The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about this stretch of coast. Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run for the next couple of weeks. The water is sitting at 72°, which is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
We’re looking at a long gap of nothing. From now, Wednesday the 15th, all the way through to Sunday the 19th, it’s just poor surf conditions. Tiny waves, bad wind, and no energy. You’re not missing a thing.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Monday the 20th. That morning, Belmar starts to see a little life. The swell picks up to 3 ft, coming from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 132, but the real story is the wind. It’s glassy, dead calm. That’s a major positive. The surf is still very ordinary, but it’s the only window in the whole forecast that’s even worth a look for a small wave session. The swell direction isn’t ideal for this spot’s optimum, but the clean conditions make it the best on offer.
Monday afternoon goes to crap with a cross-shore wind, and then the rest of the week is a write-off. Tuesday the 21st through Thursday the 30th is just a graveyard of poor surf, tiny waves, and onshore or cross winds. The energy drops off a cliff, with most readings under 100 (weak). There’s a brief moment on Saturday the 25th afternoon where it gets offshore and clean with 2 ft, but it’s barely surfable.
If you’re desperate for any wave, Monday morning the 20th is your only real shot. Keep the boards in the car for that one.
Rusty.

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