The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Batts Rock.
Truth is, it’s a flat spell for the whole 16-day window. The first day we’ve got a tiny pulse on Wednesday 15 July, but it’s only 0.7 ft of northerly swell with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 7. The water temp is sitting right on average for the time of year at 82°, nothing unusual there. But honestly, that little bump is not worth paddling out for.
From Thursday 16 July right through to the end of the month, it’s all zeros on the swell front. The wind is offshore every day, mostly from the east at 15 to 22 mph, which would keep things clean if there were any waves, but there just aren’t. The break is inconsistent at the best of times, and this stretch is a total blank. For a point break like Batts Rock, it’s not unusual to see long flat runs, so don’t hold your breath.
The best you can say is that the conditions are clean and offshore, but with no swell, there’s nothing to ride. If you’re really keen, this setup might be more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session, given the steady breeze and flat water. But for surf, there’s nothing on offer.
Keep an eye on the long-range, but forecasts can change. For now, it’s a hard no.
Rusty.

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