tuesday the 8th of September is back to around 5ft and a lot less energy – surfable, but nothing special.
Bottom line: if you can handle serious waves, clear your calendar for Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of September at Mini Capo. That’s where the juice is. Everything before that is a waiting game.
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.
