Big Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's talk Big Bay. Rusty here with the goods on the next couple weeks. We've got a proper swell window comin', but you gotta read the wind right. Size is gonna be the boss.

Starting Saturday the 15th, it's game on. Glassy conditions early with a light ESE wind at about 3 mph. We're looking at a solid 6 ft swell from the WSW, rolling in at 14 seconds. The water is proper chilly, 55°F, which feels a good 5°F colder than usual. The combined energy is cranked at 1100, so there's some serious push. This is prime for experienced surfers, but it's gonna be a handful for beginners. Afternoon goes cross and the tide messes it up.

Sunday the 16th, the swell builds to 6 ft and 7 ft, but the wind turns messy from the NNW and NW, making it cross-onshore and onshore. Quality goes out the window.

Monday the 17th is more of the same: big 8 ft to 8 ft swell but choppy conditions with a shorter 13-second period. A lot of water (energy over 2200) but it's not clean.

Then we hit a sweet spot from Tuesday the 18th through Thursday the 20th. The wind swings to the SSE, holding steady as a clean cross-offshore breeze. Swell sits around 6 ft to 8 ft from the SW, with a 12 to 13-second period. Lots of energy (over 1200 most of the time) and clean faces. Wednesday the 19th morning is a standout: 8 ft, 12 seconds, light SSE wind, clean, and a top-tier call for experienced surfers. Thursday the 20th also looks excellent with a consistent 7 ft and clean conditions all day.

Friday the 21st starts glassy with a 6 ft SW swell, but goes onshore in the afternoon and gets ruined.

Now, for the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd, the ocean is gonna roar. Saturday the 22nd sees a massive jump to 12 ft in the morning, then 15 ft in the afternoon with WSW wind. That's way too big for this spot, and a lumpy, choppy mess. Sunday the 23rd is still giant at 12 ft to 13 ft from the SSW, but a strong cross-offshore wind from the SSE will clean it up. That size is strictly for experts—energy is over 7000. Not a day to mess around.

We get another nice run from Monday the 24th to Tuesday the 25th. Swell drops back to 5 ft to 8 ft from the S/SSW, with a lovely 14 to 15-second period. The wind is light and cross-off, making for clean waves. Monday morning is a true standout: 8 ft SW swell, 14 seconds, offshore winds from the SE, glassy, and excellent for experienced surfers.

After that, Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are average with cross-onshore winds. A quick flash on Friday the 28th morning with a glassy 8 ft swell from the SW, but it goes onshore in the afternoon. The final weekend of the 29th and 30th looks like a total loss with strong winds and poor conditions.

So, to sum it up: your best windows are the glassy Saturday the 15th morning for the experienced crew, and the clean stretch from the 18th through the 20th, with Monday the 24th morning as the absolute pick.

Rusty out.
