The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a grim stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with barely a ripple to get excited about. The forecast starts with a bit of tiny, weak swell, but it’s nothing to write home about and it fades out fast. From the 18th of July onwards, we’re looking at a solid block of nothing – completely flat conditions for the best part of a week and a half. That’s a long, dry spell.
The only break on the cards is Batts Rock (Barbados). It’s a point break that’s inconsistent and is set to see some steady offshore wind from the east, which is clean. But the problem is the swell. From Monday 13th July through to Friday 17th, we’re talking about tiny waves – just 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft on offer. The combined swell energy is next to nothing, barely reaching 15 (15) on the 13th and dropping to single digits or zero after that. The period is all over the place, from 8 seconds to 11 seconds, but it doesn’t matter when there’s no height. The water temperature is 82°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
There’s not a single standout session in this whole 16-day window. The wind is blowing offshore, but you need a wave to surf. For the first few days, it’s a case of “if you’re desperate and have a longboard, you might get a knee-high wobble,” but honestly, it’s poor surf conditions all the way. After the 18th, it’s a flat, calm ocean. Don’t bother checking the buoys; there’s nothing there.
It’s a tough outlook, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. The forecasts can change, and it never stays flat forever, but for now, this is a month to find other things to do.
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.

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.
