The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what we've got in the water for Beau Vallon Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it's a bit of a tough stretch. The forecast is loaded with poor surf conditions right across the board, with a lot of bumpy, lumpy cross-shore and cross-onshore winds churning things up. The water temp is sitting at a pleasant 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you'll be bobbing around in messy lines unless you're desperate for a paddle.
Looking at the first few days, nothing is really coming together. Monday the 14th kicks off with a 5 ft swell from the southeast, but it's getting hammered by a 19 mph cross-wind. The combined energy is a moderate 367, but with that wind, the surface is going to be lumpy cross-chop. Tuesday the 15th sees a slight bump to 6 ft, but the wind picks up and we've got storm risk adding to the mess. The conditions stay grim through Wednesday and Thursday, with the swell dropping to almost nothing on Thursday afternoon.
We do see a bit of an energy spike on Friday the 18th afternoon, with a 7 ft SE swell packing a strong 976 energy, but again, the wind is fresh and cross-onshore, making it a choppy, lumpy affair. Saturday the 19th morning actually sees the strongest energy of the whole fortnight at 1180, with a 7 ft SE swell, but the 19 mph SE wind keeps it ugly. For an exposed beach break like this, when the swell gets over 5 ft with onshore wind, it's just a washing machine. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There's a bit of a lull heading into the start of the following week, with moderate cross-onshore winds and weaker swell around 4 ft on Sunday the 20th. The energy comes back up on Monday the 21st with a 7 ft SE swell and moderate cross-shore wind in the afternoon, but the overall call remains poor surf conditions.
The long-range stuff around the 26th to the 29th is a similar story—fresh winds, lumpy conditions, and mostly moderate swell energy. Nothing is really shaping up as a standout window. The lack of any clean, glassy conditions is the real killer here.
So, if you're a beginner, the bigger days (over 5 ft) are going to be too much for you, especially with the chop. For everyone else, you're looking at a two-week stretch where the trade winds just don't let up. This is a pretty normal blank run for an exposed beach setup like this when the trades are locked in. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, I'd give this one a miss.

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 Beau Vallon Beach 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.
