Alright folks, Rusty here. Grab a seat, because I’ve looked over the charts for Arue Beach and, well, it’s a flat spell. Plain and simple. We’ve got a sixteen-day window ahead of us, but there’s not a single standout session on the cards—not one. The whole run is basically a write-off for anything you’d call a proper surf.
The water’s sitting at a warm 80.6°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so that’s one nice thing. But that’s about where the good news ends. From Sunday the 5th all the way through to Monday the 20th of July, the swell is tiny—like, never reaching even 2.6ft. Most mornings and afternoons show nothing but 0.7ft to 2.3ft of weak, short-period slop. The combined energy is almost always below 100 (often under 50), so there’s just no power in the water. Even when we do get a tiny blip of longer-period energy from the WSW on Friday the 10th (107) and Sunday the 12th (148), the wave height is still pathetically small—1.3ft and 2.3ft respectively. It’s a tease.
The winds are all over the place, too. We get a few clean-looking windows—like Tuesday the 7th with offshore SSE winds, or Thursday the 16th with clean offshore conditions—but with no swell to work with, it’s just flat and tidy. Not surfable. There’s a moment on Tuesday the 14th where it goes glassy with WSW wind at 3 mph, but again, the swell is 1.3ft of 7-second mush. Forget it.
For a spot that’s *fairly consistent* normally, this is a brutal run. It just doesn’t look good. Honestly, if you’re desperate for water time, this setup is more suited for a kite than a surfboard, because those cross-off and offshore winds are steady, but the waves are non-existent for paddling.
Hang in there, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a long, blank stretch.

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