The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this stretch is lookin’ pretty grim. We’re talkin’ about Mini Capo, a reef setup that’s known for bein’ inconsistent and it’s gonna live up to that reputation over the next 16 days. The truth is, there’s not a single session in the whole window that’s worth paddling out for. The forecast is a flat spell with nothing but scraps.
From Thursday the 23rd of July right through to Friday the 7th of August, every single day is marked as poor surf conditions. The swell energy is pathetic – the highest we see is a combined energy of 156 (moderate) on the morning of Tuesday the 28th of July, but even then the swell is a weak 4ft from the NW with a short, gutless period of 7 seconds. That’s not enough to do anything with, especially with a cross-on wind ruining any chance of a clean face.
We get a few morning glass-offs, like on the 23rd of July with a 2ft NW swell and glassy conditions, but the period is only 6 seconds and the wave comment says “poor surf conditions.” It’s just too small and weak to bother. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no weirdness there, but it doesn’t matter when there’s no wave.
Honestly, for a spot that’s already inconsistent, a blank run like this is pretty normal. Don’t hold your breath. The only thing that might get interesting is if the wind cranks and the swell picks up, but as it stands, you’d be better off cleaning your board and waiting for the next proper system.
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.
