The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty again. Let’s break it down for you in feet and miles per hour.
This 16-day forecast is a tough one to swallow. We’ve got a massive gap with no real surf to speak of. From Tuesday the 14th all the way through Saturday the 26th of July, it’s flat or near-flat. Wave heights are mostly 0.6 ft to 1 ft, and the combined energy is weak, sitting below 100 for most of it. The wind is often clean or cross-off, but with no swell, you’re just staring at a calm ocean. There’s a glassy moment on the morning of Tuesday the 21st, but the swell is still only 1 ft – not enough to ride.
The first sign of life comes on Monday the 27th of July. Arue Beach gets a boost in energy to 221 (moderate), with a 2 ft wave from the NE. The period is 16 seconds, which is a very long period groundswell. That’s good for power and shape, but at a beach break, it might be too straight. A light offshore wind from the SE keeps it clean in the morning. The afternoon gets some rain showers and a lower score. It’s surfable, but just barely.
The most notable day is Tuesday the 28th of July. The swell is 2 ft from the NE with a 13-second period, and the combined energy is 308, a solid moderate reading. The wind is howling offshore from the ESE at 28 mph in the morning and 31 mph in the afternoon. It’s clean, but it’s a strong breeze to near gale strength. Paddling out will be a battle, and this one is for experts only. Water temp is about normal for the season.
So, the best you’ve got is the morning of Monday the 27th for a quiet session, or Tuesday the 28th if you’re built for the wind. It’s a long, dry spell, but the surf will turn around eventually.
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.
