Alright, this is Rusty checkin’ in. Let’s have a yarn about what’s ahead.
It’s a bit of a quiet start for Barron Rivermouth (point/river). We’ve got a string of days with some background swell, but the quality just isn’t there for a proper session – persistent cross-onshore winds are messing with any chance of clean waves through the first week. You’re looking at pretty weak energy overall, with wave energy readings mostly in the low to mid hundreds. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
Honestly, the first real flicker of hope doesn’t show up until Saturday morning, the 18th of July. That morning the swell picks up to about 5ft from the SW, and with the wind turning light and onshore, the energy jumps – solid moderate energy starting to build. Still, the conditions are listed as marginal, so it’s a bit of a gamble for early birds.
Now, if you’re willing to wait, things get interesting a couple of days later. Monday morning, the 20th of July, is your standout. The wind goes glassy – offshore from the ESE – and that’s a huge positive. The swell holds at around 3ft from the SW, with a very long period of 16 seconds, packing a decent punch for its size. For a point/river setup, that long-period groundswell is perfect, giving shape and power. It’s still a fairly consistent spot, and while crowds are noted as “sometimes,” a clean, glassy morning like that could draw a few, but it’s worth it. This is the best on offer.
After that, it turns messy again. The longest-range hints from Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th show some larger swell – up to about 5ft – but with more cross-onshore winds and shorter periods, keeping the quality poor. The energy does get strong, but the wind just won't cooperate.
So, bottom line: a long dry spell, then a cracking Monday morning window on the 20th. Set the alarm for that one.
Signing off.

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.
