Table - best surf conditions forecast for Bay Street over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the 16-day outlook for Bay Street.
Honestly, it’s a rough stretch. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with hardly any quality on offer. The first proper surfable window doesn’t open up until the morning of Saturday, July 18th, and even then it’s only marginal. That’s a full week of waiting from the start of the forecast. The outlook is pretty bleak for most of the period, with small, messy swells and wind that’s mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and disorganised.
The best we’ve got is the morning of Thursday, July 23rd. That’s the only real standout. The wind drops to glassy, absolutely dead calm, which is a massive plus for clean conditions. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the SSW with a period of 14 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell, so it’ll have some shape and energy, but it’s small. The combined energy is weak (139). For a spot like this, that glassy wind is the whole story. Crowds are possible here, so with conditions that clean, you might have a few others around.
The rest of the run is poor. The water temperature is sitting at 68°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – over 4° warmer, so you can leave the thicker wetsuit at home.
For the second week, the outlook doesn’t improve. The morning of Saturday, July 25th shows a slightly bigger swell of 3ft from the SSE (combined energy 509 – moderate), but winds are onshore that afternoon, making it messy. The morning might offer a brief window, but it’s still a marginal call.
So, bottom line: a long, quiet spell with one glassy morning on the 23rd as the only real chance for a clean, small wave session. It’s not a great run, but sometimes that’s how it goes.
Rusty.

Information about the Bay Street Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bay Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bay Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bay Street 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 (Bay Street) 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 Bay Street 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.
