The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for this next stretch.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days have some swell, but the conditions are messy – Sunday (August 9th) is a write-off with lumpy cross-shore winds and rain. The real action doesn’t start to build until Monday the 10th, but even then, it’s only marginal. The standout window is a clean sweep from the morning of Thursday, August 13th, right through Friday morning, August 14th.
That Thursday and Friday morning is where it’s at. Berrys Beach is the spot, and it’s all about the offshore wind. Thursday morning serves up a solid 7.9ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 15 seconds, and the wind is a moderate offshore from the NW. The water’s sitting at 56.1°, which is about 1.4° warmer than usual – nothing crazy, just a touch of comfort. The combined energy is pumping at 2593 (strong), and for a reef break, that long-period swell will groom into some proper lines. It’s an advanced-only wave at this size, and with the crowds listed as "often", expect a few locals out there for the morning session. Friday morning keeps that quality going with a 6.9ft SW swell, still offshore from the WNW, with moderate energy at 1991.
Don't sleep on the Wednesday afternoon (August 12th) either. It’s a bit of a sneak peek – 5.2ft SW swell with a fresh offshore from the WNW, energy at 1833. It’s rated marginal, but if you’re keen and the tide lines up, you could snag a clean one.
After that Friday morning, the wind swings onshore and the quality drops off hard. Saturday and Sunday (August 15th-16th) are a write-off with onshore breezes and chop. There’s a brief, clean blip on Monday morning (August 17th) with 3.6ft SW swell and light cross-offshore wind, but it’s small. The rest of the second week looks pretty grim – mostly onshore winds and small, weak swell. A few clean windows pop up on Wednesday and Friday (August 19th and 21st), but the swell is tiny at 2.6ft to 3.6ft, not enough to get excited about. The long-range promise from Thursday the 13th is the only true standout, so make the most of it.

Information about the Berrys Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Berrys Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Berrys Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Berrys Beach 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 (Berrys Beach) 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 Berrys 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. 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.
Berrys Beach is 37 km (23 miles) from Mornington. If you plan a holiday in Phillip Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mornington. Mornington has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
