The Lowdown
Alright, mates, let’s look at Mini Capo. This reef is a tricky one, inconsistent, and exposed to the southwest. The water’s about average for the time of year.
Right now, it’s flat. A big gap from Wednesday the 9th through the end of the week. Nothing at all.
On Thursday morning the 10th, we get a sniff of action. A moderate offshore wind from the north at 16 mph will clean it up, with a 5 ft north-west swell, but the period is only 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 277. It’s short and steep, but it’s something. The afternoon gets cross-off, the swell hits 6 ft, but the quality drops.
Friday the 11th is the pick. The morning is the best of the lot. Clean, clear, a light cross-off breeze from the north-northwest at 6 mph, and a 5 ft north-west swell. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s a bit lumpy, but the energy is moderate at 200 and the conditions are clean. That’s your window. The afternoon gets windier.
After that, it’s a slow decline. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are ordinary. Then a long, flat run from Monday the 14th right through to the end of the period. A tiny bump on Tuesday the 22nd with a 3 ft north-west swell, but it’s weak and ordinary.
Get on Friday morning the 11th. That’s your shot.
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.
