Blue Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Blue Bay.

First thing you need to know – there’s almost nothing doing for the first couple of days. Monday and Tuesday the 14th and 15th are a write-off. Tiny, choppy, and messy with onshore winds. Just leave the board in the car. It’s not looking good at all.

The first real glimmer of hope pops up on Wednesday the 16th. We get a solid 12ft swell rolling in from the south, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is strong (2208). The morning has a clean look with a cross-offshore wind, but the size is pushing it – only for experienced surfers at 12ft. The afternoon goes lumpy and choppy again, so the window is tight.

Thursday the 17th keeps the energy up with a 10ft south swell (2232) and clean conditions in the morning. Again, this is expert territory. The swell is still solid, but the wind is workable. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy again, so early is the play.

The standout of the whole run, in my books, is Saturday the 19th in the morning. We get a small 2ft south groundswell, but check it – the period is a very long 16 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (279), and the wind is glassy. Zero wind. That means clean, glassy conditions. For a reef break like Blue Bay that likes a longer period, this could be a real gem. Just note it’s an inconsistent spot, so you might wait for sets, but when they come, they’ll be clean. Also, crowds are possible here sometimes, so don’t be surprised if a few others have the same idea.

After that, it gets a bit average again. The swell drops off, and winds turn onshore or cross-shore for most of the second week. There’s a pulse of bigger swell around the 21st and 22nd with 8ft to 10ft south swell, but the winds are mostly cross-onshore and choppy, so not a great look. Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th show another big south swell – 8ft to 10ft with moderate energy in the thousands – but again, the wind isn’t cooperating, and the conditions are described as marginal. Only for the hardcore.

To be honest, Saturday morning the 19th is the only one I’d really circle. The rest is either too big and messy, or too small and blown out. Keep an eye on the long-range stuff for the 28th and 29th – it’s promising but way out there, so don’t bank on it yet.

Rusty.
