The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s look at what’s on offer at Amaralina over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, you’re looking at a pretty rough run for quite a while. The first solid week through to the morning of Monday the 20th is just a write-off – strong, cross-onshore winds, lumpy, messy, and poor surf. There’s a decent amount of swell energy in the water at times, but it’s completely wasted. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday morning, the 20th of July. The wind goes glassy, and the swell is 5ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions,” and it’s the only time in the whole period that gets a score worth mentioning. But it’s rain showers, and the wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean. After that, we’re back into choppy, cross-onshore junk for days.
There’s a brief window on Saturday the 25th morning. The swell drops to 3ft from the ESE, period 8 seconds, and the wind is light cross-off (NER) so it’s clean. The combined energy is weak. And again on Sunday the 26th morning, the wind goes offshore (NNE) with 3ft ESE swell, period 8 seconds, and the energy is still weak. Both are “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” Small, clean, but not exciting.
The real standout is that Monday morning, the 20th. It’s the only time the conditions actually line up with glassy wind and a surfable wave height. If you’re a beginner, that 5ft is fine – not too big. For more experienced surfers, it’s small but at least clean. Crowds are possible at Amaralina (the “sometimes” crowd note), so local knowledge helps.
After that, the forecast goes quiet again with poor surf and onshore winds through the end of the month. Honestly, there’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations after the 26th. So, if you’re keen, circle Monday the 20th and maybe the weekend mornings of the 25th and 26th, but keep expectations low.
Rusty.

Information about the Amaralina Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Amaralina provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Amaralina can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Amaralina 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 (Amaralina) 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 Amaralina 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.
