The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Barron Rivermouth over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, this is a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, drawn-out run of pretty average conditions. The good news is that the river mouth setup is a point break, so it can handle a bit of swell direction. But the reality is, for the next week and a half, we're mostly dealing with poor to marginal surf with a lot of onshore and cross-onshore winds messing things up. The water is a warm 88°F with a big anomaly – that's much warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a bit of a wild card.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't come until the morning of the 28th of July. That's the standout. We've got a solid 4ft swell from the SW, with a period of 17 seconds. That's a nice, long groundswell that will wrap in nicely. But the real magic is that glassy wind – a light 3 mph from the SSW, making it completely clean. The combined energy is strong, hitting 1021 (moderate to strong). This is the one to circle on the calendar. It's best for experienced surfers given the size and the power, but it's going to be unreal.
The morning of the 29th of July is also a beauty – another glassy morning with 4ft from the SW, and a 16-second period. It's a touch less energy than the day before (839), but still a fantastic session. The wind is glassy again from the S at 3 mph. That's two mornings in a row that look excellent.
Outside of those two days, the rest of the outlook is a bit of a grind. The 27th of July morning has a 4ft swell and a score of 3, but it's cross-onshore, so it won't be as clean. The long period swells (15-19 seconds) we see in the second week will be best on this point break, they won't just close out like they would on a beach. But the wind is the enemy for most of the time. The 30th of July morning has 5ft from the SW, but it's onshore again, making it a mess.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The 28th and 29th of July mornings are the standouts. Get on it. The 27th of July morning is a possible, but not a guarantee. After that, the wind looks like it'll turn it all to chop again.
Crowds are listed as "sometimes" at Barron, so when those glassy mornings hit, you can bet there'll be a few of us out there, but it's worth it.
Stay stoked, and keep an eye on the sky.
Rusty.

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

If you surf the same spot (Barron Rivermouth) 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 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. 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.
