The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again. I’m looking at the same picture for Batts Rock, just in feet and miles per hour. And I gotta tell ya, it’s a hard watch. No decent surf in the whole 16-day outlook. The first sign of any wave energy pops up on Thursday, 20th August – we’re talking a tiny 0.7ft wave from the north, with an 8-second period and combined energy of just 5. The wind is offshore, blowing fresh from the east, so it’d look pretty on the surface, but there’s no grunt. Not a wave worth chasing.
Everything before that, from now until Wednesday, 19th August, is completely flat. After that little hiccup of a swell, the rest of the run from the 21st onward is either zero or that same pathetic 0.3ft to 0.7ft junk, with combined energy never getting above 5. On Wednesday, 26th August, there’s a 0.3ft pulse with a longer period of 11 seconds, but still only 2 units of energy – basically a lake. Water temp is about 84°, which is average for the season, but that doesn’t help when there’s nothing to ride.
Batts Rock is a point break that’s inconsistent anyway, and it needs a proper north swell. The wind is blowing offshore from the east, which would normally be clean, but with no waves it’s just a waste. This is about as empty a forecast as I’ve seen. If you’re into kiting, the steady easterly trades will be cranking, but for surfing? Save the energy. It’s a big, fat flat spell.
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.
