Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks around Banna Strand.

Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tale of two forecasts. The first two weeks are a real struggle, with hardly a wave to get excited about. We’re looking at a long, dry spell from now until the start of the third week of July. The surf is tiny, weak, and just not worth paddling out for. It’s a proper flat spell, so if you’re itching to get wet, you might want to find something else to do for a bit.

But then, things start to look a whole lot more interesting. The standout session kicks off on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd. The ocean will wake up with a solid 7 ft swell rolling in from the WNW, and the wind will be a clean cross-offshore from the ESE at just 9 mph. That’s a recipe for some really good, lined-up surf. The combined wave energy is strong, clocking in at 796, so there’s plenty of push in the water. This is definitely the pick of the run, offering some proper waves if you’re up for it.

That size, over 7 ft, does mean it’s firmly in the expert zone, so only experienced surfers should be out. The morning of Thursday the 23rd will see a still-chunky 5 ft swell from the NW, with similar clean cross-off winds from the SE at 12 mph and a combined energy of 691. It’s a solid follow-up, but the quality dips a touch as the afternoon brings more onshore wind. Before that, on the morning of Tuesday the 21st, you’ll see a sudden pulse of 5 ft swell from the WSW (combined energy 166) with glassy, offshore winds from the ENE at just 3 mph. It’s surfable, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll lack the grunt and shape of the bigger days later in the week. Still, it’s a sign that the waiting is almost over.

So, to sum it up: a long, flat wait, then a proper pulse of swell around the 22nd and 23rd for the experts. The morning of the 22nd is your golden ticket. The water is sitting at about 60°F, which is right where it should be for this time of year.

Stay patient, lads.

Rusty.

Information about the Banna Strand Surf forecast

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