The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Batts Rock.
Gotta level with you – it’s gonna be a long, quiet stretch. Looking at the full 16 days, and the first time we see any surf worth talking about is a total no-show. From Tuesday 11th August all the way through to Sunday 17th August, it’s flat. Combined wave energy is a big fat zero. Wind is offshore or cross-offshore most of those days – clean conditions, sure – but there's nothing to surf. Glassy flatness.
Monday 18th August in the afternoon, a tiny pulse appears: a 1 ft swell from the north with a period of 7 seconds. Combined energy is only 8 – that’s barely a bump. It’s “poor surf conditions.” The wind stays moderate offshore, keeping the surface clean, but there’s no grunt to it.
Tuesday 19th August morning is more of the same – 1 ft at 6 seconds, energy of 7. Just a tease.
Then we’re right back to the flat. From Wednesday 20th August afternoon through to the end of the period on Wednesday 26th August, it’s tiny, inconsistent. Swell heights are barely 0.3 ft, periods bouncing between 6 and 10 seconds. Combined energy never reaches more than 3. Strong offshore winds keep it clean but it’s empty.
The standout? There isn’t one. The best you get is a few hours on the 18th and 19th with ankle-high slop. Don’t plan a trip for it.
Water temps are about average for the time of year.
For the whole 16 days, there’s just nothing for a surfer. Batts Rock can be inconsistent, and this is one of those normal blank runs for the area. Keep your board handy in case a forecast shifts, but for now, don’t hold your breath.
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.
