Austinmer Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the goods for Austinmer Beach. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming through, with a real standout on the cards if you’re willing to wait a bit. Overall, it’s a promising outlook, especially for those who like a bit of south swell energy.

We kick off Tuesday morning, the 21st of July, with some clean chest-high waves. Swell is coming from the ENE at 4ft, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is light and offshore from the NNW, keeping things tidy. The combined energy is moderate (387). It’s a good start, but for a true standout, we’re looking further ahead.

The next few days are solid but not spectacular. Wednesday morning, the 22nd, has clean, waist-high waves from the ENE at 3ft, with light offshore wind. The energy drops a bit (204). Thursday is a write-off with strong winds and small, weak swell. Friday morning, the 24th, sees a shift to a south swell at 5ft, period 9 seconds, and light winds, giving us clean, punchy waves with moderate energy (343). Saturday morning, the 25th, is similar but with a bit more energy (480) and a 11-second period, offering some real push.

Now, Sunday the 26th is one of the best on offer. The morning is clean with a 4ft south swell, 10-second period, and light offshore wind. The afternoon is glassy, with the swell holding at 4ft. The energy is solid (312-324). It’s clean, consistent, and perfect for a long session. This is a top pick.

The following week gets interesting. Wednesday the 29th has a morning of 4ft south swell, clean with offshore wind, and moderate energy (305). The afternoon is a real oddity—a tiny 2ft swell from the SSE, but with a very long period of 21 seconds, giving it surprising energy (422). That’ll be a weird one, but it could be fun on a point break if you can find one.

The absolute standout, though, is Saturday the 1st of August. The morning has a solid 6ft south swell, 12-second period, and light offshore wind. The combined energy is strong (901). This is a proper groundswell, with long lines and real power. For most surfers, 6ft is a great size, but it’s getting up there, so less experienced crew might want to be careful. The wind is light, so it’ll be clean. Expect crowds to be possible, as it’s a classic setup. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

After that, we get a mix of smaller, cleaner days and some bigger, wind-affected ones. The 3rd of August has a long-period swell from the SSE (17 seconds) but with strong winds, and the energy is still high (729), but the wind will chop it up. It’s a case of pick your window.

There’s a gap of a few days with no real recommendations after the 4th of August, but the run up to that point is strong. Keep an eye on the forecast, because this one’s got a lot of potential.

Rusty.
