Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's shaping up over the next couple of weeks at Mini Capo.
Overall, it's a pretty quiet outlook. We've got a small window of surf right at the start, but after that, things really go flat for a long, long stretch. There’s a big gap coming with hardly anything rideable, so don't get your hopes up for consistent waves.
Friday, July 3rd is the only day worth paddling out. The morning is your best bet, with a clean 5ft swell out of the NW. Combined wave energy is moderate at 268, and with a light 6 mph cross-offshore breeze from the NE, the surface should be looking pretty good. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year at 80°F, which is a solid 7°F above average – a real treat. The afternoon sees the size bump up to 6ft, but the wind swings around to a fresh 19 mph from the NW, making it a choppy mess. That morning session is the standout.
Saturday, July 4th still has some energy from the NW, dropping to 4ft, but the period is short at just 8 seconds. The morning is glassy, which is a major positive, and you could get a few knee-high waves if you’re desperate.
From Sunday, July 5th all the way through to Saturday, July 18th, it’s a flat spell. The swell drops off completely – we're talking combined energy values in the single digits or zeros. There are a few morning glasses and clean conditions, but with next to no swell height, there's nothing to ride. Mini Capo is an inconsistent reef that needs a decent SW groundswell to fire, and without it, the ocean just sits there. For nearly two weeks, you're better off finding something else to do.
So to keep it short, your only real chance is Friday morning, July 3rd. It won't be epic, but it'll be clean and surfable. After that, the longboard can stay in the car.
Stay stoked,
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.
