Austinmer Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, checking in with the surf outlook for Austinmer Beach. Let's get into it.

The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, with a clear standout early on, then a long stretch of small or messy conditions before a solid pulse arrives a full week later.

Right now, the water is sitting at 64°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, no surprises there.

The first real action kicks off on Monday the 10th. It's not perfect, but we've got a clean 5-foot swell pushing in from the ENE with a moderate 9 second period. The combined energy is moderate (407), and with a fresh offshore breeze from the NW, it'll be a bit bumpy but ridable. This is a beginner-friendly break, so it's a good option for the learners, but the wind will keep it from being a standout.

Thursday the 13th is a big day, but not for the faint-hearted. The morning brings a solid 8-foot S swell, and while the wind is light and cross-offshore, the combined energy is huge (1268). That's a powerful swell, and for a beach break like this, it's going to be too big for most. Only for the experts who know what they're doing out there.

Friday the 14th is the real gem. The morning session is looking glassy – total glass-off with a light SSE breeze. The swell drops back to a clean 4-foot from the south, with a solid 9 second period and moderate energy (249). The conditions are perfect, the waves will be clean, and it's a great size for a fun session. This is the one to point your board at. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, but with conditions this good, you might have some company.

After that, things go quiet. From Friday afternoon all the way through to Monday the 24th, it's a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf. You'll see onshore winds, short-period slop, and combined energy figures dropping below 100 at times. It's a long gap of mostly poor conditions, with a few small, surfable moments but nothing worth getting excited about.

Then, on Tuesday the 25th, a late pulse of swell arrives. We're looking at a 6-foot south swell, with a nice gentle offshore from the NW cleaning it up. The combined energy is strong (709), and the report says "very good surf conditions". This is a promising one, but it's a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed. The size is manageable for most, and the offshore wind will make for some excellent waves.

So, to wrap it up: Friday the 14th morning is your best bet – glassy, clean, fun waves. If you're an expert, the big swell on the 13th could be a rush. The late pulse on the 25th is worth watching, but don't hold your breath.

Rusty out.
