Table - best surf conditions forecast for Arrawarra over the next 16 days.
G'day, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming for Arrawarra over the next couple of weeks.
We've got a bit of a slow start, but the first real wave to paddle for is this Friday, the 10th of July. The water temp is sitting at about 68°F, which is pretty average for this time of year. We're looking at a solid 6ft swell out of the SE, with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 738. The wind is a cross-off from the SSE at 9 mph, so it's going to be clean. This is a decent setup, but it's a point break for advanced surfers, and it can get crowded, so keep your head on a swivel.
The real standout window, though, is Saturday morning, the 11th. It's not the biggest swell, coming in at 4ft from the SE, but the period is a nice 10 seconds and the combined energy is still a solid 483. The wind? Absolutely glassy from the NW at 3 mph. That's the kind of morning you dream about. The waves will be clean and lined up. This is your best bet for the whole period—a proper session.
Sunday the 12th is a write-off with strong cross-offshore winds and a drop in size. Monday the 13th has tiny 2ft waves, not worth a paddock. Tuesday the 14th is flat and not worth mentioning.
Things pick up again Wednesday the 15th with a 5ft SSW swell, but the period is short at 6 seconds, so it'll be a bit lumpy. The wind is offshore though, so it's rideable. Thursday the 16th holds a similar 6ft SSE swell with a 7-second period and offshore winds, and the energy is moderate at 302. It's a step up in size, but the short period makes it a bit of a close-out option for the experts.
The following week, from the 19th of July, we see a cleaner run of waves. Sunday morning the 19th has 4ft ESE swell with an 8-second period, offshore winds from the S at 9 mph, and moderate energy at 259. It's a good, clean option. The 22nd and 24th of July have some small, clean windows with glassy conditions, but the size is tiny, under 3ft.
Overall, Saturday morning the 11th is the absolute standout. Glassy, clean, and a nice 4ft SE swell. After that, the 19th is your next best bet for a proper session. The rest of the second week is small and inconsistent, so don't get your hopes up too high. Keep an eye on the forecasts.
Rusty.

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

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 Arrawarra 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.
