The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, from the beach. Let’s talk about the next two weeks at Mini Capo.

For the first week, it’s a real snoozer. The swell is tiny, like ankle-high if you’re lucky, and the water is warm – about 80°F, which is a good 5° warmer than usual, so that’s pretty wild. But the waves? Nothin’. We’ve got some glassy mornings and light offshore breezes, but it’s all flat or near-flat, with swell under 2ft. There’s a long stretch of quiet from now until about July 23rd. Just a whole lot of nothin’ to ride.

On Friday, July 24th, things start to stir. The swell comes up to about 5ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds, and a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is moderate (274). It’s still a bit messy, though. By the afternoon, it’s jumpin’ to 7ft from the NW, and the energy gets strong (580), but the wind is howlin’ at 18 mph, so it’s a bit of a handful.

The real standout is the morning of Monday, July 27th. That’s the day. We’ve got a solid 8ft of NW swell, a period of 9 seconds, and a clean offshore wind from the north at 12 mph. The energy is huge (1057), and it’s promising excellent conditions for experienced surfers. This is a proper, powerful NW groundswell, so it’s gonna have some muscle. Mini Capo is a reef break, so it handles that kind of energy well, but it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waitin’ for the sets. The water is still warmer than usual, and the wind makes it clean. This is the one to aim for if you’re an advanced surfer.

The afternoon of the 27th still has size (7ft, WNW), but the wind swings and picks up, so it’s not as clean.

After that, the swell drops right off. July 28th has some knee-high leftovers, and then it’s flat again, with a lot of glassy mornings and small, clean, empty conditions that won’t hold a wave. The last few days of July and into August are flat.

So, bottom line: a long wait, then one solid Monday for the experts. The rest is just lookin’ at the water.

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.
