The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this 16-day window is a real struggle. There’s nothing to get excited about, and I mean nothing. The first bit of surf we see is just a whisper on the morning of Monday, July 20th, but it’s barely a ripple.
From Monday, July 20th, through to Friday, August 4th, it’s a long, flat grind. We’re only talking about a tiny 0.3ft swell from the north with a short period of 9 seconds—that’s just not enough push to do anything. The wave energy is gutless, sitting at a measly 2 for that first Monday morning. Wind is offshore from the ENE, which would normally be a cruiser, but with no swell, it’s just a waste of clean conditions. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
The only spot on the radar is Batts Rock (Barbados). It’s a point break, inconsistent and it rarely breaks, so this flat spell isn’t a surprise. It’s a spot that needs a proper swell from the north to work, and we just don’t have it. The offshore wind is present, but it’s like having a perfect car and no gas. The crowd factor is listed as “sometimes,” but honestly, even the seagulls won’t be out.
We get a few more days of the same tiny 0.3ft swell, like on Friday, July 31st, and Saturday, August 1st, but it’s still poor. The period bumps up to 10 seconds on the 1st, but that’s still just a weak, inconsistent groundswell that’s going to break too straight for a beach break. The energy is still pathetic, sitting at 1 or 2. The wind stays offshore, but it’s fresh at 19 mph on some days, which is just a stiff breeze on flat water.
Bottom line: this is a blank run. For a break that’s already inconsistent, this is par for the course. Keep the board in the car, but don’t bother paddling out. The forecasts can always change, but right now, there’s not a single standout wave in the whole 16 days.
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.
