Blue Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, listen up. Blue Bay is a reef break, and it’s inconsistent, so you gotta be patient. Water temp is about 69°F, right where it should be for this time of year. Nothing weird going on.

The first real chance is Monday the 20th. The morning has a solid 6ft groundswell out of the ENE, with a nice 11-second period, and the wind is glassy. The combined energy is strong at 1052. That’s a proper session, clean and lined up, even if it’s inconsistent. The afternoon turns cross-on and choppy, so get in early.

Tuesday the 21st drops to 5ft, wind goes cross-shore, and it’s just average.

Wednesday the 22nd morning is small, 4ft, but offshore wind from the west keeps it clean. Surfable, but nothing special.

Thursday the 23rd is tiny, 3ft, clean but weak, energy only 103.

Now, Friday the 24th morning is the first real standout. A fresh 7ft south swell, 10-second period, offshore wind from the west-southwest. Combined energy jumps to 770. That’s a clean, punchy Friday morning session, and it’s the best of the first week.

Saturday the 25th keeps it going with 5ft south swell, but the period stretches to 12 seconds, giving it more power. Offshore wind in the morning, energy 532. Good weekend surf.

Sunday the 26th morning, 6ft south swell, 11-second period, light offshore wind. Energy 701. Another top session, clean and punchy. The afternoon gets cross-on, so morning is the call.

Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are smaller, around 4ft, but still clean with offshore winds. Good for a cruise.

Now, Thursday the 30th gets big. 8ft in the morning, 10ft in the afternoon, both from the south with a very long 14-second period. Combined energy is massive – 3697 in the morning, 3282 in the afternoon. That’s expert-only territory. The reef will be heavy and powerful. Wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but it’s big. If you’re not experienced, stay out.

Friday the 31st is still solid, 7ft in the morning, 7ft in the afternoon, but the wind goes cross-on in the afternoon and gets messy. Morning is your window.

The real standout is Saturday the 1st of August. Morning session, 7ft south swell, 13-second period, clean cross-off wind. Combined energy is a thumping 1448. That’s the one. The reef will be firing, long period, clean, and powerful. Best session of the whole 16 days. Afternoon gets cross-shore and messy, so get up early.

Sunday the 2nd drops to 5ft, and the rest of the run into the 4th of August is smaller, around 5ft, with cross-off or cross winds, and the energy dips. Still surfable, but nothing special.

So, the best on offer: Friday the 24th morning for a clean 7ft session, and the absolute standout is Saturday the 1st of August morning – 7ft, long period, clean, powerful, and that reef will be doing its thing. It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it’s the one to aim for.
