The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve got the skinny on Mini Capo. This is a reef break that takes a south-west swell, and it’s an advanced wave. It’s inconsistent here, so you need patience and a bit of luck.
Right now, the ocean is basically asleep. We’re looking at a long, dry spell. From Tuesday the 25th of August all the way through to the 4th of September, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny and the energy is almost non-existent, with numbers like 37 (weak) and 11 (weak) – just not enough to push a board. The water is a warm 82°F, which is 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a bit of a treat if you’re just floating.
The first real flicker of life shows up on Saturday the 5th of September. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the north-west, with a period of 7 seconds and a moderate energy of 106 (weak-moderate). But the wind is a cross-onshore from the ESE at 12 mph, chopping it up. Not great. Sunday the 6th is a write-off with strong winds.
Then, on Monday the 7th of September, we get a bit of a pulse. The swell hits 6 ft from the north-west, with a 9-second period and a solid 516 (strong) energy. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NW at 22 mph, which will keep it clean. This is the standout of the whole forecast – a proper reef break working with a long period groundswell. It’s not for beginners, and it’s still a marginal call, but for the advanced crew, that’s the one to circle. After that, it drops off again.
So, honestly, the only real window is Monday the 7th of September afternoon. The rest of the 16 days is a flat, quiet run. That’s just how it goes here sometimes.
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.
