Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Baleal Sul has in store. Straight up, it’s a tough start. We’ve got a long, quiet spell before anything worth paddling out for shows up.
Things kick off with a bit of hope on Friday the 3rd of July morning, with a 6ft swell from the NNW and moderate wave energy (481), but the cross wind and marginal conditions mean it’s not going to be any fun. After that, it’s a real dry spell. From Saturday the 4th right through to the morning of Saturday the 11th of July, you’re looking at tiny, weak surf. It’s mostly poor conditions with onshore or cross-onshore wind, or just flat. There’s a moment of glass on Sunday the 5th morning, but with a wave height of only 1ft, it’s barely a ripple. You’d be better off having a coffee.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday the 12th of July morning. The swell pops back up to 6ft out of the NNW, with moderate energy (498), and the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a bit colder than average for this time of year, so you’ll want a thicker suit or booties. The wave comment says "expect good surf conditions" and the report shows a clean surface. That Sunday morning window is the standout, the only true highlight in the entire 16-day stretch. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and surfable after a long wait.
After that little burst, it fades again. Monday the 13th through the rest of the period has swell, but it’s plagued by onshore or cross-onshore winds that chop it up. There’s size on Friday the 17th of July morning, with 5ft from the WNW, but it’s still cross-on and messy. For beginners, the 6ft on Sunday the 12th is getting to the bigger end of comfortable, and everything else is either too small or too blown out.
Honestly, if you’re in the area, wait for that Sunday the 12th morning session. It’s the one to circle.
Rusty.

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