Amaralina Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got on the cards for Amaralina.

Right off the bat, this isn’t a classic run. There’s a lot of cross-shore wind and lumpy condition reports throughout the 16 days, but we do have a few windows where it cleans up. The water temp is sitting at 79° with an anomaly of 2°, so it’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.

The best bet of the whole outlook lands on Wednesday morning, 2nd September. Amaralina is picking up a 5ft swell from the east, with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of 299 (moderate). The wind is light from the north, offshore, and it’s described as clean and glassy. That’s your standout session—good shape, clean faces, and manageable size for the beginner-plus crew. Crowds are possible, so get there early.

Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th mornings aren’t terrible. Friday morning sees a light ENE breeze, cross-off, with 4ft from the ESE and clean conditions. It’s smaller but workable, with energy at 230 (moderate). Saturday morning 5th and Sunday morning 6th offer small 3ft surf with offshore winds, but the period drops to 8-9 seconds. It’s surfable but nothing special—more of a longboard or funboard session.

Then we hit a big gap. From Monday 7th morning right through until Thursday 10th, the reports are all poor or marginal, with cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, lumpy chop, and rising energy but bad quality. Thursday 10th afternoon sees a jump in swell to 6ft from SE with energy at 528 (strong), but it’s cross-shore and messy. For a beach break like Amaralina, that’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session.

Friday 11th morning is marginal with a clean wind but only 4ft from the ESE. The real next decent window is Saturday morning, 12th September. That morning delivers 4ft swell from the SE, period 9 seconds, combined energy of 412 (strong), with light NE cross-off winds and clean conditions. That’s your second standout—bigger energy, better direction, clean. Crowds possible again. The afternoon gets spoiled by that 19 mph easterly.

After that, the pattern repeats: mornings that are borderline or poor, afternoons blown out by strong east winds. Tuesday 15th morning has a clean 4ft from the ESE with light winds—worth a look if you’re keen, but not a standout.

Overall, the first week has the best quality windows. The second week looks more unreliable, with only that Saturday 12th morning offering true quality. If you’re surfing Amaralina, aim for those early clean windows and don’t expect much after lunch.

Rusty.
