The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s cut to the chase. The next 16 days at Batts Rock are a total write-off. The surf finder is giving us a goose egg for the entire run. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, to get excited about.
This Monday afternoon sets the tone: a tiny 0.1m north swell rolling in with a weak energy of just 2. The wind is offshore from the east at 25 km/h, so the surface will be clean, but you’re looking at a flat, glassy pond. Water temp is 84°F, which is right where it should be for this time of year.
From Tuesday all the way through to next Tuesday, the swell charts flatline. We are talking a full week of nothing. The wind stays offshore and clean, but that’s about all you can say. Batts Rock is already an inconsistent point, and this is a prime example of it. The surf quality is just poor, and it’s not breaking.
Around the 12th and 13th, we get a hint of life, but it’s a joke. Still a 0.1m wave, but the period drops to a junky 7 and 8 seconds. That’s weak, short-period windswell. The energy is down to 1. Not worth wetting a wetsuit for.
Then on the 14th, the wind cranks from the east at 40 km/h. The swell is still a pathetic 0.1m, but the period stretches out to 13 seconds. The energy climbs to 3, but that’s still weak. That heavy offshore wind will make it glassy, but it’ll be tough to paddle into anything even if there was something to paddle into.
The 15th brings the highest period of the whole stretch – 15 seconds. Swell height is still only 0.1m, but the energy bumps to 4. It’s a tease. Clean, offshore conditions and a long-period groundswell directionally correct from the north, but with no size, it’s just a ripple on a pond.
After that, it’s back to flatness for the rest of the window. The 18th shows a tiny 0.1m blip with a 10-second period and weak energy, but that’s it.
So, the honest truth is there are no good surf options in this 16-day forecast for Batts Rock. This is a proper blank run. For a break this inconsistent, it’s not abnormal to see a period like this. The only thing to do is keep your eyes on the forecasts, because they can change. But for now, leave the board at home.

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 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.
