The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Gonna level with you about Mini Capo. For the next ten-plus days, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. Right from now until about the 10th of August, the surf is effectively flat. That’s a long dry spell. Then, it looks like we finally get a pulse of life around the 11th, but it comes with a catch.
Your best bet, and really your only shot for anything worthwhile, is the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August. We've got a NW swell building to about 6ft. The combined energy of the swell is moderate at (278). The wind is light out of the NW, so it'll be glassy, clean, and well-shaped over the reef. Keep in mind Mini Capo is an inconsistent spot that takes a specific swell direction (SW is its optimum), so a NW swell can be tricky. On a 6ft wave, it’s strictly an advanced lineup.
By the afternoon of the 11th, that swell is going to be pumping at around 8ft with strong energy (1017), but the wind is howling from the NW at 15 mph, so it'll be ragged and blown out. That’s big, raw, borderline unsurfable chop for all but the craziest experts out there.
After that little spike, it’s back downhill fast. Wednesday morning you might find a few clean, 4ft leftovers in the morning if the offshore breeze holds. Then the tap shuts off again. It’s a long wait, a short window, and a tricky reef. The morning of the 11th is your only real hope, but don't expect it to be pumping perfection.
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.
