The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Balmoral Point are looking grim. This is a very sheltered reef, and it’s *rarely breaks* as it is, so it takes a solid, directional swell to get it going. The next 16 days just don’t have that. You’re looking at a long stretch of nothing.
The water temp is sitting at 63°F, which is about normal for the time of year – nothing unusual there.
We kick off on Sunday the 26th of July with absolutely zero swell and a cross-offshore breeze. It’s flat. That sets the tone. Monday the 27th sees a tiny 0.7ft SSE swell creep in, period a short 8 seconds, combined energy of only 7 (weak). It’s poor surf conditions. Tuesday through to Sunday the 2nd of August are the same story: tiny dribbles of swell, nothing over 1ft, all short-period junk. Winds are all over the place, but the wave energy is pathetic – the best you get is 51 on the afternoon of the 1st. That’s still weak. It’s not worth a paddle.
From Monday the 3rd of August through Saturday the 9th, it’s mostly flat or showing 0.3ft to 1.0ft of weak, short-period slop. Energy values are in the single digits or low teens. Even with clean winds on some mornings, there’s nothing to ride. It’s a full week of nothing worth mentioning.
Then, finally, on Monday the 10th of August, we see a spike. The morning shows a 4ft SE swell with a period of 11 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 297 – that’s moderate energy! The wind is light and offshore from the NNW. This is the only standout in the whole 16 days. The size is about 4ft, so it’s not for beginners, but it’s not huge either. The direction from the SE is close to that optimum ESE direction the reef likes. That morning could offer some fun, clean waves. However, the afternoon drops to 3ft with a cross-shore breeze, so it’s a short window. This is a promising long-range call, but don’t bank on it yet.
Overall, there’s one morning almost two weeks out that looks like it could deliver, but the rest is a desert. For a spot that *rarely breaks*, a blank run like this is pretty normal. Don’t hold your breath. Keep an eye on that Monday the 10th of August morning.
Rusty.

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