The Lowdown
Right... well, I’ve been staring at the charts for Mini Capo, and if I’m being straight with you, it’s mostly a waiting game. This is an exposed reef that loves a solid SW groundswell, but the next 16 days just don’t deliver that. The water temp is sitting right around average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
We’ve got a long flat spell kicking things off. From Friday the 24th of July right through Sunday the 26th, it’s flat. Not even a ripple worth paddling for. Then, on Monday morning the 27th of July, we finally get a pulse. A 5ft NW swell with a 8-second period rolls in, and with a clean northerly offshore breeze, it’s looking like the best window of the whole run. The combined energy jumps to a solid moderate 297, and the wind is light, so the reef should be clean and lined up. It’s an advanced break, so for the experienced crew, Monday morning is the one to point your car at. The afternoon though, it gets bumpy – the wind swings cross-offshore and the swell jumps to 7ft, which is getting into expert-only territory, and the quality drops off.
Tuesday the 28th of July has a smaller 4ft NW swell left over, but it’s very ordinary. The wind is okay, but it’s just not the same quality. After that, it’s a long, dry, dusty road. From Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through to Saturday the 8th of August, it’s a ghost town. Tiny dribbles of 1.0ft or less, with no energy, no real swell direction, and mostly flat conditions. There’s a 10-day gap of nothing worth getting wet for.
So, to be honest, the only real standout is that Monday morning session on the 27th. Get it while you can, because after that, it’s a long wait. Remember, this is an inconsistent spot, so a blank run like this isn’t a total shock. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s slim pickings.

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.
