Alright, let’s talk about Arrawarra. This point break is gonna see a mixed bag over the next couple weeks, but there are a few moments that’ll get the heart pumping. Water temp is sitting at 68.2°, which is pretty average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
We start off with a bit of a messy scene on Tuesday July 7 afternoon. Southerly wind at 19 mph is blowing offshore, but the swell is a solid 11.5 ft from the southeast with an 11-second period. That’s a lot of energy (2679), but the conditions are marginal – strong wind, big swell, and even though it’s offshore, it’s a handful. Not the kind of session you’d take a beginner into. Wednesday July 8 morning cleans up a little with 9.8 ft SE swell, wind dropping to 16 mph cross-off, still plenty of energy (2001). By Wednesday afternoon it improves: 9.8 ft SSE swell, 12 mph cross-off, energy jumps to 3895 – that’s powerful, and the wind is clean. Still, it’s a big swell, more for experienced surfers.
Thursday July 9 morning is a real highlight early on. Offshore wind from the SSW at 16 mph, 5.9 ft SSE swell, 10-second period, energy 1004. The conditions are excellent for experienced surfers – clean, offshore, and a decent size. Thursday afternoon fades a bit with cross-off wind. Friday July 10 stays clean with gentle offshore breezes and 5.2–5.6 ft SE swell, but the energy drops to around 500–600. Good fun, not epic.
Then we hit a flat spell. Saturday July 11 and Sunday July 12 see the swell shrink to 3.3 ft or less, with onshore or cross winds and very low energy. Monday July 13 and Tuesday July 14 are tiny – 1.0–2.6 ft, mostly glassy but not worth paddling out for. That lull lasts through to

A general guide to surfing at Arrawarra can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
