The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be real – Baleal Sul is looking like a total dud for the next 16 days. There’s not a single good session in the mix, and I wouldn’t call any of these a standout.

Starting Wednesday morning, August 5th, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is a cross-on from the north at 15 km/h, making it choppy. The combined energy is weak (173). It’s a sheltered spot, so it doesn’t grab much, and the water temp is a normal 67° for the time of year. Later that afternoon, the wind picks up to 12 mph from the NNW, straight onshore, with a 3ft swell. Not much better.

Thursday, August 6th, is more of the same: onshore winds from the north and NNW, swells around 3ft to 4ft, and combined energy staying moderate (192 to 275). The surf is all poor, so don’t get your hopes up. Friday and Saturday follow the same pattern – onshore winds, small swells, and poor surf quality. The weekend has a few tiny 1ft to 2ft swells, with onshore winds, and combined energy dropping to as low as 53.

There’s a bit of a gap from Sunday, August 9th, through to Monday, August 10th, with no real improvement. The surf stays small and sloppy. Then on Tuesday, August 11th, we see a longer-period swell (11 seconds) from the NNW, but the morning’s cross-on wind and afternoon’s onshore wind keep it messy. The combined energy gets a bit stronger (329 on Tuesday afternoon), but the wave comment still says “poor surf conditions.”

The second week kicks off around Wednesday, August 12th, with similar small swells and onshore winds. The swell direction shifts to the WNW, but the quality doesn’t improve. The real kicker comes on Friday, August 14th, when the swell jumps to 7ft from the NNW, but it’s accompanied by a fresh breeze onshore at 22 mph. That’s ugly. The combined energy is strong (525), but with the wind howling onshore, it’s a mess. This swell is too big for beginners anyway, and with the strong wind, it’s only for the brave or the kite surfers.

Saturday, August 15th, is the biggest of the run – 8ft from the NNW, with a fresh cross-onshore wind at 22 mph. The combined energy is very strong (971), but the wind state is “fresh cross-onshore and lumpy.” That’s not a good look for a paddle. It’s expert-only, and honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Sunday, August 16th, continues with 8ft swells and similar winds.

The last few days, from August 17th to 20th, see the swell drop back down to 3ft to 6ft, but the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the surf poor. The combined energy fades to weak to moderate levels (114 to 385). There’s just no point in the whole 16-day window where the stars align.

So, in short, it’s a blank run. No standouts, no recommendations. The surf stays poor through the entire period. The forecasts can always change, but for now, don’t waste your time. I’m Rusty, signing off.

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.
