The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Blue Bay over the next couple of weeks.

First up, water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing wild there.

The pattern kicks off on Saturday the 29th of August, but it’s a total write-off. We’ve got 4ft of SSE swell but the wind is cross-on from the SE at 6 mph, and the wave energy is moderate (532). The comment says poor surf conditions, and I’m not gonna argue with that. Sunday the 30th is where it gets interesting. Sunday morning, the wind goes glassy – NNE at 3 mph – and we’ve got 3ft of S swell at 9 seconds. The wave energy is moderate (289) and the conditions are glassy. That’s a standout morning. The swell direction is SSE, which matches the optimum for Blue Bay, and the wind is light and offshore, so it’ll be clean. Crowds are possible here, so get out early if you can.

Monday the 31st drops off – 2ft of S swell with a 16-second period (that’s a long-period groundswell) but the wind is cross-on from the NE. The long period means it’ll break straight at this reef setup, so it’s not ideal. Tuesday and Wednesday stay small and ordinary, with clean conditions but not enough push. Thursday the 3rd of September is tiny, with 1ft of ENE swell.

Friday the 4th of September has a weird one – 1ft of S swell with an 18-second period, which is very long, but the wind is cross-on from the ENE at 12 mph, so it’s messy. The energy is still moderate (219), but it’s not worth paddling out for.

The next real standout is Sunday the 6th of September. That morning we’ve got 4ft of S swell at 10 seconds, with a WNW offshore wind at 12 mph. The wave energy is strong (304) and the conditions are clean. That’s a good opportunity for intermediates, though the swell is moderate. The offshore wind will keep it glassy and make paddling out easier.

After that, it’s a long dry spell. Monday the 7th has a tiny 1.0ft of NE swell, and from Tuesday the 8th through to Saturday the 12th, it’s mostly flat or poor. There’s a big spike on Wednesday the 9th of September – 8ft of S swell at 11 seconds, with wave energy at a huge 1725, but the wind is cross-on from the ESE at 6 mph. That’s a lot of water moving, but the wind is not favourable. The swell is over 8ft, so only experts should even think about it. The energy is very strong, but the conditions are marginal. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th also have solid 8ft and 4ft S swells, but again, the wind is cross-on, so it’s not clean.

The last weekend of the forecast period, Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th of September, fizzles out with small, poor surf.

So, the best on offer is Sunday morning, the 30th of August – glassy, clean, 3ft of S swell. That’s your window. The second standout is Sunday morning, the 6th of September, with 4ft of S swell and offshore wind. The big swell mid-week is only for experts and even then, the wind is not on your side.

Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Blue Bay Surf forecast

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