Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, it’s a quiet stretch ahead. There isn’t a single standout session in this outlook, and most days we’re looking at tiny waves and tricky winds.
Let’s start with Arue Beach. Through Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th, the swell is barely a ripple at 0.7ft to 1ft from the NNE, with periods around 10 to 11 seconds. The wind is a moderate to fresh cross-offshore from the ESE or E, keeping the surface clean, but there’s just no energy to work with. The combined swell energy is weak (16 to 19).
Friday the 10th sees a slight increase, but it’s messy. A 1ft swell from the WSW with periods of 14–15 seconds brings a bit more energy (104 on Friday morning), but the wind turns cross-onshore from the NNE and N, making conditions choppy. Not what you’d paddle out for.
Saturday the 11th offers the most size of the whole period – 2ft from the WSW on the morning session, with a period of 14 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate (204), but it’s still a cross-onshore wind from the WNW, so it’s lumpy and poor. This is about the best the week has to offer, and it’s not saying much.
From Sunday the 12th all the way through to Wednesday the 23rd, the swell drops off dramatically. Most days show 1ft or less, with many recording no swell at all. There are a few glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 14th and Thursday the 16th, but with waves barely 0.7ft to 1ft and periods all over the place, you’d be floating more than surfing. Winds do go offshore or glassy at times, which would be beautiful if there was anything to ride.
Overall, this is a long, flat run with no real waves on offer. With the combined energy values staying in the low double digits or even zero for many days, it’s a time to tune up your longboard, take a walk on the beach, or maybe check if the kite gear is gathering dust. It tends not to stay this poor forever, but for now, there’s nothing calling.
Stay patient,
Rusty

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.
