The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's looking grim. We're staring down a long, dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about for most of the 16-day run. There's a huge gap with no real surf on offer, so don't be holding your breath for the next week or so.
The only spot that's even on the radar is Batts Rock, a point break that's known for being inconsistent. It's a shame, because when it works, it's a fun little wave. The water temperature is sitting at 84°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick wetsuit.
We start off on Friday, August 14th with nothing. Zilch. The wind is howling from the ENE at 25 mph, making it a cross-off breeze, but there's no swell to work with. The combined energy is a flat zero (0). This pattern of clean, offshore winds but no waves just keeps repeating day after day. Saturday, Sunday, all the way through the week, we see fresh easterly breezes at 15 to 22 mph cleaning up a flat ocean. It's a real tease.
We finally see a tiny pulse on Friday, August 21st. A 0.7 ft swell from the north with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 7, and with fresh offshore winds at 19 mph, it'll be clean but absolutely tiny. Not worth paddling out for.
The same story plays out on Saturday, August 22nd, with an even smaller 0.3 ft groundswell (10-second period) and a combined energy of just 2. Still clean, still tiny. That's the highlight of the whole second week, and it's barely a highlight.
The real "best" of this outlook, if you can call it that, is the morning of Wednesday, August 26th. We get a 1.0 ft swell from the north with a 7-second period, and the combined energy climbs to a whopping 8. The wind is a fresh offshore from the east at 19 mph, so it'll be clean. But at 1.0 ft, it's barely a ripple. This is about as good as it gets, and it's a long way off.
Overall, this is a classic case of "check back later." The winds are often good, but the swell just isn't there. Don't waste your time.
Rusty.

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.
