Blue Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here, looking at the surf for Blue Bay over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, with a few moments of absolute magic if you can pick your window, but plenty of time to kick back and wait for the good ones.

The first few days are a write-off, with tiny, weak surf and onshore winds that are just plain ugly. There's a gap of no real surf until the 7th.

The real standout is the morning of the 11th. That Friday is looking like the pick of the bunch. We've got a solid 7 ft S swell rolling in, a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is pumping at 1051 – that's a proper moderate to strong push. The absolute beauty is the wind: glassy, with a light WNW breeze. That means clean, peeling faces all morning. This is a confident, near-term call, and it’s the one to circle on the calendar. With the longer period, the waves will have some shape and power, but it might be a bit much for beginners at over 5 ft.

Monday morning the 7th is also worth a mention, with a 5 ft S swell and glassy W wind, giving you clean conditions. The energy is moderate at 357, so it’s a solid session, just not as powerful as the 11th.

Later in the week, the Friday afternoon of the 18th shapes up as a promising long-range option. We’ve got a 5 ft SSE swell, a period of 10 seconds, and a clean offshore WNW breeze at 12 mph. The energy is moderate at 389. It’s a bit further out, so less certain, but the ingredients are there for a good end to the week.

The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Alright, keep your eyes on that Friday the 11th morning. That's the one.

Rusty.
