The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Look, I’ll level with you – the first week and a half is a real grind. We’ve got a long stretch of small, messy, poor surf at Barron Rivermouth. The energy is mostly weak, with combined energy readings in the low hundreds, and the wind is a constant cross-onshore. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 89°, but that’s the only nice thing I can say. You’ll be twiddling your thumbs.
The first real hope arrives on Sunday, August 30th, in the morning. Glassy conditions, a light S wind, and a 3ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period. The combined energy comes in at 446 – moderate – and the overcast sky is gone. It’s still not big, but it’s the cleanest it’s been all week. That’s your best bet early on.
Then there’s a real gap. Monday and Tuesday are a write-off again. On Wednesday, September 2nd, we start to see a shift. The swell gets a bit of a longer period (16 seconds) and the energy climbs into the 400s, but the wind is still a cross or cross-on shore. It’s marginal, but the potential is there.
The real standout, though, is shaping up for Monday, September 7th, in the afternoon. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a solid 5ft SW groundswell, with a period of 13 seconds. The combined energy is a full 947 – that’s proper moderate energy. And the wind? Completely dead calm, glassy. That’s a recipe for some very good surf. The break is a point/river mouth, so that long-period energy will wrap in nicely. It’s a rare moment of calm in an otherwise rough stretch.
After that, the swell really picks up. Tuesday, September 8th, sees 6ft to 6ft SW swell, but the wind goes cross-shore and cross-on, making it a bit of a gnarly paddle. The energy jumps to 1427 and then 2295 – that’s strong wave energy. This is for the experienced crew only. Then on Wednesday, September 9th, we’re into 8ft WSW swell with a clean cross-off wind, but at that size, it’s expert territory. The energy reads 2612 and 3134 – very strong.
So, to sum it up: the early part is a bust. Your best clean window is Sunday morning, August 30th, and the absolute standout is Monday afternoon, September 7th. That’s the one where the stars align. The big stuff later in the second week is for the heavy hitters.
Stay patient, and keep your eyes on that Monday.
Rusty.

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 Barron Rivermouth 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.
