The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, the forecast for Batts Rock over the next 16 days is a total bust. From now until the end of August, there's just nothing on offer that's worth paddling out for. A couple of tiny blips show up, but they're way too small to ride.
The first hint of something shows on the morning of Thursday, August 20th. Batts Rock is a point break that works best with swell from the north. We get a 0.7ft north swell with an 8-second period. The combined energy is a measly 4 – that's super weak. The wind would be a fresh offshore breeze from the east at 18 mph, which means clean conditions, but with a wave that small, it's just flat. The water temp is 84°F, about normal for the time of year. That little bump disappears quickly, and we're back to nothing by Friday afternoon.
Then, on Tuesday, August 25th, there's another tiny flicker: a 0.3ft north swell with a 12-second period and energy of just 3. Again, unridable. The rest of the days are all zeros – flat and clean. The wind stays offshore or cross-offshore for most of the time, blowing from the east or northeast at 15 to 22 mph. The conditions would be perfect if there were any waves, but there aren't. Batts Rock is already a spot that doesn't break often, and a stretch like this is pretty normal when the swell sources go quiet.
So, there's no standout day, no best break. Just a whole lot of nothing. Keep the board in the car and hope the forecasts change for the better.
Rusty.

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.
