The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin'.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead for Batts Rock. Right through the end of July and into the first week of August, the swell is completely flat. There’s a solid 10-day gap from the start of the period with absolutely no surf to speak of. The wind is howling offshore most days, which is a tease, but without any wave energy, it’s just a waste of a good breeze. The combined energy reading is zero (0) for the vast majority of that time, which tells you everything you need to know.
The only glimmer comes right at the very end of the run. On Saturday, 1st August, we finally see a tiny pulse of northerly swell creep in, just 0.3 ft with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 1 (one). It’s barely a ripple. The wind stays offshore from the east at 16 mph, so the surface will be clean, but we’re talking about knee-high dribble at best. This spot is already inconsistent, so this little blip is nothing to get excited about.
For a point break like Batts Rock, which needs a proper north swell to light up, this is a total washout. The water temp is sitting at 83°F with an anomaly of 0.4°, so it’s about average for this time of year. But with combined energies of 0 to 2 for the entire 16-day window, it’s time to wax the longboard, or just take the board off the car roof and wait for the next real pulse.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
